Week 1 assignments

Recently we've been working on reading some articles and doing research on all of the work and science that actually goes into creating a mobile application. The findings have proven to be very interesting and mind blowing - the coding and computer science behind these apps are very intricate for a person like me! Beyond those readings, we've also been working on researching some current apps that claim to help with healthy eating. In my findings most of the apps counted calories or scanned barcodes to provide nutritional information. Only a few were actually backed by the USDA or registered dietitians, the rest were more of food trackers or calorie counters. So far there seems to be some very good information out there and I'm excited to see what we come up with from here!
