28. Intro to Study Break: Charity Miles

A Real-Life Case Study: Charity Miles

Congratulations on finishing the first practice set! You persisted past difficult problems and challenged yourself beyond your comfort zone. We are very proud of you.

The reason why we created this class is because we believe that you have a unique combination of strengths and background experiences (unrelated to programming) that no other Android developer will have. You can use this to your advantage because a developer's effectiveness isn't based purely on technical knowledge. Your point of view is an incredibly valuable asset as a developer because you see the world in a different way, recognizing problems and potential solutions that others may not see.

Think of Android development as a new skill in your tool kit that you can use to solve problems in your own community.

Coming up next, you'll hear from a developer who did just that! Gene Gurkoff will share his story of how he used his own unique experience to recognize a problem, and built an app called Charity Miles to help solve that problem.
