While we've still early in our development process, we've already seen quite a few questions about what we're doing. Hopefully, this FAQ will answer questions you may have. If your question isn't answered here, send us an e-mail at Info@CollegeKidApp.com and we'll be sure to get back to you.
1 - Who are you guys?
Answer - We're three college kids from Valparaiso University who are looking to make an iPhone application to see on the iTunes App Store this summer.
2 - Why make an iPhone app?
Answer - With the economy in its current state of disarray, it's pretty much been extremely difficult to find a decent summer job as a college student. Couple that with this being both Mike's and my last summer before we hit the real world, we wanted to give ourselves the chance to do something real cool before we're stuck in the regular grind of an everyday job.
3 - How much do you know about iPhone development?
Answer - Not too much, to be honest. Half of our excitement in this project will be overcoming obstacles from our lack of understanding in iPhone development as we work toward a final product. We're sure will face ups and downs, but we're confident that we can learn and make an application.
4 - What application are you going to make?
Answer - As of right now, we'll be honest, we don't really know yet. Our goal is to do some practice small applications, see what our limitations are, and then develop an application. We'll keep you posted though the blog as we make more decisions.
5 - What are you going to tell us about development? Will you answer any questions?
Answer - We're going to try to be as open as humanly possible while not jeopardizing any developmental goals. We plan on having online Q&A sessions through Justin.tv and podcasts. We'll also be sure to reply back to any question you may have through e-mail if you contact us at Info@CollegeKidApp.com.
6 - Can I help with the project in any way?
Answer - In short, yes and no. Due to both the legal technicalities and just team structure we've mandated upon ourselves, we won't be accepting outside help or ideas on the project. This is going to be an app fully developed by our three man team. However, you can definitely be of aid in many other ways. First, feel free to spread the word on our website by following us on Twitter or sending your friend a link, you have no idea as to how much that helps us out. Second, we are also looking for podcast and website sponsorships as well as donations in general. To inquire about sponsorships, e-mail us at Info@CollegeKidApp.com.
