I’ve decided to log my progress in learning iOs development. Hopefully one day when I’ll have published my first app, I can look back and really appreciate the efforts I’m putting in right now (patting myself on the back much?).
While yesterday I was browsing Quora for god knows what, I stumbled upon a thread with epic lists of iOs development resources. And one guy who answered that question has recommended his own course. That’s how I discovered and bought “iOs 9 and Swift 2: From Beginner to Paid Professional”.
Then I went totally crazy about it and wasn’t aware of the time before I finished lesson 27. So here’s what I made today.

After you inevitably touch the button (I know I would), you’d see
There you are, my first ever app!
And the second one is about learning the “hidden” property of the images.
After you click the “I love cats!” button, you get rewarded with a cute cat picture. The pictures are from freepik.com by the way.
This is for people who can’t decide between cats and dogs. And lastly for dog people:
Things absorbed:
- How to use UIButtons, IBActions and IBOutlets.
- How to produce cute logos in 30 seconds.
- How to hide stuff
Oh man, I totally get that excitement of diving into a new programming language or platform! iOS development is such a cool field to get into. It's awesome that you're logging your progress - future you is definitely going to appreciate looking back on this journey.
Finding that resource list on Quora must have felt like striking gold. It's always great when you stumble across exactly what you need like that. And the course you found sounds promising - "From Beginner to Paid Professional" is quite the ambitious title!
I'm really impressed that you blazed through 27 lessons in one sitting. That kind of enthusiasm is what keeps you going when things get tough. I'm curious, what kind of stuff did you cover in those first 27 lessons? Any cool little apps or features you've built yet?
Logging your progress is such a smart move. Not only will it be awesome to look back on, but it can also help keep you motivated. On those days when you feel like you're not making progress, you can look back and see how far you've come.
Keep up the great work! Before you know it, you'll be submitting your first app to the App Store. Can't wait to hear about your progress as you keep learning. Who knows, maybe your log will end up being a resource for other aspiring iOS developers in the future!
