Learning to program in Swift — Day 33

Short background: I quit my full time job last month to learn to be an application developer in Swift. I’m learning Swift via Udacity’s iOS Nanodegree program and every single resource that I find useful on the web.

This will be my “journal” of my experience in learning Swift. If I ever find time, I will fill in some more of my background (like why I had to quit my day job when most people will try to learn on the side). But for now, brevity is my main goal.

I’m currently in the UIKit Fundamentals — Outlets and Actions portion (for those that have access to the Udacity’s class materials) and I just finish hand coding the basic click app (without using Storyboard). I understand the coding aspect but the concepts like “target-action” and “callback methods” are still throwing me off. I found this link online re: callbacks and will try to read through to understand it.

My goal is to dedicated ~15 minutes every day that I’m learning Swift to write about what I’m trying to learn and what I’m having difficulty with. As I write this, I’m over on my 15 minutes, so back to studying.
