Ray Wenderlich Course - Second SwiftUI App Part 2 (and final - abandoned after this!)

Two days in a row, baby! Back to this confusing, but useful in places course.  I have around 40 minutes so enough time for a whole chapter possibly. 

 Start Time - 17:15

We will use the above to add and delete tasks. A different view for new task?

New Task View

Here we go! Straight into a challenge...

Well this was hard of course! To be fair, I'm still getting used to SwiftUI so good practice...

Modal Views

You have a + button in the upper right.

var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List(taskStore.tasks) { task in
                Text(task.name)
                       
            }
        .navigationBarTitle("Tasks")
            .navigationBarItems (
                trailing:
                Button(action: {}) {
                    Image(systemName: "plus")
            
                
            }
            )
        }
    }

}

Again, complicated code!

Adding To Your Model

Definitely going to have to review this stuff at the end and in my next practice stuff!

We need a form. A form acts as a container to group views together.

*Time to abandon course!

This course is just riddled with errors. I have no idea why. Have tried everything and none of the comments are enlightening; I very much doubt that posting a comment will help! So there is no point continuing - the content was poorly explained and no offence to Jessy, but I do not rate him as an instructor.

What I am going to do instead is choose a project - let's go for HowManyWords - and try putting that together in SwiftUI. It will take some time but be fun!

Finish Time (course abandoned!) - 17:52 (37 minutes total)

*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...
