  2. Working through "Intro to App Development with Swift"
  3. Homework assignment!

Have you taken the register first?

0. What questions to do you have for me?

  • What questions to do you have for me?
  • What are your concerns? What are you worried about? What do you want to ask but you are embarrassed?
  • All questions allowed!
  • 10 minutes alone on post it notes, then double group size every 10 minutes until it's the whole group.
  • This idea came from Zach Lieberman. He does this exercise at the start of every session of School of Poetic Computation in New York.

1. Working through "Intro to App Development with Swift".

  • Let's do lesson 4 - "Hello, world!"
  • Let's do lesson 5 - "First App"

  • Let's do lesson 7 - "BoogieBot"
  • Let's do lesson 8 - "Constants and Variables"

2. Homework assignment!
