Sup!

Swift Slowly: Day 32 & 33 - Hacking Swift 17 & 18

Power was out for two days and the this was one of the first things that I did1! It felt great to get back into the swing of things. I also took the quiz that is associated with the application and scored 12 out of 12!

Tomorrow is Challenge day for this project, so I’m going to use the time that I have tonight to go over some of the previous days and to check out Paul Hudson’s video on 5 Steps to Better SwiftUI Views.

We’ve been without power since Tuesday. I’m using the power from a near by laundry room to charge my UPS. It’s like a scene from “The secret of NIMH”.

Power has been out since yesterday. So I guess my streak of programming every day has come to and end.

Swift Slowly: Day 31 - Hacking Swift 16

Day 16! Starting the first project after a long day of work. Part of me wants to just veg, but I’ve wanted this too long!

100 Days of SwiftUI – Day 16 – Hacking with Swift:

Today is the project overview day, which is where we’ll be looking at the isolated pieces of code that you need to understand in order to build our project. Tomorrow we’ll move on to the implementation day, where you’ll put those new techniques into practice with our app.
Xcode main window

My mind was kind of blown when I saw the line following line:

Var body: some View 

The tutorial says that it’s a computed property and I never thought twice about it or what it really meant until this point. I felt that way throughout the entire day when working with this tutorial.

I almost didn’t stop, but I know that it’s a marathon and not a sprint.

Swift Slowly: Day 30 - Hacking Swift 15

I’m posting this for hacking with swift 14 & 15.

Tomorrow, I start the first project and I’m very excited!

Wish me luck!

Swift Slowly: Day 29 - Hacking Swift 13

Review day!! I’m using this time to go over the basic types again.

Swift Slowly: Day 28 - Hacking Swift 12

The neighbors were up arguing from 3-5 in the morning and it woke the whole family up. I’m having trouble focusing, but I wanted to get started with learning about optionals today.

This is the last section of 100 days of SwifUI that contains quizzes so I’m pretty excited about what happens after this.

I want to praise CodeRunner again for its excellent tool tips when code is incorrect.

Error in code runner.

Xcode also does a good job of keeping it compact and then letting you expand the dialog and allowing you to fix it by clicking one of the buttons.

Error in Xcode.

Swift Slowly: Day 27 - Hacking Swift 11

I’m up past midnight and thought that programming is probably the best thing to do.

So tonight/today, I’m learning about Protocols and extensions.

When it came to extensions, I think I learned just as much about the once that I got wrong as the ones that I got correct.

Three wrong answers in a row

Learning to knit 🧶

The beginning of a scarf?

Wow, you would think that something like this wouldn’t be allowed to be entered. And yes, I see that the validation triggers!

Invalid dates in dropdowns.
