Challenge Overview
INTRODUCTION
This is the first in a series of challenges to develop an iPhone app for Cardinal Health which allows users to virtually fill a “change jar” with ideas of changes they will make in their lives, or in the lives of someone they know. This challenge will focus on developing prototype functionality based off of the provided designs. Web services will be integrated in a future challenge.
REQUIREMENTS
