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
