👋🏻 Hi! Welcome to Block Two! Well done on completing Block One! 🎉

First, don't forget to confirm your attendance using the Seats Mobile app!

Second, I'm going to start every lecture with a meditation from the fantastic Sitting Still Like a Frog book, all read by Myla Kabat-Zinn. If you don't want to participate that's completely fine.

Let's start by looking at the homepage for Block 2, which is below that of Block 1: https://jgl.github.io/DiplomaInAppleDevelopment-2024-2025/. I'm going to be updating both Coding 2 and Spatial 2 as we go. So please say what you want to learn in order to support your solo Spatial 2 apps!

Let's move on by reviewing the README.md for Block Two on the Apple Diploma GitHub: https://jgl.github.io/DiplomaInAppleDevelopment-2024-2025/. Don't forget to make note of the assessment schedule in your own calendars. As you know from Block One, assessment will be upon you before you know it! Tutorials will continue as normal on Monday mornings - please mark these in your calendars too - I'll post reminders on Fridays.

Let's continue by looking at the wiki for Block Two on the Apple Diploma GitHub: https://github.com/JGL/DiplomaInAppleDevelopment-2024-2025/wiki, paying particular attention to the reading list wiki page:

For a bit of revision, with this video from WWDC24: "A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design".

Our second bit of revision will be around SwiftUI, with this video from WWDC24: "SwiftUI essentials".

Let's move onto Symbols with this video from WWDC24: "What’s new in SF Symbols 6". I'd recommend watching the previous "What's New in SF Symbols X" from the previous WWDC's as recommended on that page, but please do this as homework.

Now let's take a look at how to animate in SwiftUI, with this video from WWDC23: "Explore SwiftUI animation". If you want to learn more about using animation in SwiftUI, take a look at the following two talks from the same WWDC: "Animate with springs" and "Wind your way through advanced animations in SwiftUI".

Finally, let's take a look at the following pieces of sample code from Apple:

• "Adding a depth effect to text in visionOS" - this uses SwiftUI animation!
• "Creating 2D shapes with SwiftUI".
• "Creating 3D entities with RealityKit".
• "Combining 2D and 3D views in an immersive app".

Thanks! As always, please review all today's content as homework.
