For module 3, CodeWithChris introduces us to iOS Developer Mikaela Caron. Over three lessons, Mikaela takes us on a whirlwind introduction to Git and GitHub. Git / GitHub is something I’ve heard of but never used. I tried to figure it out for myself a few days ago, but it […]

The last couple of lessons for module 2 taught us how to put get data from a JSON file, arrange it for display, add in navigation and bring it all together in a workable app. It feels like a whole lot of stuff in this module has gone over my […]
A couple of lessons today bringing together all that we’ve learned so far in Module 2. I followed the first lesson through the full 30-minutes like a walkthrough. I always feel that typing (or writing in the traditional sense) what you’re going through helps it stay in the mind for […]

I’m continually finding it amazing that much of that which I’ve taught myself over the years actually has a common method in use as a standard part of coding. The code that I concocted myself for my PHP scripts that handled data from MySQL/Maria pretty much utilised the flexibility of […]

Today’s lesson, lesson 8 from module 2, builds on yesterday’s insight into MVVM. The challenge requires bringing several things together that we’ve learned up until now. It’s only when you face a challenge like this that you realise how little has actually “sunk in” to the ol’ brain box. But […]
