Josh's Swift Journey

It's been a good week for coding! Another hour today and I'll be smashing my targets! A positive if frustrating session before; I ended up adding a bit more after finishing the last blog, so the app has evolved a little since then. I fell into a hurdle after moving around the button with one of the labels - couldn't figure out why so put things back again. Anyway, today, the focus is on trying to fix that final bit of the view, then creating the Model, then the Controller - well at least half of the latter! Start Time - 18:28 Right, fixed!

Using Interfaces with SwiftUI This is all about getting the layout done. So probably will just be on this chapter for now. Phone resolution guide  - use to figure out differences between screen sizes. Number of pixels - only important for designers. Developers work in points! Cool, some good bits about getting to landscape, changing the view on Xcode. All good. But only around 20 minutes left and have barely started this chapter. SwiftUI Views Stuff about views. We need four rows of views on a v stack. Side by side for the children views. H stack views within the V stack container. Cool! I love the whole stack, then adding the text. This is much better than adding the various labels.... so far I definitely prefer SwiftUI. Challenge! I need to add in the o...
