3.1 Building an APK file of "HelloWorld" project on Mac and Windows.

將 "Hello World" 範例發佈成 APK 檔（Mac 跟 Win）

For most students, the number of having an Android phone is bigger than the number of having an iPhone. Therefore, in this unit we are going to demonstrate how to build a APK file of "HelloWorld" Project in order to test it on Android devices.

對於大多數學生來說，擁有 Android 手機的人數大於擁有 iPhone 的人數。因此，在本單元中，我們將展示如何構建 "HelloWorld" 專案的 APK 文件，以便在Android 設備上進行測試。

Testing applications on an Android device

Creating and testing the Android builds on an Android device does not require a developer account like how an Apple developer does for iOS devices. The only tools we need to build for Android are a PC or Mac, Corona , JDK installed, and an Android device. If you plan on submitting an app to the Google Play Store, you'll need to sign up as a Google Play Developer at following URL

https://play. Google.com/apps/publish/signup/.

There is a one-time $25 registration fee you have to pay if you want to publish software on the Google Play Store.

you can pay with the following credit or debit cards:

MasterCard

Visa

American Express

Discover (U.S. only)

Visa Electron (Outside of the U.S. only)

Note: The types of cards accepted may vary by location.

在 Android 設備上測試應用程序

不像 Apple 開發人員對 iOS 設備的操作那樣，在 Android 設備上創建和測試Android 版本的 APK 是不需要開發者帳戶。我們需要為 Android 構建的唯一工具是一台 PC 或 Mac、Corona 、已安裝好的 JDK 和 Android 的行動設備。如果您計劃將應用提交到 Google Play 商店，則需要以下 URL 註冊為 Google Play 開發者

7.1 Introducing version control using Github

版本控制 Github 介紹

What is the version control?

什麼是版本控制？

Version control systems are a category of software tools that help a software development team manage changes to source code over the development of time.

版本控制系統是一類軟體工具，可幫助軟體開發團隊在開發時間內管理原始程式碼的更改

Version control software keeps track of every modification to the code in a special kind of database. If a mistake is made, developers can turn back the clock and compare earlier versions of the code to help fix the mistake while minimizing disruption to all team members. Therefore, it is really an industry requirement skill when you apply for a programming job.

版本控制軟體利用特殊類型資料庫去追踪中程式的每項修改。如果發生錯誤，開發人員可以如時鐘般的迴轉，並比較早期版本的程式，以幫助修復錯誤，同時最大限度地減少對所有團隊成員的干擾。因此，當您申請程式開發工作時，它確實是業界要求必備的技能。

8.1 Using Sublime Text debug to evaluate the errors of Corona SDK code

在編譯器中檢視錯誤訊息

Using Corona for debugging.

As a developer beginner in programming, you will from time to time encounter problems in your code, including improper usage of an API, incorrect logic, misspelling, or any number of other issues. This guide will teach you how to debug your code, detect some common problems, and find their solutions.

使用 Corona 進行除錯。

作為程式開發人員的初學者，您將經常在程式碼中遇到問題，包括 API 的不當使用，錯誤的邏輯，拼寫錯誤或任何其他問題。這個指南將教您如何除錯，檢測一些常見問題，並找到他們的解決方案。

Normally beginners of computer programming have a tendency to blame the everything to the compiler, the library, or anything other than their own code. Experienced programmers would love to do the same things, but they know that, realistically, most problems are their own fault.

通常，計算機程式設計師的初學者會常會將責任歸咎於編譯器，函式庫或其他任何其他除了不是他本身程式碼的一切問題。有經驗的程式設計師會喜歡做同樣的事情，但他們知道，實際上大多數問題都是自己的錯。

Fortunately, most of the bugs are simple and can be solved with simple techniques. Look at any debugging output before the program crash; if it is possible, you should get a stack trace from a debugger. Now you know something of what happened, and where. Pause to reflect. How could that happen? Reason back from the state of the crashed program to determine what could have caused this.

幸運的是，大多數錯誤是很簡單，可以用簡單的技術來解決。在程式當機之前查看任何輸出的除錯編碼 ; 如果可能，您應該從除錯編碼獲取堆疊追踪資訊。現在你知道發生了什麼，以及在哪裡。暫停去反覆思考。這個是如何發生的？原因是從崩潰程序的狀態反思回來，以確定可能造成的原因。

Using Corona Editor

Corona Editor has an add-on feature and works well with Sublime Text. This allows you to see debugging messages in Sublime Text editor without needing a console window. It also allows you to examine your code using an interactive debugger.
