Alarm Clock App - My freshman year project was to design an alarm clock application to install on a cellphone. This app incorporated different aspects of the phone to compile all of them into one. It is an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning and once past a wake-up call, the screen would show you the weather, list of chores for the day, and a randomly chosen quote to have for fun. This was a team effort and my specific contribution to the project was calibrating the touch screen and installing the buttons.
Working with a group can always be a challenge especially when you have to rely on them to do parts of the project. Everyone needs to be putting in the same amount of effort but to get everyone to do that doesn’t always work. No matter what the task, group work is always a learning experience and something to carry forever. This application didn't make it to complete working condition on time but was completely worth the time and taught me much more about java and more specifically in creating an app.
This project would have been useful to almost anyone that has trouble waking up in the mornings or anyone who would just prefer to look at one app rather than going through multiple apps on their phone to find out what they have for the day.
