Angela Yu Xcode 2012 Course - Part 3 (lectures 29 to 43)

Well, I am so glad that I'm going back through Angela's course. On my 'STICKY' list of entries and breakdown, I'm now on 'Stage 5' - by that, I have learned some of the Intermediate-level content, and made a couple of my own apps without the course guidance. The aim for Stage 5 is to complete Angela's course in its entirety - the best course on Udemy and the web in general! After that, Stage 6 will be something more advanced, with more of my own apps being created from scratch. So this stage could well take a month or so. Or more - that's fine!

Start Time - 19:04

Sideloading

Basically here's everything I need to do for getting an app onto my phone:


I've done all this before - no problem.


Basically don't click deny! Click ALWAYS ALLOW!

Wireless connection

An extra lesson - recent one! Done this before.

How to get Professional App Dev Account

 https://developer.apple.com/programs/ 

 Information on the website above to sign up for the full programme. Another time of course!

 I've just described to the App Brewery Newsletter. 

 Coding Challenges

 Yes I want to do these!!

 *Approx 10 mins pause 

 OK so the next challenge I am NOT going to do. That would be fruitless and pointless really. I HAVE come a long way in 6 months so should not need to even think about coding alongside the challenge. Just skimming through!

 A good point here is making a to do list - Ray's tip from before that I have honoured him with! - to show EVERYTHING needed for that app. 

 Github - a place to share code where different people can work on code. SO Angela has built skeleton projects that we can get from GitHub. SO download Zip File then unzip etc. 

 I see why she does this - much easier to have all of the files on this than attaching each of them to the Udemy site. 

 Intro to Dicee App

 Again, not going to code alongside as I am confident with the concepts covered here. 

 Finish Time - 19:41 (30 minutes total approx)

 Right that's all we have time for! Not as long a session today but really useful again! At some point, I will do a 'consolidation' entry to sum up the last few. All good!

*Xcode Project Entry 2* F1 Quiz - part 1

Image
It's Christmas Eve and time to code! To think, a year ago, I was plodding along with some eBook, blindly convincing myself that I was on a steady road to coding greatness. Really, it was from June where I made the decision to start again, humbling as that may seem. It would have been comforting to have completed endless 'beginner' courses but branching out and applying the theory is the key thing, which brings us to this entry. Yes, my second Xcode OWN project! I thought about doing an educational one, as there is certainly a lot of scope and relevance for that, being a teacher and all. However, making a quiz makes sense, for various reasons.  First off, I have made this before through Angela's excellent tutorial. No offence to Sandra, but hers is not even close to the elegance and effectiveness of Angela's project. The one thing to take from Sandra is the stack views. Definitely something I will use from now on. This is one of the great things about learning from...

Angela Yu Course Part 10 (up to lesson 112)

It's unlikely that I'll be able to do any Swift tomorrow as I'm going to Eastbourne today, for the weekend. So I can give half an hour now, maximum! Coding Challenge - Destini App! Choose your own adventure books! I used to ADORE these. Angela explains that these have had some sort of revival through the Lifeline games. It's very binary - yes/no mostly. I have my own experience of this based on WDC... Now the challenge is to complete the game! Having followed the first few instructions, which I found a bit confusing it must be said, I was about to surrender and see the answer. Then I managed to stop myself - I CAN do this, or at least have a good go! Even if I don't get the correct answer, it will be good practice to put what I know into practice. This is my weakness, which I keep coming back to - that when some problem solving is required, I fold far too quickly. So here is what I need to do: Let's break this down... I need to use the...

Angela Yu Xcode 12 Course - Part 7 (lectures 74 to 79)

No time to waste! Only got a short amount of time now so going to get a few minutes or so in! Start Time - 20:14 Conditionals If statement for 'love calculator' example. So a simple example for this. The idea will be that conditionals are used to show that the print statement will do it differently for whatever the number is. With updated Swift, I would use the Int.random(0...100). Easy fix that would be. Also no UIInt32 needed but just an Int. So with the if statements, it would be a STRING being returned.   Linked to the whole choose your own adventure - if/else for each choice. BMI Challenge No need to do this - easy enough to be honest. Just skimming through. BODMAS principles... So something I picked up on before is not needing the greater than AND less than value for the middle line (for the else if bmi > 18.5) A better solution, which Angela is already explaining before I could say it is returning a string instead of a Double. So the...
