Today was one of those days where you start to feel as though you aren't making any progress. It feels like there is so much to know and to learn, and so little time to learn it. I'm in a haze right now, trying to mentally organize this influx of information. Fingers crossed that I don't explode before interim ends.
My new book arrived late this afternoon so I haven't spent much time on it yet. I'll have lots of time tomorrow, so I'll really hit it hard because I'm getting anxious to get the book learning out of the way and actually being working on my application. Such tediousness...ugh. Don't get me wrong, I love learning, but sometimes so much goes in and it feels like I'm drowning.
On a more positive note, I learned about the developer tools and all the little niceties that Apple has built into Xcode for my use. The book I've been reading through showed me how to access different classes and look up the documentation to see what each different class can do. I can see lots of documentation reading in my future. I haven't looked through all the documentation and built-in classes yet, but I'm really hoping I can find classes that let me tap into the messaging system as well as calenders and email. That would really help me out in writing the application.
Hopefully I can push through my feelings of hopelessness and break through to the understanding phase of my project soon! I'm ready to understand fully how this all works and start using it for real!
