Learning to Code

There are certain problems I have with software – problems that are not solved the way I want them solved, so I’ve finally bit the bullet, and started learning a bit of programming. The most difficult part about it, is trying to deal with the learning tools; in this case Swift Playgrounds.

It lacks tooltips for all its buttons. The function to stop the program while running doesn’t actually stop the program. The app itself is unstable and crash-prone. But, for all that, I’m having a lot of fun pushing my brain in a way I haven’t had to in a while, and learning new things.

Also, I have to admit being tickled pink at being able to name functions like this, for comedy value.
