Another fun day with 100 Days of SwiftUI.

Some more basic views, but I'm already learning new stuff. I had no idea you could use colors and gradients directly as views! So cool. Also, it's pretty neat how .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) modies one view or a group of views to extend …

Fun day today with 100 Days of SwiftUI. The core challenge was very easy, a simpler version of the PaperWeight app I've been making with Nicholas.

However, after completing the basic challenge I decided to try using Measurement class to do my conversions. It worked fine, and made for a …

One more day of 100 Days of SwiftUI done. I suppose this intro stuff will start getting boring, I'll have to come up with a better way of introducing my blog entries.

Today we reviewed the WeSplit app and did a few challenges. Everything was quite simple and straightforward. I …

Another day of 100 Days of SwiftUI on the books. Today we built the WeSplit UI and wired everything up.

My only significant change to today's work was using a NumberFormatter to display the amount per person instead of using a c-style format string. I see that Apple added new …

Back into blogging! I'm starting up 100 Days of SwiftUI again, picking up where I'd previously left off.

I've already shipped one app built in SwiftUI, but it's a really simple app with no networking or state. After WWDC this year, I got inspired and found that I wanted to …

Today I'm doing 100 Days of Swift at 36,000 feet, flying from SF to New York, to go to a retreat with the Visipedia folks at Cornell Tech. The good news is that there's free WiFi on the flight, so I was able to watch the youtube videos. The …

Another late day of 100 Days of Swift today, I spent all day grinding on iNat vision stuff. Hopefully some of the visualizations from that will make their way into a new blog post soon.

Today was protocols & extensions, super awesome features in Swift. I was lucky to be at …

Late day of 100 Days of Swift today, too much work and other stuff to do. I'll just do a short blog post.

I didn't realize that super.init() is always required in the init method of subclasses. Probably healthy, it's part of the Objective-C boilerplate.

Also, I've noticed some …

Another day of 100 Days of Swift in the books! Today I finished the section on structs. I'd forgotten a few things, so let's dive in.

In Objective-C, we typically implement lazy variables by making them computed properties, so I'm not used to thinking about these concepts separately. However, here's …

I'm done with a full week of 100 Days of Swift! For some reason, structs make me happy. I just like them. They were exotic and cool when I was learning C to hack on the Linux kernel. They're still cool today, now that value types and immutability are the …
