IT development by using Catch Questions

I am still a novice in programing or IT knowledge. So, if you discover any error about Catch Questions, I hope you to let me know with your kind and generous heart. Anyway, even I think I have to tell IT is necessary for our world and the future. So, I hope Catch Questions could be helpful for programers.

I have studied Swift and PHP for while and the more I know about scripts for my program, the greater I see the wisdom of our ancestors are. It may be a simple operation expression if you see only one part. However, the potential could go beyond our imagination if you use it with others in a good combination. It may be the origin of creation and I appreciate I am on the stage which was arranged by our ancestor’s efforts.

Often, I encounter the script which works well and wisely but I cannot understand why or how it works. I am a little bit ashamed of saying this. But, for example from basic, why can the variables hold the value? The deeper of the basic I search, the more I come to realize I have to learn the world of zero and one. Whenever I do so, it reminds me it is impossible for only one person to see everything. That is why I think we have to borrow the great wisdom from our ancestors especially for IT works. If you forget it, you may lose your way in scripts-maze.

This may be my personal opinion but as the beginner of programer, I could tell it is the nearest way to consider your way from your goal. And, that is Catch Word, which could be the goal of your IT works. Once you catch it, don’t miss it with Catch Questions.

Now, let me show you how to use Catch Questions.

First, set your goal of the program you work on and add Questions of scripts to it. Pictures of those you discovered on textbook or internet should be took and you can chain them to your questions. On the other hand, I would not recommend you to type the full script you like even though Catch Questions can save letters as well. The key word of script which can be searched on internet later should be saved on Catch Questions. Catch Questions is intended to be used to help your memory on the brain. And, your brain prefere the key word to the full sentence. How the script works would be fine to be saved on Catch Questions with simple words.

Here is the example of how to save them.

Catch1. Display Data

-     Question1. UIAlertController

memo: useful to show various messages in several situations

-     Question2. ViewWillAppear

memo: works whenever called instead of ViewDidload

-     Question3. UItoolBar

memo: a lot of buttons can be displayed easily on line

-     Question4. NSUserDefault

memo: the variable can hold the value

Catch2. Record Function

-     Question1. UIPickerView

memo: can be used as File Manager

-     Question2. PathForDirectoriesInDomains

memo: record file is located on the path

-     Question3. AVAudioRecorder+Player

memo: necessary for record and play

Catch3. Picture Control

-     Question1. PickerController Camera

memo: catch pictures from Camera

-     Question2. PickerController PhotoLibrary

memo: catch pictures from Library

In this way, it is the time when you stock enough of your questions, that the function of voice record shows its potential role. As you know, the purpose of this homepage is your creation. So, I recommend you to speak something while watching your collection of scripts and to record your voice message. Once you write your idea down on paper immediately, it becomes difficult to shift your point of view to another. It is too logical on writing to come up with your novel idea especially at the beginning stage. That is why I hope you to review the possibility of voice message. I believe your voice message could catch your strange but unique idea like a dream.

I sometimes see a genius programmer on TV drama or movie who remember all the scripts on world and can type them without any mistake. But, is this kind of ability really necessary nowadays? I would borrow the open source and consider the convention of them to work efficiently. (Sure, I have to learn a basic security, though.) I think it is not cheating to borrow the wisdom of our ancestors only if you feed it back with your little idea. This knowledge communication could contribute to make the better world. And I wish I could give this back with Catch Questions.

I am proud of human ability of guessing  the catched questions.

IT words study with Catch Questions

Take a look if you are researcher!

In this chapter, I would like to show the usage of Catch Questions for those who works as researcher. As for the term of research, I see it is categorized into various jobs such as food, medicine, car or house. On the other hand, the academic major of mathematics, biology or economics are all based on some researches so not only adults who actually works but also students would be so-called researcher if they are in duty of some study. Whatever they really are, I appreciate if I could support those who try to produce something new in the world.

Through my current job, I lucky have many chances to meet some researchers and see their hard work by my eyes and feel the importance in our lives. From laboratory researcher who do experiment with a flask, dedicated doctor who try to produce brand new equipment for medical device to professor who works hard with his students to discover the new theory, it may be difficult to just say it is the job of research. However, whatever the research is, I believe there are some necessary factors to continue research. So, what do you think they are? (This kind of questions could be the one of titles for Catch Questions.) There may be a lot of opinions but from my point of views, I would say Vision, Patience and Adventure spirit. From these factors, the vision is what Catch Questions may support.

Solid vision of yours would be the base of your research so the out of focus eventually could results in you lose your purpose and have to end your precious work without any evaluation from others. Such a important vision could be reviewed with the Catch Word of this App.

Yes, the Catch Word could be your vision as well as the goal title of your research. And after that, you add your continuous questions to it. Let me show you an example. In case of cat research, you can set natural instinct of cat as the Catch Word. Then, you can add Q1: Why are they playful with toy?, Q2: Are they really satisfied with it?, Q3: The younger, the more playful? Now, you can note your subject like this.

