#100daysofswift — Public Fediverse posts

Taking the 100 Days of SwiftUI course. Pushing myself to go through the 14 foundation days as syntax is slightly different than other languages but glad I understand the core concepts. I’m on Day 8-ish now. #100daysofswift @twostraws

Just completed #swiftui project 2 of https://hackingwithswift.com and thus appended day 34 of my #100daysofswift #programming journey. There is a lot to learn about SwiftUI, but it's cool to be able to get going so quickly.

I'm finally sitting down and working my way through #100DaysOfSwift, and have passed checkpoint 5 and managed to get through Closures. My M3 Pro is making learning this much...um...Swifter when jumping between the lessons and #Xcode while using #VoiceOver. Most of this has been review, but I really want to get comfy with this language so I can be more effective at being an iOS #Accessibility Engineer. So far so good! #Blind #BlindCoding

Day 33 of #100DaysOfSwift has been completed by writing a small app for a challenge.

Just completed Day 32 of #100DaysOfSwift by completing project 1 on https://www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui and finally getting to learn some more #SwiftUI

Actually the author said it should be done in smaller steps and each day, but if you have a toddler you just gotta compromise and take as much of the time you can once you get some 😄

Let's see how far I have to go with this tutorial website until I can finally build one of my own app projects. So far I'm just scratching on the surface of SwiftUI.

After more than a full month of absence I managed to get back in the #100DaysOfSwift game with day 31 🎉

🎉 I just finished Day 73 of the #100DaysOfSwiftUI at https://hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui/73 via

I managed to squeeze in day 30 of #100DaysOfSwift

What a week! I only made it to day 29 of #100DaysOfSwift due to lack of time. Well, one day is better than nothing.

It is day 28 of #100DaysOfSwift and having a couple of off-days in-between made me forget a lot already. My circular buffer exercism task took me much longer than I hoped.
Started doing some mentoring on #exercism too, on the TS track.

It is day 27 of my little #100DaysOfSwift challenge and my #swift skills are slowly getting better.
I feel like I have to start doing some real projects. I recently discovered https://projectbook.code.brettchalupa.com/ which lists project ideas to build. Rebuilding unix utilities sounds like a fun exercise for a start.

Day 24-26 of #100DaysOfSwift - reporting gets slower, but so far I can keep track

Day 22 of #100DaysOfSwift was all about strings and iterating over strings, comparing their characters. I have to admit, accessing string indexes is more complex in #Swift than what I'm used to from JS and Go, but I guess the reason for this is the strong dedication to Unicode correctness. Not a bad reason to do that imho.

Day 21 of #100DaysOfSwift complete 🥳

Day 19 + 20 of #100DaysOfSwift are done and I learned a lot about access-control in #Swift. I really like how fine-grained you can set the access-control and that everything is available for the whole module scope per default.
`fileprivate` seems very useful too.
Looking forward to finally start with #SwiftUI soon 😄

Day 18 of my little #100DaysOfSwift experiment concluded successfully and I still have a lot of fun with the language. Being able to provide callbacks in #Swift in a shorthand fashion is very neat. I like that you can do very complicated stuff but if you don't need complicated right now, you can get simple and readable syntax.

After day 16 and 17 of #100DaysOfSwift I finally managed to install #Swift on my #ubuntu laptop and to use it in #vscode. It's surprisingly well integrated.

Day 15 of #100DaysOfSwift was the first one in Exercism after the foundational exercises. And it finally got a bit complicated. I learned how to calculate the sum of squares and the square of sums in #Swift. Originally this is a ProjectEuler task https://projecteuler.net/problem=6 🤓 #programming #math

What do people do on Friday evenings? Well, you can call me a nerd, I completed day 12 of #100DaysOfSwift.
I just realized there are exactly 100 Swift exercises on exercism.org. Coincidence?

#100DaysOfSwift day 11 and my posts are getting more terse 😅

A new milestone in my #100DaysOfSwift was reached - day 10 🎉

Finishing up the successful day 9 of #100DaysOfSwift with a piece of strawberry cake made by my beloved wife 🥰
#Swift #Programming

I completed day 8 of #100DaysOfSwift . It was a good day with half an hour of reading the #swift book and half an hour of doing #programming exercises. Plus I start to get used to the weird keybindings of a #Macbook 😅

Yesterday was too stressfull to get any studying done, but now I finally finished day 7 of #100DaysOfSwift . I'm slowly starting to get out of the super beginner zone of exercism.org and in contrast just entered the super beginner zone of the Swift book, after being bombarded with complicated concepts in the overview section. I do enjoy the pacing and structure of the book and I like the mix of reading + exercises. Still motivated to go on with the challenge. #programming #learning

After a day of being unable to squeeze in some learning time yesterday, I continued with day 6 of #100DaysOfSwift by grinding some of the beginner exercises of the #Swift track on exercism.org. Those super simple beginner exercises are immediately extremely boring. Gamification helps with getting them done, but I really hope there will be some better ones soon. I might switch to Leetcode or some other exercise-bits-provider.

Yesterday I finished day 5 of #100DaysOfSwift and I actually didn't get much learning done. I spent most of the time trying to figure out how to set up Exercism on the Macbook of my wife. I never really used a Macbook before starting to learn Swift, so I was quite lost.
One hour later, once I understood that you can't open folders in #XCode like you'd do in #VSCode or #Neovim, I finally solved the hello-world program and went offline 😅

Finished day 4 of #100daysOfSwift and I'm almost finished with the first chapter of the #Swift book that gives a fast overview of all the language features.

Diving into complex features like structs, classes, enums, protocols, extensions and async tasks in a single session makes my head spin. I'm looking forward to finally get to the slow and comfy part of the book.

I was wondering about the role of classes vs structs and Claude faithfully answered all my questions.

#programming

Whelp, I've just finished day 1 of #100DaysofSwift. I must say @twostraws, I'm very rusty at anything programming-like having last programmed in VB in about 1999, but so far I'm enjoying myself. Thanks for putting it together and making it available.
