By the end of the semester, I had a fully working card game app. I had a solid understanding of the Swift language and the Xcode IDE as well. I also now have a collection of commented code that has been reviewed by professors that I can always look back on when I need a refresher or a reminder on how to do things in the future, which will be a valuable resource for me!
The most important thing I took away from this course was a drive to learn more. This class really interested me from a hybrid creator’s point of view, simply because of how visual all the programming was, and how easy it was for me to create UI designs with code, something that was extremely difficult for me to do with a programming language like Java. This opened up my eyes to the possibilities of it, and pulled me into the UI/UX design and mobile programming mentality.
