I'm learning Swift.

So far I don't see why it's any better than Objective-C. Perhaps I'll find that out later.

I just resumed iOS App development after quite a long hiatus. My iPhone was stolen and my MacBook Pro dropped dead just a couple weeks after AppleCare expired.

Now I have a Mac Mini and an iPhone 7. (The 7 Plus is too large to hold comfortably.)

I've been working on Warp Life since time began.

Some of the APIs I use have been deprecated. I'm unfamiliar with their replacements, and have found that all the tutorials are in Swift.

My current job is a consulting contract. While my clients and I really like each other, when I finished all their projects I'll be out of work again.

I hope to get a job as an iOS App Developer. Just to be considered for that role, one has to have published at least one App in the App Store. Having a stellar resume doesn't help one bit - you need that one published App, even if it's totally braindead.

I've got at least six months before I have to look for a new client.

    I'd do it in Swift, so that I have some Swift sample code to show to potential clients.

    You can go a long way by using a different CSS stylesheet if the screen is smaller. Look at the head element of this page [soggywizards.com].

    Before I write a Soylent News app I would do well to finish the app I've been working on so long. I have a problem with starting new projects before the old ones are finished.
