Week 1

This week I had only a handful of goals, many of which involved reading materials about designing appropriate applications. I have to admit reading a mountain of text can be a bit intimidating but I found some of the stuff to be really useful and, to be honest, I had no idea how much thought went into an application. Everything from the information you provide to the color scheme needs to have a meaning and reason.

Besides reading I was also assigned to look up applications already designated for healthy eating. These applications ranged from recipes, to fast food calories, to grocery store food ratings. Some held infinite amounts of information, some had information that could be edited by the user, some had information only provided by the developer, and most did not use a person's location. I feel as if I've only cracked the surface of the available free applications out there, I have some more digging to do!
