Day 8 - Interfacing, finding out just how much I still don't know

Today I began working on the interface system for my application. I thought I knew how it worked, but when I tried to set up multiple views, I hit a bug and it forced me to go take a look at the documentation. Apple has extensive documentation, but I had trouble finding what was most relevant to my project as I didn't exactly know what search terms to use. Sometimes the wording seems to be a bit cryptic and I had to look through a lot of documentation to find something that was actually helpful. I also went back to my iOS programming book and discovered they have a chapter that covers multiple views. I'll be able to finish that chapter tomorrow and hopefully get a bare-bones interface system up and running.

Unfortunately, I've been summoned for jury duty, so I have to go in tomorrow to court. Hopefully that won't take long, and I'll be able to get back to the project at hand. I'm supposed to be exempt, and I sent them all the required paperwork, but they never got back to me, so I have to show up. We shall see what happens.
