Project 1: XCode

Alrighty so here I am writing another blog.

The point of the blog is for 2 reasons

1. To keep myself motivated! If I know people are reading my blog then I feel like I have to finish what I started.

2. To show others that it's tangible to achieve what I did. Just follow my footsteps!



Without further ado, let's get started.

I'm following along this project called 100 Days of Swift created by a guy named Sam Lu, you can find it here: http://samvlu.com/.

Basically this guy taught himself how to code in Swift and then proceeded to create the tutorial he wishes he had when he was learning. Pretty much what I did with my coding bootcamp blog. I wish someone wrote a coding bootcamp blog so I can see what they do every single day.

Anyways this guy is making 60 bucks with every purchase so good for him.



Here is the first section:




This very basic intro went over the simple installation of XCode as well as the basic controls of the XCode.







This is the UI of XCode. What makes it daunting is that none of the buttons have any labels on them. So unless you can magically figure out what all the icons mean, you will have trouble knowing right away what all the buttons do.

Sam does a great job of going over just a handful of cool tricks, but not so much that your brain will get overloaded.

I can really appreciate that as so many tutorials try to cover every fucking button and view. Which is pointless because you don't even remember it all.

Anyways that's it for today. I'll post more when I get to it.
