Josh's Swift Journey

No need to go into the obvious lament of how long it has been! Let's just say that it's a fresh new year and new start for 2020! The mini project was great - learned a lot of skills in practice. Now it's time to look at rw.com and decide what to focus on next.... Start Time - 20:34 Right here we go functions and types! It is recommended for what to do next (other than the awful to do list project, which I abandoned). Just approx 30 minutes today. Introduction We will start with what we already know about functions, then go on to more complex use of them. Then onto closures - yes! I need that badly! I really want to use the closure features a lot, lot more. Then enumeration - cool. Next onto properties and methods. Finally, classes and protocols. All on Xcode playgrounds. Get the beginner playground and work alongside Catie. Challenges along the way, cool. This is cool - I feel like I need to get back into the technical stuff rather than ploughing on with proj...

Christmas Day coding! Merry Christmas one and all! I may do several shorter entries today - whenever there is a good time to have a little session basically. First of all, I am going to tweak and refine the mini project. Also, I want to do a detailed breakdown of each aspect, each line of code. I need to understand that in more detail so I can understand and apply the skills. OK, let's go! Start Time - 13:14 So, first of all, let's see what is needed to 'finish' this project... *Paused for 15 minutes - updating all drivers' stats! OK, so it's not easy just to add in a text box towards the top. I'll leave that for now! The ONLY real thing to add in is to space out the text for when the driver stats come up. Cool! Putting it within a List is the way to go. That's cool, looks MUCH better! Spacing in between the items...harder to do than you think. The custom spacer bit works but then has an error for the final item. So I will instead put some ...
