DAY 49
Project 10, part 1
You’ve had a couple of days away from following projects, and I hope you used them to review what you’ve learned, write your own code for a while, and reflect on what was said in yesterday’s videos.
As the late, great Zig Ziglar said, “there are two sure ways to fail: think and never do, or do and never think.” Well, today is very much back to being a “do” day: we have a new project to build, which in turns means some new techniques to learn.
In particular, we’re going to take our first steps into networking, so you can see how Swift makes it easy to fetch data from the internet to use in our app. When combined with Codable to handle JSON, this means we can read data from a server directly from SwiftUI – it works really smoothly, as you'll see.
Today you have four topics to work through, in which you’ll learn about URLSession, the disabled() modifier, and more.
- Cupcake Corner: Introduction
- Sending and receiving Codable data with URLSession and SwiftUI
- Loading an image from a remote server
- Validating and disabling forms
