Serious progress - FINALLY!!

Today has been an all-around productive day. I discovered the error I had been making that kept me from clicking a cell to load a new view. It was really simple. I was calling the wrong method. I can't believe I spent hours trying to figure that one out. I was calling a method that fires when the user presses a button that can be coded into the cell, instead of calling the method that fires when the user presses the cell itself. It was such a small thing, but that's how programming goes. You live and learn. I can guarantee I won't be making that mistake again.

I also had a chat with Dr. Sykes about getting hooked up as a student developer for Apple so I can use real devices to test my programs on. Dr. Sykes is looking into requisitioning an iPad so I can test out my interface on it this week. We also discussed the paper and what topics I can write it on, etc. I've got an idea and I'll hit that full on tomorrow. However, I still really want to continue the interface of my app because I'm actually making progress. The more progress I make, the more I want to work on it. I'm at the point where I can create a new project and now I need to code up the class that stores the individual project information.

Time is flying, and there's so much I still want to do!
