Momma Said
1:38Let's wrap things up. I got my mom to give you some advice.
How awesome is it that you
made that slick looking,
0:00
fully functional productivity app?
0:03
I'd pay for that.
0:06
There's no stopping you now.
0:07
And you can even go back and build all the
apps that we've built up until this point.
0:08
You have all the logic.
0:12
And now you have the power to put
in the modern user interface.
0:13
I'm very happy that we got to go over some
important object oriented concepts and
0:17
introduce you to a plethora
of new technologies.
0:21
I showed my mom what we built, and
0:24
she of course expected
the design of a set-up app.
0:25
But she was thoroughly impressed
with the Pomodoro app.
0:29
While I was talking to her, I asked her to
tell me the story of my earlier art and
0:33
offer some advice.
0:37
Here's what she said.
0:38
>> When Craig was little,
I'd walk into the classroom.
0:39
I'd immediately know which
art project was his.
0:42
There would be lines of
perfectly laid out snowmen,
0:45
made from cotton balls,
button noses and pretzel sticks.
0:49
And then there'd be Craig's, just a pile
of cotton balls with stuff on top.
0:54
I'd tell him that you don't
have to be good at everything.
1:00
You have to know where your
strengths are and focus on those.
1:04
Do what makes you happy.
1:08
Other people are good at things, and
you can work together with them.
1:11
Find your strengths.
1:15
You have them.
1:16
And look what you've created.
1:18
I'm so proud of you.
1:20
And you too.
1:23
>> Thanks, Mom.
1:25
Any other device you'd like to give
these up and coming Java developers?
1:26
>> Sure.
1:29
Don't forget to call your mother.
1:31
>> That's great advice, Mom.
1:33
Thanks for hanging out.
1:35
We'll see you real soon.
