Today I Learned ... to not over-reach.
Projects in Xcode offer an option of setting up a Git resource. Git / GitHub is something I’ve come across from time to time – I guess every coder has – but I’ve never actually used it. So I looked into it this morning, and it looks like another ocean to swim. Then I realised that the CodeWithChris iOS Foundation course covers GitHub in module 3, so I guess we’re going to get to that anyway.
Today I Learned … reading is not the same as understanding.
Lesson 2 of the iOS Foundation course Module 2 covers Arrays – something I’m reasonably familiar with from other coding languages. The “challenge” of the lesson, however, deviates from the actual lesson to incorporate much that was covered in the Beginner’s course. I’d expected something focussed entirely on arrays.
Thankfully, Chris Ching provides resource material to read up on, including a solution to the challenge. Going through this solution and identifying which pieces relate to which parts of the challenge is proving very educational.
The toe has touched the ocean, but it’s not been joined by any others yet.
