Today I woke up determined to figure out how to use view controllers to manipulate views on a screen. Namely, I wanted to be able to start with a main view and push a button on the screen to switch to another view. I started going through my books some more, trying to understand how this could be accomplished, and I finally was successful! I not only was able to figure that out, but I think that today was the day that I have transitioned from being clueless, to actually starting to understand how to make things work in Xcode. Sometimes it just takes stepping away from a project for a few minutes, or sleeping on it, but eventually, upon return, I always seem to understand it a little better.
I also met with Dr. Sykes today and we chatted about where to go from here. I've decided to move forward with "finishing" the interface so that I have all the views that will be necessary. Once I have that, I can move into actually coding each feature into the application. First however, I will start drawing. An artist I am not, but it will be necessary to lay out how I want the interface to look before I start building it. I'll also take some time tomorrow to work with Cody on the puzzle application and see if we can make some more progress on it.
Until tomorrow!
