  • Web Development Overview

    I don’t often just link to someone else’s content, but I was really impressed with Brad Traversy‘s “Web Development In 2024 – A Practical Guide” video. Apparently he does these every year – it’s just a really comprehensive overview of Web Development pitched at beginners.

  • Complicating the Temperature API

    I’ve been slammed with other work, so my web dev learning has fallen well behind. Luckily, the YouTube procrastination algorithm noticed this and suggested I watch a video from CodeWithCon titled Learn Backend in 10 MINUTES. Since I was watching a video of a guy learning to land a C152 at St Baths (a skill…

  • CSS for Beginners

    I mentioned a couple of days ago that the ZTM webdev course was skipping forwards too quick and that it would need to be supplemented. For CSS, I think the supplement for me is going to be this series from Dave Gray.

  • Towards MVVM

    On one of the more mediocre episodes of Fireside Swift, McSwiftface and Zach talk about the SOLID principles of class design, although I don’t hold the principles as the article of religious fervour that many interviewers apparently do, they are a useful touchstone for considering class quality. OOP had been in swing (in a commercial…

  • Calculator

    The app I’m working on currently (for multiplication tables practice) has a number type keypad and display a bit like a calculator – but for entering the answers. It’s been quite fun to think through all the little problems to make it work how you’d expect, so I was quite interested to watch an iOS…

  • Gitting up to date

    I’ve started the habit of branching my code for each feature or batches of features. This is not really needed, I’ve developing solo, and the code on main is not in production. I could just go on committing, but part of my process is about becoming competent with git. There are a couple of git…

  • iOS Academy

    A YouTube channel worth subscribing to is Afraz Siddiqui’s iOS Academy. He does a great videos on iOS development. My favouriets might be the shorter focussed ones, like this one on the new SwiftUI chart views.

  • 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…

  • Sometimes the Gold is in the Comments

    I’m still not 100% clear on @ObservedObject v @StateObject. So when YouTube offered up this video, in which Paul promises during the intro that I’ll understand the data bindings by the end, I thought it would be the video for me. I guess I should really have twigged that I’d never heard of @ObjectBinding, but…

  • CSS Intro

    When I wrote my last commercial HTML (in 1996 lol) I’m pretty sure there was no CSS. It was the land of textured backgrounds, blinking scrolling text, “under construction” gifs, and links to gopher URLs were not uncommon. So this is an area I need to update my skills a little just to carry on…
