"Hey everyone, my name is Dave Frankenberger and this is the beginning of myCapstone Project for the Launch Your First App program.
I am a retired Electrical Engineer who had a long career in hardware development. I always tinkered in doing software, mainly in the C language, to help me in my work. I have been retired for about 20 years.
As a hobby, I played around with app development many years ago for the Microsoft Phone because that was the phone I used and was familiar with the Microsoft tool set. That project ended when Microsoft dropped supporting their phone. I enjoyed that challenge and always considered continuing with the iPhone but never got around it until about 3 years ago. That became very frustrating because I was working on an old Apple laptop which was not compatible with the later versions of Xcode.
A year and and a half ago I purchased a new iMac and signed up with Coding with Chris. It has been a journey! Chris’s training has been terrific but I must admit it has been a challenge getting over the “new” tools and Apple terminology having been a Microsoft user well before they had Windows (DOS anyone?). Being 84 and very active in volunteer work does not help.
I will try to keep you updated with my progress with the Capstone project…Dave
