From there, we’ll delve into the challenges we faced, including learning a new programming language, designing for a mobile platform, and integrating with backend services. But don’t worry, we had a lot of fun along the way too! We’ll share some of the funny moments we experienced and the team bonding that happened during long hours of coding and debugging.
