Join us today on Twitch at 1pm, Irish time for some more coding!
Lookback Sessions Sign Up
We’re continuing our Lookback Sessions on Fridays. For the month of May we’re covering the Hello, Byte playground, which is a beginner playground that will introduce you to Swift, the language, and coding in general.
Register so we can send you the Zoom details and we’ll see you on the playground!
Today
We ran through a lot of styling yesterday. We looked at ways to lay out your view and some tricks that I use to help orient myself when I’m laying things out. Many times your best bet will be to sketch it out and then use trial and error to see where your elements are.
Today we’re going to focus on the front back button. We’ve already connected our shutter button to the trigger property of our cameraView, so now we’re going to make it so we can swap out the front and back camera feed to our cameraView.
You’ve done an incredible job coming this far! We’ve built a pretty amazing, nearly fully functional camera in just a few short days, this is a massive feat for anybody!
WWDC2020 Student Challenge
This is the sort of work that Apple is looking for for their Swift Student Challenge at WWDC2020 and would form an excellent base for your submission.
We’re happy to help your figure out your idea (we can’t implement it for you but we can give you inspiration and advice or point you in the right direction), so please drop us a note if you’re planning on giving it a shot!
Just drop us a line at [email protected] and operators will be standing by!
See you at 1pm today, Irish time!
