Hi, I'm David. I am on day two of 100 days of Swift.
If I ask questions, it's because I have looked for the answer and couldn't find it or because I hardly understand the question enough to feel confident that my findings are accurate.
My goals here are quite simple. I want to learn Swift. I don't know that I can make a career of it as I have other obstacles in my way, but I have often come across apps which were either buggy or I didn't care for the layout. So, my goal is to write apps I want to use. If I one day publish, that could be cool, but I code for myself at this moment. I believe this philosphy will make my learning Swift less challenging as I am not puttung undue stress on the topic.
As Paul mentions in his 100 days of Swift intro, I have been chomping at the bit to make Swift my first language since it released. I just didn't have the coding chops to make it on my own.
A little more about me, I got my first MacBook Pro used off eBay. I was skeptical but extremely interested. That was the spring before Swift 1.0 released. I was amazed by the performance on this laptop. It was stomping my other laptops. I looked at Apple Script, thinking it was a starter language. Back then tutorials were painful because Apple was updating swift faster than I could follow tutorials, which is awesome for Swift and the community, but was a little overwhelming for me.
I have a new mac, I am ready to do this again. This time theres 100 days of Swift and 100 days of SwiftUI
Thank you Paul for this amazing resource. I have been all over and have bought into some teaching plans, none have turned out as yours has by this point.
I am excited to see what I can learn, and what I can do with what I learn.
