PAST - PRESENT - FUTURE

 

 

        My name is Christian Juarez. I was born and raised in Southern California. As a child I was really into Basketball that is until I played with my first computer. Not many people had computers in the late 90s early 2000s reason being they were really expensive back then. So when my brother brought home our first computer I was just amazed of all the possibilities you can do on it. I was 8 or 9 years old at the time but I knew I found my passion.

           I am currently attending Oxnard College and majoring in IT networking. On my spare time I am learning a programming language known as Java. For those who don’t know, java is mainly used for application development. I am focusing in development of android apps and maybe IOS as well. Since last year I have wanted to create an app but never really took the initiative to go for it but once I seen the type of money some of these guys make developing apps I am definitely going for it. I want to share a few examples;

-        The popular app known as Snapchat has recently been offered 3 billion dollars by Facebook to buy the app off of the 23 year old creator.

-        Another popular app was WhatsApp which was bought out by social media giant Facebook for 19 million dollars.

-        Instagram was bought out again by the social media titan Facebook for 1 billion dollars.

-        An app that shows the current events was bought out by Yahoo for 30 million dollars. Ohh and the creator was 17 years old. :O

 

       In the near future I would like to release my own app and hope it gains popularity. I know it’s going to take time and my first app might flop and completely be terrible but I won’t give up. I will keep improving as I go on and learn more. Who know maybe just maybe my app will be as popular as Snapchat.
