I'm starting my journey in computer programming and I'm keen to jump straight into building an app for a project at work. Given my background as a cattle veterinarian focusing on advanced reproductive techniques, I aim to create an app that helps track and manage embryo implantation data. The app should allow farmers to create profiles with their details, input implantation dates, scanning dates, animal tag numbers, and pregnancy confirmations. It's crucial that this data syncs to the cloud, so we can access it or have it exported as a CSV or spreadsheet. I have no prior experience in app development, so I'm looking for guidance on which skills and resources to prioritize to bring this idea to fruition!

Your idea is definitely doable, but it's not as simple as it sounds. The real challenge comes from features like user accounts, ensuring reliable data syncing, and handling real-world data input. Start small—maybe with a form that connects to a database and can export to CSV—before trying to create a full mobile app. That way, you can build it in manageable steps and learn as you go.
