Today I explored more programming languages: Python and Java. Then, I went into developing mobile apps. I started with IOS apps and how to get started with that. I learned about making sure an app gets approved in the App Store, and how to keep it clean and updated for users. Then I learned the same thing for Android apps. Next, I learned about the different services to use for creating cross-platform apps. I also learned how to monetize an app. Finally, I continued working on my music production project.

I started today with learning how to make money immediately. I learned about swagbucks and signed up to try some activities for some money. I am considering signing up for Amazon Mechanical Turk. Then I went into the writing unit and did a final writing piece to Techie Youth since it was the last week, along with a little poem. I learned a little bit about making money by listening to music as well. I worked on the providing services course, and I looked a bit into the transcription section and freelance writing sections. I was most interested in the voice acting section. I already had an upwork profile so I submitted that as well. At the end of the day I learned about databases and SQL and NoSQL
Today I continued working on my music production assignment. I decided to switch to a new DAW and went back to those lessons to get refreshed on what I needed to know. I plan on researching further into equipment along with a new DAW to use. Then I went over the Getting Paid section to finish the entrepreneurship lessons. I learned about the different ways to charge people other than the ones I knew such as Square and Paypal. I also learned about different bank accounts other than what I knew. I am halfway done with my executive summary for the entrepreneurship assignment.
Today I learned about how to obtain funding, lean startups, how to get investors and venture capitalists to invest, MVPs, staying silent, how to win people over, negotiating, and how to handle employees. I finished all the lessons for the Entrepreneurship and Business topic and came up with an idea for my executive summary. I also continued to work on my music production assignment
Today I learned about the basics of a startup business for entrepreneurs. It was focused on the important things to do before even starting the business. I learned about executive summaries, business models, and profit models. I also learned about the importance of sharing your idea with others instead of keeping it a secret in order to receive feedback and know if your idea is really good. I learned about the multiple ways to earn revenue such as freemium models and subscription models. I considered starting web development today as I also continue to work on my music production project. I hope to be done with these soon and move on to app development.
So far this week has been even more worth my time. Today I learned about the fundamentals of entrepreneurship as well as how to be a leader. I ended the day working on my music project.
I continued experimenting with garageband for my music project. It is going good so far. I am still not sure if that is the DAW I want to use for my final submission. I then finished learning about options trading.

I look forward to going over the areas I am interested in, starting with Music Production.
