RayWenderlich.com Layout in IOS Course - Part 4

Here we go! So the course is split into Swift UKit. Interface builder. Let's do this!

Start Time - 20:32

Introduction

About half an hour tonight I reckon.

Translates masks into constraints - apparently this is the option to use.

So the whole point of Auto Layout is so you can fit onto any device.

Stack views are coming here too.

Autoresizing

Fixed attribute will not change.

OK, a key point here is that the content is all on an older Xcode - Xcode 11. So the features are all quite different. Trying to follow along still!

Ok, can't even find size inspector! No point doing this on this earlier version of Xcode. So skimming through instead.

I get the concept of all of this. The use of constraints etc.

Autoresizing mask - flexibilities. All of the different options!

Stack Views

OK I've found some of the main views again! Out of practice with Swift UIKit!

Stack view is non-rendering. That means non visible. Not even a background.

Spacing is an attribute for the stack views. Alignment shows how they should be arranged - centrally or at the top etc.

Cool, all the stack view makes sense so far. It is great for using multiple objects that you want lined up and spaced out neatly.

Challenge

This is what I need to make! Last thing for now!



Here's what I made - two stack views! I changed the text to make it more interesting.



Finish Time - 21:10 (38 minutes total)

 Some good stuff here. Although the layout on Xcode is different, I can still play around with the values and options.

*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...
