Exercise 3: App Idea - Submit via Brightspace in PDF. Due by 4 pm on Mon Aug 31
All applications start with an idea or a need. As a user, write a description of an application. The description should include who would use it and its features. The application can be one that you create yourself or an existing program.
Guidelines:
- The description must be at least 350 words long
- Include a name for the app at the top
- Do not identify yourself in the description
- Assume this is a smartphone app
- The description should be of the what not the how. Do not include any discussion of programming languages, libraries to use, or software design. Do not talk about how easy or difficult it would be to create the app. Do not describe the screens, views, or user interaction.
- If the application already exists, be creative with your name and description
Comments:
- This is not the place if you have a great app idea. Your app idea may be shared with others or discussed (anonymously) with the entire class.
- This is not the app that you or your future team will work on.
- Notes: Roots
- HFSD: Chapter 1
- Exercise 4: HFSD Chapter 1 Sharpen Your Pencil Completed during class.
Unless stated otherwise, all exercises are due by 4 pm on Fri Aug 28
