Next week, they'll be working on a project to do a static recreation of the Spotify "Now Playing" screen. This is an incredibly fun project that I've had students do before. Here's my reference screenshot and SwiftUI implementation for Childish Gambino's "Redbone" :)

Today, since everyone had finished setting up their development environments, we were able to do our first "lab" session!

Students came to class and followed detailed instructions to recreat some UI from Messages and Apple TV – aiming for a perfect recreation. It was a ton of fun!

In the next couple of classes, we talked about how to use HStack & VStack to arrange views, built a simple mental model for how view modifiers work, and talked about some common SwiftUI views and how to use them (Text, Image, Color, Shape, etc)

On FDOC (first day of class), we covered the standard course logistics, like all classes.

But, rather than stopping there, I like to end the first day by showing students how easy and fast SwiftUI is with a recreation of the Instagram UI with hardcoded data. It's always a ton of fun!

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 :)
