Module 4 Lesson 6 is all about the EnvironmentObject … until you get to the challenge, and then it all gets baffling with new concepts and elements we’ve not seen before (Toggle?). I guess that’s the ‘learning curve’ for you. More sneaking a peek at the solution and working backwards […]

To date, all layout/design work done on SwiftUI has been fairly generic. SwiftUI makes laying things out pretty straight-forward if all you need is to throw elements onto the screen relatively neatly and not worry about precise locations. Today we learned about GeometryReader. This is a View (like ScrollView), only […]
After a helpful guiding hand setting up source control on the new module 4 project (with a challenge to do the same on the old War Card Challenge app), lesson 3 of module 4 dives right into a new ‘view’, that being “TabView”. Having been taken through various other views […]
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 […]

Data has to come from somewhere and, whether that’s from a database or a flat file, it’s still just data. JSON ensures that the data is available/presented in a common standard format. […]
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 […]
