Overview

Getting started with Swift can seem overwhelming, especially if you’ve never worked with a programming language before. Hopefully, you followed along with the demos and read all the corresponding material. This homework will put what you learned in practice.

For the homework for this lesson (and subsequent lesson), you are looking to replicate the result. You are not looking to match the code. You’ll learn soon enough that there are many ways to do the same thing. Your approach may be different, but it doesn’t have to be identical.

When starting out, focus on writing code. Get comfortable with the language and syntax. Once you have a firm foundation, you can analyze how certain code may affect your program. You’ll learn various best practices and design patterns, but that will come in time. For now, focus on finding your footing in this strange new world of app development.
