Last week I gave you my initial impressions on Objective-C and begun the epic Stanford course on iOS application development. I have now completed the first assignment and am half way through the videos and I would like you to accompany me as I continue my journey to Make Epic Shit.
But first, the “Hello, World” application. It’s an application that’s on the right path—it’s just missing the Epic.
I’m in the process of learning Objective-C in order to get more in to Mac and iOS development. I have a dream to one day create a Monkey Island-style graphic adventure (I recently found these excellent notes of a talk given by William Turner who worked as a Senior Artist on the Curse of Monkey Island that are worth a read if you’re interested in the design side of things as well).
Before I get to my Magnum Opus, I’m starting small with a few basic (but hopefully useful) apps to get my feet wet.
Currently following Jacqueline “Fitarella” Carly’s 12 in 12 idea, where you choose 1 new thing per month, then do that thing every day for that month. At the end of the month, you decide whether or not to keep doing it on top of the new thing for the next month.
The Picture element is clearer and easier to understand. So, of course, they choose Srcset. Ugh. #HTML5 #ResponsiveImages #WHATWG
Hi! I'm Simon Fairbairn and I am very fortunate because I love what I do!
I spend my days designing and building websites and teaching people about Search Engine Optimisation, traffic analysis and conversion rates.
In other words, I help people create beautiful websites and then I help make those websites perform.
