Writing a paper about app development, need devs to answer questions - Off-topic

Hey guys, just wondering if one you devs would mind answering a few questions that I'm going to use to write my english paper.. I would greatly appreciate it.
feel free to leave your name or make one up, I'll use whatever your comfortable with.
1. What made you get into app development?
2. How long did it take before you were able to to start making apps?
3. Where do you see the mobile market going?
4. Would you say there is a good career in app development for mobile tech?
5. If you could go back in time, would you choose app development?
Thank you so much for reading and more thanks if you answer the questions!!

dammit. nobody? i really need to get started on this paper...
please somebody!

Why is there no APP for XDA?

I am, by no close means, knowledgeable enough to create an app on my own, despite my few recent time-restrained attempts to learn. I would think, considering how much this forum is used for android, that there would have been an app created that would make it easier to browse the vast ocean of knowledge that it has to offer. Perhaps an option where you can cache certain posts for faster/offline loading, or "watch" a post and get a notification when someone replies to it. I wouldn't even know how to begin doing this. Anyone agree?
Try this for now : http://mippin.com/web/index.jsp
Yes
This would be a great idea to create an app for xda
It would also be great if people asked their questions in the Questions&Answers forum
Wrong section bro.
But your concept does sound pretty cool.
good idea good luck with it
Visit this site on the phone and Bookmark it.

Early Christmas present. Only issue is it does post them in the exact same way as the forum. It simply posts the newest posted thread.

A:
Because people refuse to post questiona in the QUESTION and answer forums
lol to you guys only *****inig about the forum it was posted in, I think the first post doing so was sufficient so please stop racking up the post count with garbage.
Secondly to answer this guys question... I've tried to contact the site about any sort of API to create a standalone app for this place but had no success in that.
So the fastest and most organized thing at the moment would probably be to just use the browser.
Thanks for all the posts!
Thanks for all the great feedback on my question. I'll make sure next time, I will post in the correct forum. But thanks all those who mentioned that for being so..."tactful" about it. I'll try to not to displease the gods next time.
if anyone ever makes one make sure to let me know!

Ok, I have a patience of a saint...I really do.... but damn, did you read the first three threads in this in Q&A forum??????? Every question that you had (and opened a new thread for) was answered there.
I have a tip for you: you have a google phone... use it, google stuff. Noone is going to help you unless you put some of your own effort into it. With that said....

Your also the type that breaks the rules of the forums by posting questions that have already been answered. If you keep it up you are going to get the moderators upset. Be warned.

Please help!

I feel like an idiot, I am personally a galaxy note 2 rooted and custom rom'd user. The G1 was my first android phone years ago. I got 2 g1's for my mom and dad and am trying to get a custom recovery on them. I have rooted both, (1 on 1.5 and the other 1.6) and cannot even see clockwork mod rom manager in the market. I'm guessing because it is such an old android build. What the hell do I do to get a custom recovery on these? All the sites I have found that host amon ra 1.7 do not have the file any more. I wish it was just as easy as installing rom manager, but I canot find it in the market. Please help me, my parents are without phones and I look like a fool.
First off try posting in the q&a section

Ok, first, I will say THANK YOU. As I have already ready that and every other thread and must have missed the section that I just now found.
Second, you need to learn how to talk to people, because at risk of sounding like a keyboard cowboy, I am not the type of person that people talk to that way. I am not trying to flame here, I am thankful that you just helped me, but please understand that there is a right and wrong way to talk to people.
Again,
Thank you for helping me see what I had preciously overlooked.
Seriously... No need to be on a high horse here fella, trying to help you understand how and when to post in a forum, if you spent any time in the stickies you would see rules on where to post, theyre very basic and usualy shouldnt even need to be said as theyre kinda obvious. When you hit the search key it may be kinda hard at first, but then you realize its sorted by date, and when "recovery" pops up 30 times in the past fews feeks you haved to assume thered might be something for you in there
And yes i am just trying to help so i appreciate you saying thank you but really, your on the internet, dont be tough, i and everyone else will talk to you however we want, no one is tough on the internet, dont pretend like people care who you are and just be happy you were pointed in the right direction

Lol, I have been a member of this forum longer than you, if you want to talk to me, I will pm you my phone number. I will also fly to see you. I can afford that. I dont live in my parents basement. I would love to continue this conversation in person, and will arrange it if you oblige, pm me. Please.
Im glad you made it out of your parents basment, again no one cares, no one cares how much money you have or that you dont have a fear of planes. No one cares how long youve been on the internet or members of a forum. And especially no one cares how tough you are. Feel free to waste your time flying down to see me, i and no one else will care that you do.
And for the sake of pointing out the obvious again, saying youve been a member of xda longer than i just shows that you should know where and when to post and just be greatful you got help anyhow, how about you show how tough you are by fighting the urge to even repond to this and learn to let it go, be greatful, and most important, be quiet

Again, thank you for your help I honestly appreciate it. I just thought you came across a little harsh originally. No point of getting tough like you said, thanks again.
you know i should apologize too, i used to be very hot tempered back in the day and have come down to a normal level over the years, i appreciate you responding in kind
to clarify my purpose is to help people here and some time i come off as harsh only because im busy at the moment or get tired of similar question being asked
anyhow if you need any further help just ask, im around frequently and enjoy helping - just remember this isnt a **** comparing contest so we can leave it at that
good luck on rooting your phones
My kind of guy, thats an expression I would have used myself lmao. KCCO BROTHER

[REQUEST] Who are the developers?

Hello everyone!
Reading a lot and flashing awesome roms and mods at XDA I start to get increasingly interested in who the developers are. Sometimes threads go slightly off-topic and we get a glimpse of the person who is devoting so much time and effort for our devices.
Isn't there a thread missing where those stars we admire leak something about themselves?
There is a long list of celebrities on XDA/SGN700, and I (and I guess many other addicts/inmates/groupies) would be very delighted if those of you who want to could tell us something about yourself or off-topic you just don't want to post into the developer threads. Or accept our humble requests to leak something personal about yourself. Maybe something like this:
Where do you live?
What do you do to make a living?
Why do you develop? Why for the Note?
What did you do to learn this magic?
What do you work on right now? What's next? [no ETA, of course]
What is your personal challenge in developing?
Maybe something personal, what do you like and hate in real live and here? Why did you chose that avatar? Etc.
That might also keep the threads clean of this stuff.
@moderator: If this is dealt with somewhere else or surprisingly has been posted already - please delete. Thanks!
Doubt you'll get many bites on this, so here is a start for you.

FYI, xplodwild is / was the lead dev for official Cyanogenmod on the Note GT-N7000.
Thank your for the link, exactly what I was looking for. I just hoped to shed some light on some more of them, since we just take so much and don't even know their names.
Maybe you are right, though I hope not.

That's called privacy and you should respect it.
So before posting something like this you have at least to ask the person you're writing about for permission. I doubt this has happened here.

Thank you ThaiDai for your answer.
I respect privacy very much, that is why I wrote "those of you who want to". The questions I posted don't aks for privacies. And I did not ask for names, or did I? Nothing to doubt, please.
Anyway, thank you nickshertzer. If there is more like that anyone knows I would be grateful.

Try to find the best section to post and then ask a Mod to move your thread to the selected section.
Im sure this way you will have better chances to get help.
Good luck!
