I’ve been using Big Sur for about a week and it took me until today to realize that I didn’t like the way the new mail looks and feels. Which probably means that I haven’t been checking my email for that week. 👨🏾‍💻

100 Days of SwiftUI – Day 31 – Hacking with Swift

The apps continue to show more and more of what I can do in Swift and I’m really enjoying the feeling of getting through the challenges.

Obviously I want to get you towards SwiftUI greatness as fast and effectively as possible, but that takes a lot of consistency from you. To be fair, it is already day 31 and you keep coming back, so you’re fulfilling your part of the deal – well done!

What I liked about this particular app is that I had an opportunity to go back to an older project and cherry pick things from that to make this one better. With more experience and understanding, I really reinforced what I was learning.

Day 10: Energy

I wonder how many people are going to use pictures of ☕️ or tea for today’s challenge.

100 Days of SwiftUI – Day 30 – Hacking with Swift

For today’s activity, I started it in the afternoon after a long day. I spent too much time looking up keyboard short cuts to get the Xcode preview to start (command+option+p).

Here are some good links.

After I got that out of my system, I was able to start focusing on the task at hand.

Yes, there will be a fair chunk of practice here, and yes, hopefully this will be an easy project for you. But that shouldn’t stop you from tackling it with gusto – give it your best shot!

After spending 5 minutes with that, I got even more in the weeds and made a video to show something cool with the mini map in Xcode.

Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. Here is a link to the video.

Then I settled in and made a really cool app with Paul. It’s exciting to see how all the little pieces come together to make something a lot more.

I think this is a great take away. Learning that these things can be broken into smaller pieces and accomplished.

Day 9: Muddy

The sprinkler system at my apartment complex does quite work.

I’m ready for my close up!

I’ve been attempting to do 100 push-ups a day for this month. I break it into sets of 10 and do it on the hour. If I miss a set, I got to make it up on the next hour. Carrot and stick approach.

Beautiful article via The Loop to the site called cake.

Certainly interesting to hear another take on Steve Jobs.

100 Days of SwiftUI – Day 29 – Hacking with Swift

A lot of people have mixed feelings about Monday’s. For me, I look at them with gratitude that I’m still employed. After this last weekend, I’m just happy that I don’t have to think about that disaster called a super bowl and can get back to “Hacking with Swift”!

Imagine my surprise to see this as the first line of today’s activity!

It’s time for another new project, and this is actually the last easy project we have on this course – after this the difficulty level ramps up a little as we tackle bigger apps, so enjoy this while it lasts!

The last couple of projects have really started to dive into some of the frameworks and just hope that I’ve given myslef enough time to really let the lessons stick in my brain as I move forward.

This lesson was kind of fun in that it reminded me that Swift and SwiftUI still takes a lot of utilities from the UIKit. On the shoulders of giants, indeed.

Day 8: Hope

I hope that I can open this one day.
