Josh's Swift Journey

Here we go! A bit of time on a Friday afternoon, which is kind of rare! I'm continuing with the Swift UI course, which has been technical, tricky but interesting so far. I need to then map out a plan with Swift as I feel like I'm a bit directionless. Having said that, SwiftUI is still NEW. There isn't a huge amount out there so it's hard to look up stuff. So maybe I'm being hard on myself. Anyway, let's go... Start Time - 15:53 So this is all about modifiers. How you can change font, size, colours etc. So dark mode - this changes the foreground/background colour. Live rendering - great to see updates as you go basically. Text component is a lot easier to use than UI Label. It is cool how it is coded and you see how it looks straight away. The bit about groups I didn't get. There is an additional bit about dark mode, which I'm going to have a look at shortly. Paused at 16:06 Restart at 16:32 https://www.raywenderlich.com/5220-dynamic-type ...

So here we go! The last part of Nick's course. It's been a really useful 'refresher'. Having missed a month's worth of coding, and to be honest before that, I hadn't really touched on those concepts of late, it was much needed! I think it's healthy to go over the core concepts, especially when there have been updates to Swifts. I always glean useful things or had forgotten certain elements. The coding challenge at the end of the Intermediate Swift Chapter was soooo hard but I learned from it. Last part - Xcode app. Only several lessons ago so will probably be pretty basic. Still worth doing! Start Time - 18:33 Labels Just a walkthrough of the main view screen etc. Reminders of the device type affects screen size. Matching up the screen on Xcode to what you will view on for sanity's sake! Outlets Under Super.ViewDidLoad - this is separate to the main code on the view controller. view . backgroundColor = . red OK, maybe it's a Swift 5...
