Xcode 8 has a new control for "update frames" that can be used rather than the old menu or resolve layout constraints control.

All lesson copy and images should be reviewed and possibly updated.

I had originally had a photorealistic iPhone device frame around the app screenshots on the first page of every lesson plan. This was removed to align with content licensing. I do have some original art that can replace this.

The best time to re-add this component to the documents and Pages template is when we redo them all due to the font issue.

Also see the related presentations issue, as we had similar imagery there.

There's a little copy there that describes @IBAction as a keyword - it's not a Swift keyword, and we should fix this to be completely accurate. @IBAction is an attribute.

Xcode 7 was officially released last week and along with it Swift 2.0. However, example Xcode projects provided by this course are written in Swift 1.x.

Do you advise:

• allowing Xcode to convert the projects on opening them, with the risk of discrepancies between presentations and example code
• leaving the projects as they are, with the risk of some of them giving errors or failing to build
• waiting for the course material to be updated

These docs rely on Myriad Pro, which is not available on the average machine. We need to change the font to something else (e.g. Helvetica) in all existing docs and the Pages template.

You can't invalidate the NSTimer in deinit, as deinit is never called since the NSTimer has a strong reference to the target, the controller.

Invalidate the timer in something else, like viewDidDisappear.

(Thanks Chris Hubert!)

See SwiftEducation/Clock#4

See SwiftEducation/Flashcards#3

Replace fileprivate with private. See SwiftEducation/SpaceAdventure#9

We need a translation of the materials for Spanish.

/cc @zerausolrac

New terminology and storyboard autolayout features may require an update to the copy in lesson 1.

Lesson 6: private -> fileprivate, underscore for external param name (responsetoprompt, visit)

Lessons 6 and 11 (?) I believe.

I think the first point of Materials should be:
• Flashlight Xcode Project

The name of this menu option has changed and should be updated.

Hi everyone. I have to ask, where can be Level 5 Zombie Simulator found?

@ybakos very nice material.

I would like to use some presentations and examples in my next courses.

For that I need the presentations and the lesson-material in German. So I start to translate the first slides.

I would like to have the slides in 16:9.

You published the presentation template. For Swift Apple uses the orange color. But in your slides the color is different. Isn’t it better to use always the orange color.

Are there naming conventions?

What is about the copyright issue?
Is this okay?
"Namensnennung-NichtKommerziell-Weitergabe unter gleichen Bedingungen 4.0 International License, Original Yong Bakos, Übersetzung Tammo Ricklefs."

But I am not familiar with github.

I would like to start with the translation, but how do I make the material available.

On p.3, change

•Implement a prepareForSegue:sender: method in the FlashcardController class

to

•Implement a prepareForSegue:sender: method in the TermController class

I think this might forbid certain types of commercial + educational use, for example:

• Using content at conferences / presentations where attendees bought a ticket

• Using content to train employees at a for-profit software company

Can you comment on these uses? If you think they should be acceptable, perhaps you could explicitly say that in the licensing section?

It will be easier to switch different branch then to download each project from releases tags.
i.e. Instead of downloading 11 files and project for each Lesson we can easily switch branch. https://github.com/SwiftEducation/UnitConverter/releases

Tag is good for each lesson but I feel branch will be equally good as well.

We need a level 5 (?) project that focuses on unit testing and ui testing.
Perhaps with a pre-built app with a failing test, and a new feature that requires writing a test first, etc.

In Found Lesson 3, we guide students in making a change in AppDelegate.swift. This presents an opportunity to discuss the app life cycle, callbacks, what the app delegate is, and the meaning of @UIApplicationMain.

Would require a content change and a corresponding presentation. This change would not affect the Found project.

This is for Swift 2.0.

This will need updated a la Swift 2.

What are the plans for updating to Xcode 8 / Swift 3?

The website appears to have a few problems with different screen sizes. The ones I picked up on was 1) in IE there is always a horizontal scroll bar 2) if you shrink down firefox's (maybe other browsers as well) window the content will stop scaling. Have not tested on iOS devices, but I would guess that it would break on those because of this issue.

I probably can't contribute to the actual content of this project, but would be more than happy to take a shot at cleaning up these visual bits.

On p.3, for TermController class, change

var card: Flashcard?

to

var flashcard: Flashcard?

The behavior of IB has changed in Xcode 8, and the layout scenario needs adjusted overall, but the most important issue is the steps after the rotation toward the end of the lesson.

I believe Stopwatch Lesson 13 introduces optionals and computed properties, and students could be better prepared if we introduce a computed property in Lesson 8, to encapsulate planetarySystem.planets.count.

This requires changing Stopwatch Lesson08.pages, and updating tags 9 - 15 in SwiftEducation/SpaceAdventure.

This control has been renamed in Xcode 8.

teaching-app-dev-swift/Level 2/Clock/Clock Lesson04.pages
clock!.currentTime

I removed some accurate screenshots from the docs to ensure compliance with our open source license, and in their place I put simple placeholder images. I'd like to place more accurate representations of the running apps, without being photorealistic.

This affects lesson plans in EasyBrowser, Found, and the Level 3 overview.

In Deck class, change

var randomCard -> Flashcard? {

to

var randomCard: Flashcard? {

For example, Chris Hulbert has already begun to create some:

getln was a stopgap for early versions of the Swift Standard Library, which has supported readLine:stripNewLine for a while now.
