code.raysantos was created on this evening of Thursday, July 29, 2021 to document my progress learning iOS development.
My computer is a 2018 Mac mini and I have several ideas that I want to realize as apps for iPhone and iPad.
This evening I watched on YouTube “How to become an iOS developer in 2021” by Paul Hudson and decided to learn iOS development in the core skills order that he recommends:
- Swift
- SwiftUI
- Working with data
- Networking
- Version control
For the first core skill to learn, Swift, I decided to use the free online resource “100 Days of Swift“, which is also from Paul Hudson. I also watched a half-dozen different YouTube channels of people learning iOS development and Paul’s “100 Days of Swift” course was a recommended resource mentioned by several of the channels.
Two rules identified in “100 Days of Swift” to make a success of the course are:
- Every day you spend one hour reading or watching Swift tutorials, or writing Swift code.
- Every day you post about your progress to the social media site of your choosing. Tell people!
I created this code.raysantos site and a @CodeRaySantos account on Twitter for rule 2.
