Show HN: My first Android App - written after 14 days of learning how to code :)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wtfsoftware.wtfgeneratorfunnypics
I submit it as a proof that in 14 days anyone can become a (crappy) programmer :)
I'm 32, educated in humanities, I work in a bookstore and in my entire life I have never tried programming. Just a typical user, I knew basic HTML, like adding bold to text etc.
Few months ago I started lurking on hackernews, I read about CodeAcademy and decided to learn how to code JavaScript.
Fast-forward 14 days: Wow, it's easier than I thought;)
Here's my first app. It's written in Javascript and compiled in Appcelerator Titanium. It's, uhm, basic and it's a bit crappy, half of the code is copied from different sources found online (Titanium Q&A! love it!) - but it works! It downloads and shows random memes from a number of websites.
Probably it's not the best place to show that kind of stuff, but I'm proud enough to ignore it :)

- mgallivan 15y agoGood for you. Will you continue to build on this or start a new project entirely?
- maciek_kon 15y agoThanks! No, I think I'll start writing something new (hopefully more useful).
- _x_y_z_ 15y agoJust saw a post about http://www.proxxler.com http://www.proxxler.com (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3600713 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3600713). Maybe this is what you are looking for? I bet you will need some days less for your first "Hello World!" with this one.
- maciek_kon 15y agoLooks cool, but now I hope to go further from my "Hello World, now I scrape You" app :)
- lix2333 15y agoHey there, I started CodeAcademy recently as well. Did you only use that to learn JavaScript? Or were there other resources as well? I was just hoping for more of a detailed explanation of how you went from nothing to an android app.
