Over the past two semesters, I successfully created a diverse array of apps, including a calculator, calendar, notes, alarm, and maps application. While I prioritized functionality over graphical aesthetics, opting to utilize the native GUI of Mac systems, I found that ChatGPT adeptly executed instructions, even from individuals lacking coding experience. Employing Thonny as my IDE and Python as the coding language facilitated development and experimentation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image44593_3258f7-b2\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/04\/Picture3.png\" alt=\"Alarm App\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-44616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/04\/Picture3.png 624w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/04\/Picture3-565x500.png 565w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image44593_5aa1ee-79\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/04\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"Calculator App\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-44613\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout this journey, ChatGPT emerged as a valuable ally, assisting with troubleshooting issues, and bolstering my confidence in the accessibility of app development for non-coders.
