Passing Information Between View Controllers

Image
Passing Information Between View Controllers I don't know why, but for whatever reason one of the things that used to really drive me crazy was passing information between view controllers.  I think it is just part of the learning curve, and Apple's strong encouragement toward some type of MVC inspired design pattern. To help others who are trying to get a handle on this, I wrote up a very simple app that passes data between two view controllers.  One has a text label that displays text, and the other one allows you to change the text displaying on the first one. Storyboard Layout After setting up the view, and associating ViewController.swift files with each one, and setting up Storyboard IDs for each View, it's actually very simple to write code to pass the text between them.  In my example, I set the segue up by right-click-dragging from the Enter Text button over to the other view controller and chose "Show" for the segue type.

Landing Your First iOS Developer Job: My Journey Changing Careers

Landing Your First iOS Developer Job My Journey It's easy to feel lost I was bored with my job.  Every day seemed to be exactly the same as the day before.  My brain was set to off for all but a few minutes every day.  I wasn't challenged.  I was literally going in circles (you have no idea how literally).  It was time for a change. Coding is something that I became interested in when I was only about 7 or 8 years old.  My dad was working for Microsoft at the time, and brought home some Basic (the language) programming books for kids.  I can't even express in words the first time I learned how to use Boolean logic that executed a goto statement.  It was like creating my own Choose Your Own Adventure book.  I could get lost inside a world of integers, strings, and goto's for hours. As I got older, coding started becoming a background hobby, as I was introduced to memory management, arrays, and command line arguments in C, and setting up UI in Visual Basic

Stars... They're What Growing Developers Eat for Breakfast

Stars... In this day and age, free is nearly expected.  You spent eight hundred bucks on your smart phone, why should you have to pay for the apps on it?  And speaking of free apps, they better be amazing, so why bother downloading something that doesn’t have at least 4 stars attached to it?  Once you download the app, why bother adding a rating of your own?  This extra effort can seem very time consuming and trivial from a consumer’s perspective. This attitude poses real problems for developers.  Developing software is time consuming, and it can be very expensive.  Many developers can’t even break even to make back their $99 per year developer account that allows them to have apps on the app store to begin with.  Is it because people don’t like their apps, or they make garbage software? No.  It’s because their apps get burried, and the people who do download them, don’t bother to add a review.  Reviews matter, a lot.  A new app will get burried in the App Store
