From Thinkful to Udacity

I am finishing up my first Swift app for Thinkful, and in looking at Swift programs and courses to take next settled on Udacity.

Why?

There are many reasons.  I got a great start in Swift at Thinkful and I am very grateful.  Udacity will help me continue that growing as an App Developer, by covering topics such as networking with native iOS tools, in-depth debugging, and CoreData.

I have completed their mini-course on Swift Syntax, and am working on the first project for the iOS track, Pitch Perfect.  I have learned about AVFoundation and how to manipulate sound files.  I have also learned  how to create app icons and use images in my app.  The concept of UINavigationController is also clearer now for me than it was before.

I look forward to honing my Swift skills over the next few months! :)
