The Technogeek Pages
A technogeek is someone who follows the development of technology with a passion. (That is my definition anyway.)
My current passion is the Android operating system, and in
particular the phones and tablets still evolving. I bought the
first Verizon Droid shortly after it's release. I had already
discovered gmail, and discovered that all of my addresses, phone
numbers and contact information was automatically synced to my Droid.
Wow. I envisioned something like this 30 years ago. Technology
had finally caught up with my expectations. Time to learn more about
google.
Watching google is like picking a single drop to watch in a waterfall. In order to get a feel for things, you've got to jump right in and go with the flow.
To that end, I have begun with the newly released beta of App Inventor. Now App Inventor is not a rich, fully developed development system, but it provides everything one needs to develop quite sophisticated programs.
I have developed a program called Decision Explorer using App Inventor. Now, I could have chosen any of several development systems, but I am at the time of my life when I can choose to follow what interests me. I have had a long career developing software, from before the integrated circuit arrived on the scene, until I retired in 2004. You can see my resume here.All Rights Reserved
