100 Days of Swift
- makecheck 11y agoThis web site nearly seized the CPU on my MacBook Pro running Firefox. I don't really recommend clicking it.
- tyingq 11y agoIt appears to load all of it's large animated gifs all at once...18MB total page weight.
- Cyberdog 11y agoOnce you saw the inverted caret thing at the bottom of the page instead of actual content, you could have just safely closed the tab, knowing you missed nothing of consequence. I did.
- nthnclrk 11y agoAs another data point, this 12" Retina Macbook running only a 1.1Ghz Core M processor had absolutely no troubles navigating the site (in Safari).
- wickedOne 11y agonice to see that you've managed to engage and improve yourself using swift for 100 days. being a reletiely new languauge, i think it would have been a more interesting article if you had compared / benchmarked it to a languages you already know and use…
- tdriggs 11y agoIt would be interesting to see the code for these as you progressed, too.
- dovdov 11y agoYeah, sadly, showing off his cloning abilities were more important.
- melling 11y agoThis would be more useful if the source was provided. It would help the next [motivated] person learn the same material is half the time.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoOr the next lazy person in 1/100th the time.
- melling 11y agoyep. There's nothing wrong with making it easier for the next person. Swift will be a great language for a lot of people. Btw, I'm putting some notes online too: http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift_cookbook.html http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift_cookbook.html
- zippergz 11y agoAgreed. There are a few things there I don't know how to do off the top of my head, and it would have been awfully useful to see at least a small snippet of code...
- akhilcacharya 11y agoI would really love to learn more about these sorts of advanced animation techniques honestly - never bothered to learn much about them, given how painful they were on Android.
- melling 11y agoHere's a bunch of animation articles written within the past 6 months: http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift.html?q=animation&age=180 http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift.html?q=animation&age=180 It's actually not that difficult on iOS.
- markdown 11y agoAnyone know what his experience level (with programming in general) was outside of swift prior to starting? Was this a pro iOS developer learning to do stuff he already knew in another language, or a guy who's never written a line of code in his life before this?
- nstj 11y agoHis Linkedin profile sheds some light on this (don't want to be creepy and link to it or anything, it's pretty easily discoverable via his blog if you're interested).
- avalexandrov 11y agoFrom his Medium post[1]: "My background is Motion Graphics and I’m a self-taught Web Developer. I know HTML, CSS, Sass, Javascript, jQuery, some Ruby and Python, but haven’t built an app before."

- huangc10 11y agoThis is pretty neat. As a professional iOS developer who loves Obj-C (yeh omg), this is a good set of projects/tutorials to compete step by step. I'd suggest cleaning up your code and posting on github. It'll be a great way for people to reference and even possibly show your future employers.
- interpol_p 11y agoThis is a cool set of projects, though it would be better titled: "100 Days of UIKit." There are Swift-focused ways to build apps, but the use cases where Swift shines tend to be on the application architecture side rather than the visual result. That said, you're bound to learn a lot about Swift by virtue of using it to build UIKit projects, so well done!

- coffeecheque 11y agoI think this is a more detailed write up from the same author: https://medium.com/@samvlu/100-days-of-swift-736d45a19b63 https://medium.com/@samvlu/100-days-of-swift-736d45a19b63
- skyhatch1 11y agoTotally clicked thinking this was going to be some of weird but interesting Taylor Swift shrine, but yeah, this is cool too. Useful for my buddies who work with iOS devices.
- zhjie23 11y agoI was supposed to see it's a girl. Lol
- randomsearch 11y agoAny idea how much time per day the author spent on their projects?
- jafingi 11y agoI especially love the clone of Twitter launch screen. Looks so smooth. But would be great with code snippets.
- eddd 11y agoVery nice way to force yourself to learn the swift.
