#git
Rewind the clock ten years. The year was 2014, smartphones were still finding their feet, and I was a bright-eyed developer, eager to conquer the world, one line of code at a time. But a formidable foe stood in my path – our company’s steadfast reliance on Subversion (SVN) for version control. Don't get me wrong, SVN had served us well for a time. But as our projects grew in complexity and our team expanded, its limitations became increasingly apparent. Branching and merging were exercises in frustration, collaboration felt clunky, and don't even get me started on trying to work offline! The very tool that was meant to streamline our development process was slowing us down. A solution was needed, but a full-blown migration to a new system (Git was beckoning) felt like a distant dream. Then, I stumbled upon something that promised the best of both worlds... a way to "Git-ify" our SVN workflow. Let me tell you how git svn changed everything.

#100DaysOfSwiftUI
In the first two parts of "100DaysOfSwiftUI", we explored the fundamental building blocks of Swift - variables, data types, control flow, loops, functions, and closures. Now, we're ready to dive into a crucial aspect of Swift programming: structs and classes. These powerful tools allow us to create custom data structures that organize and represent real-world objects in our code. Understanding structs and classes is essential for building complex and modular applications in SwiftUI, and they will empower you to create more powerful and robust iOS apps. Let's learn about it!

#100DaysOfSwiftUI
I'm diving headfirst into the "100 Days of SwiftUI" challenge by Paul Hudson, and I'm thrilled to be on this journey of discovery. But before I can create dazzling iOS apps, I know that building a strong foundation in Swift is crucial. This blog series, which I'm calling "100DaysOfSwiftUI," is my way of sharing my learning journey with you, especially those who are new to Swift. We'll explore the fundamental building blocks of this powerful language together. In this first part, we'll tackle the core concepts of variables, data types, string interpolation, and enums. These seemingly simple elements are the pillars upon which we'll build more complex and powerful applications in SwiftUI. So buckle up, grab your coffee (or your preferred drink!), and let's embark on this journey together! We'll cover the basics in a clear and engaging way, and by the end, you'll have a solid grasp of the foundational concepts that will empower you to start crafting your own iOS apps.
