Josh's Swift Journey

Back in Dubai and back to the code! I knew yesterday would be a right off. But just to clarify, I do NOT need to code every day. I reckon that 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes to 1 hour. That may not hit the self-imposed three hours a week target. Realistically, however, with school about to start again, I cannot guarantee three hours a week. I need to put together my long term plan for coding, which I will actually do below. I need more vision and purpose for it. Having faced several setbacks with it, I can't let that deter me. These may seem like random, unconnected thoughts but they do actually link together. So, before continuing with Treehouse, let's map out my long term plan! Step 1(June 2018-December 2018) - learn the basics syntax and principles of coding with Swift. Step 2 (January 2019 - June 2019) - learn more intermediate level coding and create several of my own projects. Step 3 (July 2019 to December 2019) - build on the intermediate concepts, learn some more...

Back to Bob! I have genuinely missed learning new information, having spent a few days doing my mega consolidation project! The will be updated at the end of each 'stage' or mini stage. So my aim now is to complete the rest of this chapter, then I will do a consolidation review of the entire chapter - object oriented Swift. OK, let's get stuck in! Start Time - 17:02 Override Method, Init, Property SO this is what we will be looking at - the super.viewDidLoad bit... I get the idea of the override method. If you have a function with a class, then in the subclass, you want to change how the method works. So you need to use the override keyword. Bob makes the point that if you use the original value of what is returned, then you need to use the super keyword... Xcode doing an update so am screenshotting rather than typing out actual code. All the above is fine - I had forgotten that I still need to use the super bit - even if the value is not...
