WELCOME to my App Development website

I've started back developing and I hope to develop apps for people who want a hard worker and someone dedicated to doing the best he can.  Also Jackson plans to create C# training videos in the future.  Thank you for taking the time to check out my company website.

A hard decision

 I recently made the decision to focus on my art full-time. App development is expensive and I can't afford it now that I have a new car. I got it back in March. While working on the King Legacy app in Visual Studio. When I compiled and ran the application, the KingLegacy.exe was flagged as having a virus.  I made 3 versions of the app hoping that I could avoid the virus infecting the new app. I does not take long to create these apps. But I can't risk releasing it and infecting a customer's PC.  Also, I have a Windows 10 PC with my software on that. I needed to be migrating to Windows 11 and if I did I would have to get a new computer or keep and upgrade my new one. Again App Development is expensive and it is hard for 1 man to compete with these larger companies.  Finally, technology changes fast and you have to be constanly updating your computer skills. This is a known fact for those working in the computer field. I learned a lot and I was glad that I was able to make s

What Can I Learn From My Friends And Family?

 I've been trying to make money in different ways and haven't gotten anywhere. I've bounced between computers, to art and writing. My brother Bernard is an X-ray Technologist and he has a successful lawn business on the side. My niece Victoria works for HUD and she has a successful event decorating business. My friend *** works for a company that does printing and he is a successful personal boxing trainer on the side.  Another not-so-close friend works at the post office and has a successful hairstyling business.  My friend and landlord Jon works full time for himself and he has a successful moving business. His company actually started out as a shipping business. He also paints and lays carpet. My nephew, Elijah works for the FDA and he has a successful cigar bar with his business partners.  What can I learn from them? There was a guy who was going from house to house in my neighborhood asking people if he could cut their yard. I told him that my landlord already has some

Javascript All In One For Dummies by Chris Minnick

Image
 Javascript All In One For Dummies is the latest most up-to-date book by Chris Minnick for learning Javascript. I didn't know this, but I had bought an older outdated version. I left a review and Chris saw it and replied to me letting me know that he had a newer version of that book. He asked for my home address so he could send me a copy for free. I received the book on May 1, 2024, and I am binge-reading it right now. I hope to finish it today on this Memorial day holiday.

Random Thoughts - 4/24/2024

I started Jackson D.W. to work for myself. I have a new company and I need to put down on paper what direction I want it to go, how I will make money, and my goals and dreams for this business.   My goals for my company are  1. Teach C# and other programming languages   and operating systems. Some of my videos will be free on YouTube. But I will upload some to Udemy, a site where users can pay for your educational videos. 2.   Work to improve the Professor app that I created. This is my tool for teaching. In this Windows app, you can take my course The Jackson D.W. C# training course (On Youtube). Also, you can listen to the news, play games, and listen to music. I've got to work out the legalities of that. Please note this app is free. 3. Do IT consulting for various companies. I would be a self-employed Consultant. I'm not looking to create a consulting firm. 4. Write and sell Computer and Business books.   I self-publish my books through Amazon KDP so this is another aven
