Dev90X: Zero to App in 90 Days

Day 43: Strategy assessment! What is the minimum effective amount I need to learn?

Discussion:

  • Strategy: just take tutorials and customise them to my needs.
    • Problem: Not a lot of tutorials available to suit my specific need.
    • Problem: Most tutorials are for completely different apps.
    • Problem: Most tutorials focus on learning UI and views - whereas my core app does not need this yet.
    • Problem: Vision framework applications (from what I can see so far) use a lot of complex structures of the language.
    • Strategy: take bits and pieces from example apps and open source apps and stitch them together.
      • Problem: Requires understanding the code
      • Which requires understanding pretty much the entire project.
      • It takes a long time to read and understand another project for me.
      • Strategy: Hire someone else to build the entire thing for me.
        • Requires an iOS specialist - not a flutter developer. Not as common or easy to find.
        • Requires a step back to project management and managing someone else doing the work.
        • Requires capital - I could probably do it with under 5k, but that’s more than I can currently afford.
        • Doesn’t result in as much learning for myself.
        • Cannot be a portfolio piece to showcase my development ability.
        • Strategy: build it all from scratch myself.
          • Requires that I gain swift fluency as I will be implementing my own custom design.
          • Most people take around 6 months to learn iOS app development from scratch. And this might even be a difficult project for someone who’s spent 6 months already.
          • At this rate, I will run out of time.
          • Strategy: hybrid approach.
            • Learn swift
            • Copy as much as I can from other projects
            • What is the minimum amount that I need to learn?

              • Understand all the basics of Swift
              • Understand object oriented programming
                • How classes behave
                • How structs behave
                • Understand project architecture and design patterns
