Summertime cycling in North Carolina means wearing sunglasses in the dark to keep the constant swarm of gnats out of my eyes 🤢

My former students never cease to amaze me. In the past couple of months, several have landed some REALLY cool iOS roles—Apple, PayPal, GoFundMe, Walmart, GameChanger, and more 🤯

So honored to have been a part of their journeys :)

I finally hopped on the CleanShot X train and—oh my god! How have I lived without this?

:)

I want to convince my students that quality & organization of their code matters. So, we're taking a look at quite a controversial pattern in the iOS world – MVVM 🫣

Figuring out how to teach this is pretty tough 💀. The specifics of code organization is often so arbitrary and subjective 😅

Oh North Carolina… could you please pick a season…?

First two weeks of class are done!

So far we've covered the fundamentals of displaying, arranging, and styling views with SwiftUI. Next week – using @State and Button to create interactive apps!

Check the thread for a more detailed breakdown of what we've done so far and what's next 🙂

One of my TAs just dropped these 3d printed goodies off for my office 🥹

Being able to see (and interact with!) iPhone notifications on my Mac has made these pesky 2FA pushes a lot less annoying :)

M.S. Computer Science? ✅
Teach a university course on iOS? ⏰

I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be returning to UNC to teach my own, custom-built course on iOS dev :)

This will be a wild ride, but I’m stoked to share my passion for Swift and SwiftUI with my students. Stay tuned for updates!
