Swift not Java

I’ve decided to undertake another PDP (personal development project) and I’ll be learning how to program an app in Swift, which is Apple’s programming language. Programming was previously a bad experience for me because I made the mistake of taking Java as an online college class. I had zero prior programming experience and it turned into a nightmare; every week a project was due and I pretty much panicked in trying my hardest to turn it in on time. Most of the time I ended up copying and pasting code I found on google. I learned how to be more resourceful and getting assignments done on time, but at the expense of knowing little about Java.

Despite my bad experiences, I wanted to resume programming because in the future I plan to build an app for my own business. I’ve already started learning Swift through Code with Chris, and so far his tutorials are simple and easy to understand. In comparison with Java and all the C languages, Swift is by far the most forgiving. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to do stuff in Swift.

I’ll update you on my progress and if you’re curious I’d recommend you check out Code with Chris. I’m actually a bit hyped for this, can’t wait to show y’all the end results.
