I should apply as a US citizen as it would give me more benefits and i could get in the college eaier than if I applied like a colombian citizen. But some say it wouldn't make a difference saying I would get the US benfits and the cultural benefits the Colleges see my colombian passport.

I want to now how much it would cost for a good college (estimate)

I want to now how long to you have live in a state to get in state tuition.

What is ultimately better to have to undergraduate degree or 1 master.

For a college that is rated top 100 in the US cost from 30 grand up to 250 grand.http://businessmajors.about.com/od/payingforschool/a/CollegeCosts.htm

According to this site it says you have to live 12 months in the state to get the tuitionhttp://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/paying-for-college/savings/articles/2009/12/23/how-to-get-in-state-tuition

Having 1 masters degree is better than having to undergraduate degree even though having two would be helpful.

I learned in state tuition is a good way to cut your expenses in half and when it that amount of money it could be a life saver. The bad things is you would have to live in the state for a year and is only for public school.

Also you should really look for your school because bigger doesn't necessarily mean better.

think about what you're going to study because if you switch careers you'll lose all the time you've been in the other career.

Google Day #3

See what type of apps sell the most.

Find a site that lets you build that kind of app.

Make the app.

http://www.businessinsider.com/best-selling-iphone-apps-2010-9?op=1 It says in this site that most apps are games but the problem of creating a game is really hard and needs a lot of coding so I thought the other there were sports or medika type apps. SO why no try

https://www.capriza.com/ This site lets you take anything from any site and put it in your phone so if you're doing lets say an app of football player you can just copy paste it into your app.

I just made my app and U used many articles regarding the US presidential election. I chose articles from CNN and BBC and FOX. This was a great way of learning how to do apps but I would like an app that does moe than just copy paste articles into your app.

Something new i want to learn next class is: Does android make you pay to put your app on their app store.

Google Day 2

Goals:
See how to advertise
What makes an app good
How to get an app on app store


http://mashable.com/2012/01/20/advertise-app/
here ist says how to advertise. It consists of many elements like creating buzz, telling people about it's releases date and maybe putting a lower price for the app. Also putting your App name out there wether it paid advertisement in other apps or just telling your normal consumers that there is going to be an app.

http://seattleapplab.com/blog/?p=64
it says here that the most important thing is content if you have great content you should start to get some people to like or start using the app. Also to make regular app updates because the app user can see that you care about

http://mobile.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/11/how-to-create-your-first-iphone-application/

It says here that it cost 99 dollars a year to have a developers license and 5 dollars for every x code update. It isn't as easy as it sounds. Then you give the app to apple and hope it gets approved.
These are the 5 steps so that it gets approved
1. Make sure it works
2.Leave some complicated stuff out then add them later in an update
3. Follow the rules no matter how dumb they seem.
4. Try to make the app inoffensive apple canceled an app because it had women with small bikinis
5. Be orginal app store said they don't need more fart apps be creative unless it might be rejected



I learned that apple isn't as great as it sound to developers. Also that if your willing to pay 99 dollars dor developers license go ahead and use paid advertising. Make your app creative and follow the 5 guilde of smahingmagazie.

Google Day 1

My 3 goals:
1. Learning how to put apps or games in the app store.
2. How to sell an app in the app store or Android market.
3. How to make profit of an app.


1. To get in on the app store it cost 99$ that is a lot of money. But you get some benefits like you get to see the problem your app has on your mac using a simulation of an I Phone in other words you debug it. You also get some tools like instrument, X code and interface builder.
2. It says to give the reviewers a basic thing on what they should look at so that they don't have to search the whole game looking for stuff. Also to promote it right before it is released. This will make the selling of the game better and faster and if you do this then if you're lucky you will make it to the top 25 increasing even more the chances of selling you're game.
3. To put on the app store it costs 99 $ so I'm going to put it on the Android make the 99 dollars and then out  on the app store making if i sell one copy a profit.

next class I'm going to see how I should advertised >

What am Going to learn: I'm going to learn how to create an app. Using the site http://cloud.google.com/pricing/, http://www.appsbar.com/?gclid=CJzd-oTrvLICFQSxnQod-TUAdw I can create app and also learn who it is made. Also on this site it says what intrigued us to buy apps. An other thing  is how to make a game do exactly as you want it to do.
http://www.raywenderlich.com/11633/how-to-market-and-promote-your-games-and-apps-part-2 In this site it explains how to make your app sell more or even sell at all. This is very important because if you have the best app in the world but nobody know about its not going to sell. Work a little extra on java script.



How am going to present: There are two possibility's
1 Make an app and present it to the class as well as show the process's from where it came from.
2. Present a video in class how to make an app from getting it to work properly to getting profit from it as well as why to make an app.
It all depends on how well I can develop the app as well as the time  I have is enough
