<p>I’m in my last semester of the bachelor’s degree “Software Development and Business Management” and trying to improve my skills and experience.<br> I’m interested in your idea for the redesign of the pocket code landing page.<br> I’m interested in Catrobat, as I’ve already got to know the project and support your philosophy and goals.<br> This idea appeals to me as I’m interested in usability and design and working on this project will bring me further into android development. I’m eager to learn new skills and additionally support an open source project.</p>

<p>Modularize Pocket Code so that we end up with one separate module for each the IDE and the Interpreter.</p> <p>In Pocket Code the IDE is seen as the interface for Creating/Editing Projects, as well as the Pocket Code Community. The Interpreter is responsible for interpreting and executing Catrobat projects. So basically that’s where the action happens. The user created App gets executed in this module. This inclueds a planning of interfaces to communicate in a more generic way.</p>
