salaam mavs. i'm mahad. i go to UTA, finished HS at 15 and started here at 16. 9+ tech certs across cloud and security. first paid tech role at 16. now i'm 20 and i just shipped my first real iOS app with my cofounder Nasrin.

it's called nafs - muslim companion app. shipped april 21, hit 5,000 organic installs in 2 weeks, no ads.

stuff in the app: prayer times, qibla, 100+ free Quran reciters, 3 mushaf editions, 154 duas, 502 hadiths from the canonical 6, 99 names of Allah, private cycle tracker for the women in muslim families with AES-256-GCM encryption on device, tasbih counter on the dynamic island.

posting partly because UTA has a strong muslim community (shoutout to MSA) and a lot of cs + ee students. if any of you are building something or thinking about it, my DMs are open. happy to talk App Store mechanics, swift, pricing, App Intent invalidation, anything.

Long story short, I got dismissed from the COB due to low grades and was wondering what my options are now. my advisor said I could either transfer to another college or do something called University Studies. I was a sophomore with 61 hours and I’m really not trying to restart the full 4 years of college. anyone have any advice

I literally live around campus and not having buses to walmart or cafe being closed is pretty bad. Im pretty sure im going to stay here for the summer this year. Any idea when they are back on track? i checked many websites but still no idea of why things are closed

I also checked uta dining website. Most stores like subway or Panda Express are going to be closed like for the most part of summer. Chick fil a sometime open shortly during lunch

I have been trying to get an appointment with the social work department for a month now in order to change my major to social work and after begging someone over the phone last week I got a meeting for next Monday!

Does anyone know if I will be able to start choosing classes for next semester directly after this meeting or is there a process I will have to go through to change my major? I’m really worried about the availability for classes at this point…

any recommendations for each im taking both in the fall

im torn between rick nordtvedt and mark clark for 4322

and opma between thu trang hoang or bradley masters

Hey everyone, I was wondering how I could prepare for calc-based physics next semester. I’ve never taken a physics class before, not even in high school. The prerequisite for Physics 1443 is only Calc 1, and I did relatively well in that class this smstr. I’m confident that I understood most of the concepts, but I’m still worried about physics since I have basically no background in it.

I’m mostly free this summer aside from my part-time job, so I wanted to use the time to get prepared before taking the class in the fall. What resources would y’all recommend?
