What are Delegates and Protocols?
As I am preparing for my first iOS job and studying for interviews. One area that I feel a bit intimidated by is the idea of protocols and delegates. They seem to always be connected but are they really can we use one without the other? I think we can but then why are they… Continue reading What are Delegates and Protocols?
Lambda School – iOS Development Bootcamp – Week 14 & 15
This sprint was titled, Intermediate Swift. That got me thinking so everything we had done for the past 13 weeks was all beginning swift. There is so much to learn about this, yikes!!

It also has different endpoints and this is great… Continue reading Building an iOS app using an API
