Project Feedback! #1

Hello Paul,

Looks good, this exercise is intended in part to give you an introduction to the general rhythm of this course. The course is entirely project-based with an app being assigned each week and then due the following week. Each project builds on the last to help each engineer learn the practical elements of Android development and best practices as quickly as possible. We also do a code review for each submitted project once the program begins.

The next step is to continue working on extensions to your todo app. With regards to extensions to implement, we are looking for developers with an interest in user experience and product development so be sure to focus on additional functional enhancements and/or improving the user interface of the app. You can re-submit on the application dashboard anytime and we'll take another look.

We'll be following up with you again shortly to outline the next steps in the admissions process.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for completing the initial pre-work! Based on the high-volume of applications (500+) we've received, we strongly suggest that you continue extending your todo app with new functionality and/or improve the user interface. You can re-submit your app anytime with updates through the application dashboard after updating your README.md with latest features.

thanks! I just resubmitted with my latest changes. Will be trying to get some more features in by the 20th!

Hi Paul,

Great to see you were able to augment your app with many extensions now. As mentioned earlier, the extension tasks available on each project are often the most valuable learning since they dive deeper into common real-world Android use cases.

We'll be in touch with you again soon via email. Let us know if you have any questions about the project or anything in the meantime, you can always reach us at admissions@codepath.com.

Hi Paul,

Great job on your initial pre-work, really glad to see you've already tackled many app extensions at this time. These UI enhancements or feature additions are often where the most important learning happens in the course.

The next step is to schedule a short 15-minute phone conversation with us here. Find a date that works for you and confirm a 15-minute slot. Let us know if none of those times work. You can read more about how to prepare for the phone conversation here.

Prior to our chat, can you take some time to research the most common Android Activity lifecycle methods as well as the ArrayAdapter pattern used when working with lists? We will be discussing these topics with you conceptually in the phone call. We encourage you to search our guides as well as any other sources you'd like.

Once you select a slot, you'll be sent a calendar invite with the phone number to call. Look forward to chatting soon!
