Some things learned

[hampelm]

• Root view controller
• Navigation controller
• Outlets

[hampelm]

• You need to add a frame before drawRect will fire on a UIView
• How to do a struct with global constants

[hampelm]

• How to load an image from assets
• How to make it rounded
• One step better at programmatically laying out a view
• How to scale an image

[hampelm]

• Custom swift classes, first attempt at a stub of a logger.
• How to make an item clickable
• Learned that the above means "Enable user interaction and add a gesture interaction to a subview"
• You can only add a gestureRecognizer to one view
• I think that xcode still can't refactor swift code?
• Started learning how to persist data (locationDetailViewController)

(RootView is set in AppDelegate.swift)

• I probably need to subclass each UI element to create versions that match our style guide (eg a UITextField that automatically has the correct borders, radius, background, becomeFirstResponder(), etc)
• Found this list of iOS best practices: https://github.com/futurice/ios-good-practices#common-libraries
• Learned I probably am violating Apple's naming conventions in some places: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CodingGuidelines/Articles/NamingMethods.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001282-BCIGIJJF, https://github.com/raywenderlich/swift-style-guide
• It's time to move to a folder structure with Models, Views, Controllers (started out flat)
• I should learn how to use AppDelegateProtocol / Delegate (possibly) to share data between views cleanly -- see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5210535/passing-data-between-view-controllers
• Re-learned models, persisting data (super simple, pretty buggy)

I can probably use Cartography to make constraints / layout much less verbose: https://github.com/robb/Cartography

[hampelm]

Oh wait, maybe I should be using uiappearance to standardize appearance? (via https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/2iski6/how_to_subclass_uilabel/)

Adding a bridging header for the Facebook button: http://www.brianjcoleman.com/tutorial-how-to-use-login-in-facebook-sdk-4-0-for-swift/

[hampelm]

Tried to figure out why Facebook auth opens in Safari, instead of the native app.

Learned about AlamoFire, the HTTP app: https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire/tree/swift-2.0

Got an intro to how we'd use JWT from Prashant.

I'll need to figure out how to target previous iOS versions:

Xcode 7 beta includes SDKs for watchOS 2.0, iOS 9 and OS X version 10.11. To develop apps targeting prior versions of OS X or iOS, see the section “About SDKs and the Simulator” in What’s New in Xcode available on developer.apple.com or from the Help > What’s New in Xcode command when running Xcode.

[hampelm]

How to use a previous iOS SDK:

It can be used. You just need to find the file for the 8.x sdk that you want to test on in Xcode 6.x and copy it over to the corresponding Xcode 7 beta folder. You can find the file in this path. Path: /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport Xcode will suggest that you fix an error or two, but it should work. Note that when I did it there was still an error and some warnings, and I clicked run anyways and it worked regardless You may need to click "other" and add "iphoneos8.x" (x is your version number)and if you have it added to the correct location it will work .

• Async from Alamofire
• Loading data from images using Alamofireimage
• Global config to enable/disable Facebook login
