Wrapping Up--Full Tutorial Series

As the internship comes to a close, I've got one last project to wrap up: the full tutorial series for integrating the AdAdapted SDK into an iOS application. All of the video capture is done and all that remains is to record the voice-over and edit the clips. There's not a lot of heavy editing, so I'm not expecting that part to take very long.

It's been a wild time. I've learned how to use Android Studio, I learned basics of Swift and Xcode and made an app in Android Studio and Xcode. I've learned a ton and it's been a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to finishing up this project to have a very tangible thing to point at and say, "Look at what I made for this company."

Example App is Coming Along

I've been working on an example mobile app for Android at AdAdapted. The goal is to build an app that looks like a "real-life" one specific to the developer audience they target, and then integrate their SDK. During integration, I'll be documenting my experience and noting where I run into issues. I'll also be including the solutions to those issues. The guide should serve the company as a means to see more of the experience a developer who isn't really familiar with their tools would have. The app's looking good, and it's a ton of fun to work on!

Integration Complete, Videos Next

I just recently completely finished the integration of Addit, and it's a pretty cool tool. Items can be added to my app externally and all looks good, so now I can move onto the tutorial videos. Hopefully I'll be able to move forward on them. I'll be making about two as a kind of demo of what to expect of them, and then I'll sit down with some other members of the company and they'll decide if they'll be useful. If the videos are a no-go, I suppose I'll turn my eyes toward working on an FAQ to help developers with the process and their problems. Ideally, though, I would like to accomplish that goal with videos, since I personally find videos pretty helpful in learning anything software-related. I know that when I learn a new toolset, the first thing I look for are tutorial videos.

App Nearly Complete--Tutorials?

After a few days' work, the example app is nearly ready. The SDK is fully integrated and the only work that remains is cleaning up some layout issues. Other than that, the SDK was fairly easy to work with. I may be making a video tutorial series detailing the process for integrating the SDK for developers who are more visual learners. I know that when I'm learning a new toolset and how to work it into my own work flow, I really like to find videos by the developer detailing the steps. While the integration was pretty easy, I can see spots where people may have questions, and I know that I messed up. I spent about an hour and a half integrating the wrong SDK, only to realize the mistake when I noticed the guide I was following didn't give any steps on how to actually display the ads. Regardless, it's been a lot of fun designing and building the app, even if it is just a simple example app. I hope that I'll be ready to start making the tutorial series by this Frid