You may say a pen and notes may be enough to do only this. Why does it have to be iPhone? Your answer is correct if you do only this. That is why I hope you to review the capability of picture and record. iPhone can combine various media system into one by using App. Besides, for people nowadays, it is said that they bring rather smart phone to go out than a pen and notes. Next, let me show you the example of how to apply the functions to your study.

1.      Utility Picture

For research purpose, you have to read many papers at first. You can have them from some publisher or internet such as pub med. I also read a lot of papers in my life and realize most of what the author want to tell are often condensed into “fig” or “table”. This kind of charts contribute to review the paper in our mind. Visual image are in the end, easy to bring and keep your memory. The question of Catch Questions can keep the picture and you can review them repeatedly. If you feel some inspiration about the paper you read, please catch the picture like this. Not only papers but also your hand writing memo also becomes the picture of your collection. It is often said that your first idea could be the best for your research. Before you dispose of your idea’s memo, why don’t Catch Questions keep it as your creation?

2.      Utility Record

One of the attractive points about record function is it can save your live voice with your emotional expression. The live voice is difficult to be kept in your mind only by letters. Even if it is by handwriting, the thing is same. And the emotional motivation could be the element of your research. The other attractive point is it does not fix your free idea so much and you sometimes make mistake while saying something repeatedly. Are you afraid of the mistake?  No, you shouldn’t. I would rather say it is your creation. Brand new idea always comes with the difference between your knowledge and your output. Once you write down your original idea, it is difficult to make a different point of view so I would recommend you to keep your original answer at the beginning you start something with your voice recorder. In this way, your idea could expand freely and could be the origin of genius creation.

For your best research!

How to study your presentations skill in Catch Questions

Presentation skill is necessary for any business person. You may imagine you have to go on stage, have a microphone, show some slides of Power Point or Keynote and make a speech of the future like Steve Jobs. But I mean it includes any small scale one. For example, the daily work of sales rep for selling, making a comment at business meeting and job interview with supervisor are all what is called presentation.

This kind of skill is basically and strongly related with your performance evaluation and may contribute to your promotion or good salary and your wealthy life. On the other hand, it is hard to learn in school. Of course, in some advanced countries like United States, it is popular to make a debate discussion in particular universities. But, I think the natural skill is not achieved in school but mostly in your daily life. And it has to be improved by yourself to be genuine. From my personal experience, somehow those who are doing poorly in school but have many friends tend to make an excellent presentation.

While I mention this, I have to admit it is very difficult to confirm which presentation is objectively and truly excellent one. In the end, it depends on the personal view of audience. In addition to telling things, moving audience by hart is required for professional. Those who have many friends are the living evidence of capturing friend’s harts so it may be natural that their performances are popular.

Catch Questions may not be needed for these guys with the natural presentation skill. It is rather intended to be used for someone without it. And I would like to support those who are not good at presentation but dedicated and enthusiastic. These kind of people often have the particular genius ability but lose the chance of promotion only because of the lack of presentation skill. I actually have seen friends of mine like this in my life.

It is true that one’s looks, the introduction before presentation or the direction of light up or stage decoration are sometimes counted for good presentation factors. So, I don’t say it is enough if you use Catch Questions. But at least, Catch Questions would like to support you as far as it can. So, I hope you to use it as one of your favorite App.

Now, let me show how to use Catch Questions for the training.

1.      Set your situation of your presentation

The Catch word can be the title of the situation. For example, Job interview, sales work or meeting of some research, any situation would be fine to connect your questions.

2.      Add potential questions to the catch word

In particular situation, there are frequent and typical and questions. These kinds of questions should be added to your catch word. If you would like to practice using Power Point or Keynote, I would recommend you to add a question one slide by one.

Later, you can change the order as you wish.

3.      Now, start your practice

After you make enough questions, start your practice. It is hard to move someone by hart without genuine words of your own. Those who talk a lot with friends naturally achieve these words but who not would be recommended to practice with your questions. In Catch Questions, your questions can show up randomly and the sudden question sometimes will discover your true words. So, record them and listen to them carefully. You can also adjust your question rate so that you can practice with your weak question. This will enable you to practice efficiently.

4.      Use your pictures

You can set one picture by one question. You can make a screen shot from Internet or take picture from your slide of Power Point or Keynote. A fearful face of your supervisor or your memorable handwriting can also be a picture of Catch Questions. The point is to practice seeing the image, not seeing the sentence. Your own words become vivid in this way.

5.      BBS of Catch Questions

The original bulletin board system is provided in Catch Questions. Here, you can meet a question of your friend. Your question may be answered by them. And, you can also download your favorite question into your iPhone.

