ejemplo de escanear un
texto es cuando buscas un
mimero en Ja gnia

duseas una palabra en el diccionario. Esti claro que no leeris todo para encontrar la
definicién que estés buscando.
El scanner de un texto resulta muy dtil cuando necesitas encontrar informacién
especifiea que ya conoces de antemano y no tienes tiempo de leerlo todo. Es decir que es
un inétodo se utiliza cuando sabes previameute que estis buscando.
Para escanear un texto lo que debes hacer es mover los ojos ripidamente en la pagina a fin
de encontiar ese dato particular que se esta buscando. Se trata mas que nada de ia “ayuda
de localizacién”para buscar cifras, fechas o frases clave
Para localizar una respuesta mientras escaneas un texto debes identificar en que parrafos
puede encontrarse esa respuesta. Por ejemplo, si lo que buscas es ma fecha y ves
rapidamente que ea un pérrafo no hay niimeros, entonces esta claro que ahi no estara, Fijate
también en lo que dicen los encabezados: las primeras oraciones te darn una idea de
qué se est hablando, y es probable que si aplicas el skimming puedas determinar si abi

Como con todas las téenicas de lectura, tanto el scanner como el skimming te resultarin
unis efectivas cuanto muds las practiqnes, Y recuerda que pueden resulta muy provechosas
para el repaso de lo estudiado, pero no eximen de leer el material completo.READING 2
INTRODUCTION TO APP DEVELOPME!
One of the more popular
forms of coding in recent
times is the creation of
applications, or apps, that
run on mobile devices
like phones and tablets.
You probably use a range
of different apps in your
everyday life. Wouldn't it
be cool to create one of
your own?
There are many perks of
being a developer in the
booming app industry. Quite a few people make a good living developing and selling apps,
and you have the opportunity to be one of them. You could even become the next Nick
D’Aloisio, who famously sold his iPhone app, Summly, to Yahoo! for $30m. Plus, it’s the
best way to get your work into people’s pockets!
App Development Overview
Mobile apps are developed for a certain platform, and the two most popular platforms today
are iOS and Android
The iOS platform powers apps built for Phone and iPad. To develop an app for iPhone o:
iPad, you need to use the Objective-C coding language and the Cocoa framework. You also
need to use an IDE (integrated development environment) called Xeode, Note that Xeode
only runs on the Mae, so you will need a Mac to make an iOS app.
Android apps are developed with the Java coding language and the Android Software
Development Kit, which runs on Mac, PC or Linux. You also need to use an IDE such as
EclipseThere are other mobile platforms such as Windows Phone, but iOS and Android are
definitely the most popular. Most training focuses on these platforms.
Ways to Learn App Development
If you want to develop iPhone and iPad apps, one place where you can lea is the iOS Dev
Center. This is a free online resource provided by Apple, which contains starter guides,
tutorials, videos and documentation.
For Android app development, the equivalent resource is the Android Developers Training.
This training is a series of articles that walks you through how to make your first app,
starting with the basics
In addition to these official resources, you may also want to try other training. You may
find that books and online taining are more digestible and understandable.
Online Training
‘Aside fiom the official resourees, there is plenty of unofficial app development training on
‘the Intemet. If you are totally new to coding, mobile app development may not be the best
place to start. It’s better to start by leaming web coding, which is much more beginner-
friendly. Then, when you do graduate to app development, you'll have a solid
understanding of coding basies
