Before SwiftUI

I’m on Day 26 of 100 Days, and didn’t grok the dates on my first read through, so I’ve read a couple of other explanations and sat down with a coffee and thought I’d see what YouTube had for me on the subject. I seen a few great iOS Academy videos, so this one seemed like a good choice.

I haven’t seen enough to say if it is a good or great explanation of dates, calendars and date components in Swift yet, but man, getting to the stage of writing useful code when using storyboards and UIKit takes a while! It’s literally 3:42 in to the video before there’s enough infrastructure done for “hello world”.

Takeaways: (1) Watching the launch of SwiftUI must have been mind-blowing. (2) I super appreciate the existence of Playgrounds for learning Swift.
