Are you a professional developer or hobbyist? - General Topics

Hey everyone..
Just to share and learn from each other.
Are you a professional developer or hobbyist?
if professional, how long have you been working as a developer? What did you study in college?
and if hobbyist, do you consider working professionally?
Sharing is Caring

Hobbyist !
I do it for fun ! and learning new things (c#) !

I am a hobbyist developer though I am trying to break in getting employment as a coder, as a recent uni graduate in software engineer Im looking for a java based job, but I enjoy stretching out my skills and android seemed a logical step, plus i'd love to be able to create silly games. While im under no illusion that i'll get successful on my own it is a great way to build a portfolio. Plus I enjoy being able to work on my own ideas and be creative. I've only just released my first app but have plans of my future projects each a tiny bit more ambitious

I am trying to learn it and get better at it. I'll give my best

Flood It! the game - for PPC?

Guys,
I've just become obsessed with the flash game "Flood It" - http://www.labpixies.com/gadget_page.php?id=10
Can anyone tell me a similar game or how I can get this for my PPC?
THanks,
Grace
I am looking for the same game. It would be great if someone with programming skills could write similar game or IF possible port the existing game to pocket PC
Flood It came out for iPhone
I just checked the LabPixies website and I see that they came out with the Flood It game for iPhone.
I have NO idea how or if it is possible to port iphone games to windows mobile but I thought I would let you guys know that it exists so maybe someone can make it work under win mobile.
PS. I will be trying to make my own version working under windows mobile, but I will not start until the school semester is over due to the lack of time.
I will be coding in either VB.net or C#
wish me luck
Good Luck!!!
BTW.. have you had any luck writing this as yet?
I am sorry but I did not. I did not even try to be honest.
I had to take one internship/project class over the summer and I changed job so I didn't have much time.
LabPixes version of floodIt is so advanced now that it is hard to compete with
I am back to school now with 5 classes and full time job, so it will be hard to find time, and besides that to be honest the more I think about this project the less I think I know how to do it...
My programming skills are just not enough.
I think you will have to either use PC, iPhone or get Android on your device. The third seems like the easiest solution providing you have a device that the Android was ported to.
Sorry again and good luck.

Any game or App developer need help from a experienced 3d Artist???

Hi everyone,
I'm a skilled 3D artist and animator. I would like to contribute in any way to our dear Android comunity, since i'm not so experienced with programing, the best way to contribute would be through art.
Here is a link with my portfolio (not so up to date...)
youtube.com/watch?v=aiRHJq4q030
At the moment i'm not interessed in making money, i want to produce something really good. I see a lot of great (FREE) games, with nice concept but visually it could be better. I'm not in any way saying I'm the guy or that i'm better than anyone here, i know here are many talented people. I Just really want to get into this growing Android world, helping developers with something i can do.

Diploma Thesis - Questionnaire

Hey Guys!
I absolutely love the work of smartphone developers, use and love modifications and apps on my HTC Hero and you guys have been one of the main factors to choose a smartphone development for my diploma thesis. But now i have to conduct a questionnaire for which i ned android or iOS developers and modders to participate. It lasts not longer than 5 minutes and it's about the motivation and the advantages of android/iOS programming. I really need your help, because if i don't be able to get enough replies until christmas I'm not able to finish my studies in this semester..
It would be really kind of you if you would help my with my questionnaire because I need minimum 40 iOS/Android app or modification developers overall. and here is the link => h*ttp://umfrage.oeh-wu.at/fragebogen/SmartphoneOS/
Best regards, keep on rockin' and PLEASE help me,
Markus
(it would be very kind of you if you can give the link to my questionnaire to other developers as well, my thesis really relies on communities like xda-developers to find enough people which participate on the survey..)
Hey Guys! I hope it is not too rude to push the posting again, but I'm still in desperade need of devs who fill out the questionnaire to be able to finish my studies.
It's only for my diploma thesis and absolutely NOT commercial.
Thank you in Advance

[GAME][2.2+]Pop Smoke : Remastered

Hey Developers. I have been a flash developer for years now, lately I have been experimenting with publishing to android. But I feel so limited in performance and features when compiling from flash. That's why I have started learning Java.
Right now it feels like climbing a mountain, does anyone have any great beginner resources for learning Java Android development, that you really felt worked for you. Would be great if it took into account my Flash ActionScript 3 experience. I will probably become a nuisance the coming time, but hopefully I will be able to help someone else at a later time
The game I have been working on is called Pop Smoke : Remastered and is a Strategy/Tower Defense game . I'm thinking about leaving it as is, fix bugs, and focus on a new project in Java (I've got a good idea ). Feedback is greatly appreciated, I'm not looking to earn any money here so I will post some free codes, if more people are interested just PM me for more.

Project ARC. Getting kids/teenagers into the world of development!

Hey there! My name is Josh! I wanted to share some information on a project me and some friends have been working on for a few years now that recently has taken off! It is called aproject ARC Android rom creater's. Pretty much what it is is older guys like me with knowledge on coding and things of that nature. It is a after school/summer program for children and teenagers to learn the art of coding and building custom roms from source! We are currently hoping to expand this program into other states. Me and a friend originally stated it for our own kids and soon all the kids at school found out about what they were doing and learning and as you know kids these days can't live without there phone! So we figured.. since we can not beat them why not join them! Or better yet.. teach them! And that's what we did! I would live to see this go into more states and get more kids involved with it! As some of you may know.. the custom rom era is getting dry and it would be amazing to see these young minds bring more cool crap to the table! So we are currently seeking other like minded people that would love to get the kids and even adults! Into this! We also are currently seeking donor devices for them to learn on as this year for the summer camp we already have 46 students involved! The classes are free so getting devices for them to learn and practice on is a little hard with free classes lol! So if anyone would wanna help in that aspect as well that would be fantastic! Thanks for checking this out and hope to see some people interested!
