QuickHN, a quicker Hacker News

The application I built is named “QuickHN”. It’s an entire rebuild x10 of my homework3 assignment. I am happy to say that it works as good as I wished it to – though there are always more features I can add. My app pulls information from news.ycombinator.com (hacker news) and displays it succinctly.  It doesn’t […]

HNExtended

bischetw hw 1

The app I wrote is called Questionize. It’s basically just like everything else that’s been posted… at least 5 questions and such. For my app, if a user gets a question wrong, the user can retry, try again later, or skip the question entirely.  When the user is done with the game he or she […]

Calculator STOCK homework0

The name of the app I’m doing a critique of is the Calculator stock app.       . It’s got the basic functionality of a simple calculator but not much more.  Learning to use the calculator is basically intuitive.  To get to a menu with a caret for power for exclamation for factorial, one simply […]
