Focusing My Vision
Astute readers may have noticed the plurality in the following quote from my initial post introducing Sugar Maple Software:
I decided that I had other passions to explore and I wasn’t getting any younger. One of these passions is independent software development for the Mac. So, I founded Sugar Maple Software.
I referred to passions plural. The other passion that I’ve been pursuing since last September is teaching high school physics. I’ve been working towards completing my Secondary Education Teaching Certificate and my Master’s in Teaching from National-Louis University. I expect my certificate to be issued any day now and plan to finish my Master’s in August. I will be teaching high school physics starting this fall. I love it. (Posts have been intermittent lately since I’ve been student teaching.)
I plan to continue to develop NewsHawker. I also plan to continue consulting this summer and during school breaks and future summers.
That said, I want to focus the vision of Sugar Maple Software such that my future applications more closely align with teaching or physics. If I can achieve this, the synergy will benefit both my career as a teacher and Sugar Maple Software.
I’m definitely open to any ideas that the development or teaching communities may have. Please feel free leave a comment, via e-mail, or talk to me in person at C4[1] if you are heading there next month.
