DAY 56
Project 11, part 4
After a few days of following along with me making a project, it’s time for you to step out of your comfort zone and start writing your own code. Once again, these are challenges I’m setting you based on everything you’ve learned so far, which means they are absolutely within your grasp if you set your mind to it.
Amy Morin, a social worker turned author, once said “the more you practice tolerating discomfort, the more confidence you'll gain in your ability to accept new challenges.” This is the underlying goal in all these challenges: giving you a little nudge to try something yourself, to figure out what works, and – bluntly – to screw up a few times before you figure out the right solution.
There is value in getting things right, but there’s just as much value in getting things wrong. Embrace that – learn to tolerate the discomfort that goes hand-in-hand with writing fresh code yourself – and you’ll be a great developer.
Today you should work through the wrap up chapter for project 11, complete its review, then work through all three of its challenges.
Share something online about what you learned, or how you might use it in the future – do you like Core Data? Are you keen to create more custom user interface components? Tell folks – stay accountable!
Share your progress!
If you use Twitter, the button below will prepare a tweet saying you completed today, along with a celebratory graphic, the URL to this page, and the challenge hashtag. Don't worry – it won't be sent until you confirm on Twitter!

SPONSORED Let’s face it, SwiftUI previews are limited, slow, and painful. Judo takes a different approach to building visually—think Interface Builder for SwiftUI. Build your interface in a completely visual canvas, then drag and drop into your Xcode project and wire up button clicks to custom code. Download the Mac App and start your free trial today!
