Day 5 – Conditions
Today actually took three days to finish. I’m going very slow at this point, but I’m writing out what I’m learning to try and cement it in my mind.

Playing with an idea
I’ve been thinking about the app I’d like to build, and using the little bit of knowledge I’ve gained from the first four days of the Learning with Swift UI course (I can never quite remember the exact name, but if you’re following along you’ll know what I’m talking about). At it’s most basic I…

Day 4 – Type annotations and recap
Day four has been fantastic. I’ve gone through and recapped what I learned and got a sense of how data annotation are useful. Now it’s onto Checkpoint 2. Checkpoint 2 Here’s how far I got without help: After watching the hint I think I need to come back to this tomorrow. What I THINK I’ll…

Day 3 – Arrays and dictionaries
100 Days of SwiftUI: Day 3 Phew. Today was a doozy. I started the day by finishing up stuff from Day 2, which was great for a refresher. I then dove into understanding how to store data in arrays and dictionaries. I’m going painfully slow, because I’m writing out notes of the things I learn…

Connecting data to a button
I just finished watching a fantastic video on combining Core Data with SwiftUI. For the first time I THINK I get it, and see how all the pieces connect. I’ve just digested for today, and will likely need to really try this next week; but with the 4th of July coming up, I’m going to…

A break
Taking a break today from coding. Recorded two podcasts and that took up my personal time. But I’ll be excited to be back at it soon; I hope? Curious what this break will do for me mentally.

Volumes and windows
I’ve been listening to a number of podcasts from iOS developers, and trying to gauge how others are thinking about visionOS and what developing for it might entail. There are three basic ways we can think of designing apps for this new space. We have volumes, windows, and spaces. As I’ve heard people describe each,…
