Time to changes degrees

Today I was watching a video http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=dU1xS07N-FA&feature=youtu.be&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DdU1xS07N-FA%26feature%3Dyoutu.be all about coding and how computers and technology are taking over the world. My first thought was why am I doing coaching and exercise science at university rather than IT or something computer based? I'm trying to break into a world to get a job in an area that isn't of the highest demand when I could have done IT and got a job in seconds by the sounds of this video. Well then I thought because this interests me and that's what really matters why do something in life if you don't have any interest in it?

My thought process then changed, I was curious to understand how I can start coding something myself. Well firstly I need to start off with the basics so I am going to ask a friend from work who did do IT at uni where to start from.

The big in thing atm are apps for phones and tablets. The next thing I need is an idea. Now my idea that I'm thinking is a program somewhat like easy tag dart fish. This is a simple app that can be used for coding anything. I have previously used it for coding what happens when the ball enters the attacking 50m in AFL games. But I found the program hard to set up and not good when mistakes were made. Also i found when try to out put the code to excel or any other program's didn't produce a readable document so pretty much you were stuck with a coded game on your device that couldn't then be used on a computer.

So my idea is to make  an app that allows users to be able to code games easily, be able to fix mistakes and then the app be able to easily produce tables and graphs inside the app and on excel or other spreadsheet program's. This simple app could change performance analysis for the better it would make coding so much quicker and easier than it has ever been previously. Hopefully this idea comes off the ground as I think it could really help coaches with their objective feedback and maybe make me a few dollars whilst I'm at it.

Thanks again for reading
