I'd like to share a couple with you today.

My first app was a unique fortune teller called Earth Fortune
我設計的第一個手機應用程式是一個獨特的算命師,叫「地球財富」
that would display different colors of Earth

My favorite and most successful app
我最喜歡的也是最成功的手機應用程式
is Bustin Jieber - (Laughter) -
是「 Bustin Jieber」(笑聲)
which is a Justin Bieber Whack-a-mole.
這是小賈斯汀槌槌樂
I created it because a lot of people at school
我會創造這個是因為
disliked Justin Bieber a little bit,
學校的很多同學都不太喜歡小賈斯汀
so I decided to make the app.
所以我決定要創造這個手機應用程式
So I went to work programming it,
我去設計出這個程式
and I released it just before the holidays in 2010.
而我在2010的假期前就開發出來了
A lot of people ask me, how did I make these?
很多人問我,我是怎麼做到的?
A lot of times it's because the person who asked the question
很多時候是因為,問我這個問題的人
wants to make an app also.
也想要自己設計出手機應用程式
A lot of kids these days like to play games,
近代有很多小孩都喜歡玩遊戲
but now they want to make them,
而現在他們想要自己設計
and it's difficult,
但這有困難
because not many kids know where to go
因為沒有很多小孩知道要去哪裡
to find out how to make a program.
尋找設計程式的方法
I mean, for soccer, you could go to a soccer team.
我的意思是...若你想學踢球,你可以去足球隊
For violin, you could get lessons for a violin.
若你想學演奏,你可以去上小提琴的課
But what if you want to make an app?
但如果你是想設計一個手機應用程式呢?
And the kid's parents might have done
有些小孩的家長或許
some of these things when they were young,
年輕時有設計過程式
but not many parents have written apps. (Laughter)
但並不是很多家長都設計過手機應用程式(笑聲)
Where do you go to find out how to make an app?
你可以去哪裡尋找如何設計手機應用程式?
Well, this is how I approached it. This is what I did.
這是我接觸它的方式。這是我做過的事
First of all, I've been programming
第一,我有寫過
in multiple other programming languages to get the basics down,
很多不同的程式語言,以奠下基礎
such as Python, C, Java, etc.
例如Python、C語言、Java之類的
And then Apple released the iPhone,
然後蘋果公司開發了iPhone手機
and with it, the iPhone software development kit,
裡面含有iPhone的軟體研發工具
and the software development kit is a suite of tools
而iPhone的軟體研發工具是一整套的工具
for creating and programming an iPhone app.
為了創造和設計iPhone的手機應用程式用的
This opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me,
這對我來說,是開啟了一個新的世界
and after playing with the software development kit a little bit,
在使用軟體研發工具之後
I made a couple apps, I made some test apps.
我設計了許多手機應用程式,我創造了一些考試型的手機應用程式
One of them happened to be Earth Fortune,
其中一個是地球財富
and I was ready to put Earth Fortune on the App Store,
而我準備好要將地球財富放上App Store
and so I persuaded my parents to pay the 99 dollar fee

to be able to put my apps on the App Store.
讓我可以將我設計的手機應用程式放上App Store
They agreed, and now I have apps on the App Store.
他們同意了,而現在,App Store上有我的作品了
I've gotten a lot of interest and encouragement

from my family, friends, teachers

and I've started an app club at school,
我在學校創立了一個設計手機應用程式的社團
and a teacher at my school is kindly sponsoring my app club.

and learn how to design an app.

There's these programs called the iPad Pilot Program,

A big challenge is, how should the iPads be used,
一個重大的困境是, iPad應該被如何使用
and what apps should we put on the iPads?
還有,什麼樣的手機應用程式適合被放進 iPad?
So we're getting feedback from teachers at the school

to see what kind of apps they'd like.

When we design the app and we sell it,
當我們開始設計手機應用程式和販售時
it will be free to local districts and other districts

that we sell to, all the money from that
而賣到其他地區所獲得的收入
will go into the local ed foundations.
將會納進當地的愛德基金會
These days, students usually know a little bit more
