Hi Isaiah,

Did you add an animated gif file of your app demo anywhere? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks,

Hey Charlie,

I attached the gif file on the README file in github. I have additionally attached it to this email.

Best,
Shah Isa

hmm...I'm still not able to see the gif and I don't see the attachment...

The way we recommend handling gifs is to use imgur.

• You can make an account and just drag gif files onto the imgur web page to add them to your images.
• Once the image is uploaded, you can right-click on the image and choose "copy image address".
  • NOTE: The "image address" is different than the "web address" displayed in your browser.
• Inside your README you can get the gif to actually play (render) by pasting the image address into something like this code block...

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/6UZBB5R.gif" width="250"/> 

• It should look like this...
  

Let me know if you have any questions about this process.

Thanks,
Charlie

Awesome! Your app looks great Isaiah!

This pre-work is a preview of our weekly project process. Generally, weekly projects take about 5 hours to complete the required features and an additional 5 hours to complete the optional features. In general, we've seen that the more hours you log, the quicker you improve your proficiency with iOS.

The purpose of this project was to begin to explore Xcode and to get a broad overview of iOS development using Swift. For example, in this project, we explored the following concepts:

Code styling in Swift. You can find some code styling guides here:

Ray Wenderlich Swift Style Guide
Github Swift Style Guide

• Views are created in Storyboard, Interface Builder, or programmatically, but they have the same goal: instantiate, initialize, and layout view objects. We use IBOutlets to give names to view objects, similar to giving unique ids to divs in HTML.
• We registered for touch events, which can be done programmatically or via IBActions.
• We explored NSUserDefaults, one of the four persistence strategies in iOS.
• View controllers have a set of methods that are called when it loads, appears, or disappears. These are called view controller lifecycle methods.

Do your views look good on iPhone 4, 5, and 6? We will cover in class how to use Auto Layout to robustly design your views for different screen sizes and OS versions.

After this assignment, you should understand the purpose of IBOutlets and IBActions as well as the basics of designing views and programmatically interacting with the views from the controller.

Acceptance emails will be sent out during the first week of January.
