How my senior project helped me land my first job.
Some Background
When I was in collage, I was asked to create do something with all the knowledge I gained while I was studying for my bachelors in Computer Science. I was first introduced to mobile development in my Java class using a terrible IDE known as Eclipse. I really like the idea of being able to create applications on a mobile device so I did more research on it. Eventually it let me Android Studios which was still in it’s early stages but worked so much better than Eclipse. After messing around with that for a while, I decided I was going to build an Android Application on my device for my senior project.
The Idea
Great I knew what I wanted to do but what should I do? Well, I had an idea, at the time, of an Application that could let you work at multiple companies on different projects the same time. You would choose which company you were working for today and which project and clock in and out and had a summary of the day, week, etc. Since our senior project was a team thing. My partner worked on all the API and I just worked on the Android App. I can’t recall the library I used to communicate to the API at the time but it wasn’t to hard to get it all working.