Presentation Practice with Catch Questions

English Speaking Study for example

One of the most recommended ways to use Catch Questions is learning foreign language. Of course, you can learn your first language by using Catch Questions. It is intended to be used for studying any language. As Japanese, I wanted to some App like this for studying English when I was student but there was no App that I really wanted at that time. So that is why I came up with the idea that I should make the App someday by my self.

The language skill is generally categorized as Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. But, what is the most weak point for us to learn foreign language? For Japanese, it was thought to be that studying Speaking is the most difficult. There may be some reason of our culture and country back ground about this problem. For example, there is little opportunity to meet foreigner in Japan or almost no chance to use foreign language except through Internet. I have studied English at least for 20 years but I still fell the weak point to tell the truth. Many of Japanese who never lived in foreign country like me might feel it as I.

However, for my opinion, I think the most important problem is the educational structure of ours. I mean in typical educational school, students are being scored by some test to evaluate who is superior or not. How about your country? And, it is difficult to score someone’s speaking skill. For positive point of the view, without the evaluation of speaking skill, it may become a equal examination for anybody because it is easily affected by personal judgement. On the other hand, if we continue this education, the adults who cannot speak well will definitely increase.

Then, how important is the speaking skill for us? Most of adults at least in Japan may see it is not so important because of the educational background. However, in these 4 skills of language, which one did you acquire at first from your birth? Is there any baby who cannot speak but can listen, read or write?  I have to admit the speaking skill is the most fundamental from them. And, why I mentioned this so much is that most of our creative idea comes with speaking. You may not do oral speaking but at least you speak something in your mind when you come up with some unique idea. So, that is why I hope you to review the importance of speaking skill. I actually came up with the idea of Catch Questions by continuing speaking in my mind. If you acquire several languages, the potential will doubled or tripled.

Now, let me show you how to study speaking on Catch Questions. First of all, don’t speak by rote. While speaking, I recommend you not to see the sentence but to see the image. Some keywords to increase your idea may be acceptable but the sentence of your mind will decrease your creative speech. Who speaks your first language seeing some sentence in your ordinary communication? In addition, human memory with some image tend to be stronger in your mind than with some sentence. You may afraid of some errors while speaking but I believe the error or the different expression is always the origin of your creation. I would like you to record the creation with Catch Questions.

From the repeat study of speaking like this, you will acquire your own words from various language. And, the more you learn languages, the more chance you will get for your life.

Hope to see your creative speech!

iPhone APP Catch Questions now for speaking

When I was a child, I liked a lot of riddles. They were always something new to me and sounded like magic. The more difficult to solve they were, the more I was interested in. I still remember the joy of solution in my childhood. And now, I would like to share the joy for educational purpose. For my App, I named it as “Catch Questions”. In English, the name may include the bad image which is usually made in some examination from a stubborn teacher. But, please don’t worry! My intention is more positive usage. I just chose the title because it sounds like a “cat” of my favorite animal.

Anyway, Whatever the examination, the research, the study or the training is, I recommend you to use some unique riddle. The more tricky it is, it will stick around your brain. And, you will think the subject deeply and sometimes discover your own goal as I created this App. I hope my App to be useful for your creation, especially for your study of foreign language, presentation speech, academic research, programing and music composition.

Catch Questions are made according to 5 concepts for efficient brain memory.

Let me show them as follow;

1.      Repeat Practice

Repeat Practice is a basic way to remember something. However, the important point is that you have to repeat your practice at the timing you almost forget. In Catch Questions, you can set your own question rate for repeat practice. So, you can focus on your weak point of some subject by increasing the rate. It will enable you to study anything easily and efficiently.

2.      Chain Memory

If you have several questions for same kind topic, I recommend you to connect them. One of unique features of my App is you can set “Catch Word” as the title. This will enable you to associate your questions and answers.

3.      View Image

Human memory gets strong as the subject becomes brilliant and bright. It is impossible to remember everything by using only letters or numbers. So, what should we use? Why don’t you use your album collection of pictures. If you are emotionally moved while you are learning something, your memory may produce the origin of creation.

4. Creative Speech

The goal of Catch Questions is creation. Not by rote, please pull spontaneously and gradually your precious memory with your unique idea. That is the way to discover your inspiration. To do this , I recommend you to speak naturally to your self and record your speech. Catch Questions can record your speech. For out put skill, speaking makes more errors with some sudden questions than writing but your truly intention, hope and dream are hidden in their errors. So, listen to your honest comment of your heart with your catch questions.

5. Social Incentive

Finally, what the most important part is your motivation for doing anything. It is very difficult to continue something solely and it is very lonely if nobody see your work. Catch Questions provides unique community through its BBS. In this BBS, you can share your questions. Someone with your same vision may answer your question. And not only this but also you can download your friend’s question and answer in your iPhone easily. You can catch various questions here.
