First Public Demo

Had my first public demo of my Alpha level app last night. And I now have a timeframe. I will strive to make the app finished and done by Late October. The app is a simple idea, but I keep learning more and more things to make it valuable. I am creating a App that […]

Making Progress

As of last night, the new Alpha code, allows the users to create new records, and new related records, without crashing!! Now that’s progress. Next I need to create the delete function on the main screen, and add in the correct displaying of created related records. This requires a new screen to display the chosen […]

Debugging Core Data

One of the reasons I’ve toyed with the new app for so long (the idea is about 5 years old), has been that I am struggling to learn Core Data. Not only that, but I’ve been dealing with a ton of day job activities, etc. So I am finally getting this app started. The basic […]

A new alpha

Refactoring an app and a database at the same time, can lead to some interesting bugs. So today, I restructured my app. The good news is that the flow is more in line where I think I want it. THe bad news is, while I have enabled swipe to delete, it crashes the Alpha (after […]

Rehearsal And Programming

I am currently rehearsing for my favorite Light Opera – Ruddigore by Gilbert & Sullivan. Rehearsing is a lot of hard work. You have to learn the “rules” (blocking, lyrics, dancing, notes, and dialog). You have to practice these rules over and over until you can do them without thinking. And then magic happens, and […]

Alpha App to do list

For my testers.. thank you for your testing…. As of now, I don’t have a real name for the app, nor any real artwork.. but I do have a list of things to do: Fixed delete bug Fixed address display bug. Note right now you can only “save” the contact information. I am working on […]

Productive Day Part Two

Well, it’s not perfect, but I added core data to my app that started yesterday.  I have a simple table behind a tracking app. Now, I want to add a sub-table underneath that tracking, so things will get more interesting as I move forward.  I have run into a bit of a snag, however, when […]

Productive day

Today was pretty productive. I’ve been toying with a new app, and today I got an early alpha of it done, and posted on TestFlight for a few friends to test. It is no where near done, but learned how to submit to TestFlight for testing. Very productive.
