I mentioned to my boss that I could make a simple app (since we are given android phone and I have been learning to develop apps for them) for our department with useful telephone numbers and some basic information. I am not a pro app designer and I just started learning java/android 10 months ago in my spare time.
He seems excited, which is awesome (getting paid to write apps! woohoo!!) but he wants me to make a christmas app or something Android/smartphone/ipad related to send to customers. I have never developed for an ipad and I am no graphics designer or super duper programmer. I think he would be happy if I could make something like this:
- An app internally distributed for Android (not too familiar with distribution and internal distribution).
-it seems much simpler to have an attachment that people can open in an email, but I think the idea of having an app is sexier - A powerpoint/video turned into an app. I have no experience making movies either. Is there a way to do this conveniently?
Basically, I need to make something that is nifty, uses some technology, and related to Christmas and my department. Any ideas?
In a word: don’t. If you have to ask, you probably can’t get something done in the next 16 days that would delight your customers or show off your company in the best light. You and your boss are off track on this one.
