Week #12: Uber and Flappy Bird
This week I built an Uber clone and after that, a Flappy Bird clone. I had the chance to work with Parse Geolocation API and libGDX for developing the game. Also I followed an introduction to Android Wear, how to build simple applications for smart watches and test these apps in the emulator.
Week #11: Jump Starting Sinatra
I developed a simple Sinatra application, after reading through “Jump Start Sinatra” by Darren Jones (apparently, there’s a footballer with the same name; he didn’t write a book). While I’ve been playing before with Ruby, using Rails and Chef, this is my first time with Sinatra.
Week #10 extends Week #9
It has been almost a month since the last blog post. School requires a lot of my time so I haven’t been playing around starting from December 20. Now that I finished all of my school projects (and I’m getting ready for the exams season) I think it is better to write a blog post about what I’ve been doing lately.
Week #9: Java, Node.js and Android
For the last 2-3 weeks I’ve been working with Node.js and Java. The projects are still work-in-progress, but I feel obliged to write the blog post and describe what I’ve been working on.
Week #8: Remaking an Ionic Application
This week I went back to one of the frameworks I like in the hybrid app development “field”, the Ionic Framework, and built a logo game using it"
Week #7: 7 questions answered
Instead of building another application this week, I picked 7 interesting questions over time and I intend to answer them as good as I can.
Week #6: An IRC-like Application in Java
As a challenge, I built a client-server application that allows multiple clients to communicate with each others using java Threads and Sockets
Week #5 challenge: Authorization for the Last Week Project
I added a simple authorization mechanism to my last week’s project using API keys, so not everyone could have access to everything.
Week #4 challenge: Server-side JavaScript
I gave a try to Sails.js, an MVC framework built upon Express.js and socket.io that resembles the MVC behavior of frameworks like Ruby on Rails
Week #3 challenge: Cooking Virtual Machines with Chef
This week on my 52 weeks, 52 projects challenge I tried provisioning a virtual server using Ruby and Chef Solo.
