This is a great submission Lizzie!

In order to even further increase your chances of acceptance and familiarize yourself further with the language, we encourage you take a stab at additional optionals. You can just submit a new Github issue when you’re done and add /cc @codepathreview. No need to refill the pre-work form

This pre-work is a preview of our weekly project process. Generally, weekly projects take about 5 hours to complete the required features and an additional 5 hours to complete the optional features. In general, we've seen that the more hours you log, the quicker you improve your proficiency with iOS.

The purpose of this project was to begin to explore Xcode and to get a broad overview of iOS development using Swift. For example, in this project, we explored the following concepts:

Code styling in Swift. You can find some code styling guides here:

Do your views look good on iPhone 4, 5, and 6? We will cover in class how to use Auto Layout to robustly design your views for different screen sizes and OS versions.

After this assignment, you should understand the purpose of IBOutlets and IBActions as well as the basics of designing views and programmatically interacting with the views from the controller.

Acceptance emails will be sent out during the first week of January.

I'm planning on working on more optionals, but am a bit confused about the CodePath University program. If my school doesn't have 15 people participating, can I still do the lessons/videos after this pre-work?

* Views are created in Storyboard, Interface Builder, or programmatically, but they have the same goal: instantiate, initialize, and layout view objects. We use IBOutlets to give names to view objects, similar to giving unique ids to divs in HTML. 
* We registered for touch events, which can be done programmatically or via IBActions. 
* We explored NSUserDefaults, one of the four persistence strategies in iOS. 
* View controllers have a set of methods that are called when it loads, appears, or disappears. These are called view controller lifecycle methods.

CodePath’s model involves in-person classes which we’ve found make a huge difference in terms of ensuring the quality of the learning is maximized. We also have group projects which requirement in-person coordination. With our limited resources it only makes sense to work with schools where there is a minimum class size and interest.
