Swift Programming 101

Edison Ade — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 00:51:50 +0000

Ten years ago, in July of 2010, Chris Lattner created a folder on his computer called
Shiny, and a new computer language was born. Four years later, in 2014, that language, renamed Swift, was introduced to the public, and was greeted with a mixture of surprise and excitement — and skepticism.

A complete Swift command is a statement .
A Swift text file consists of multiple lines of text. Line breaks are meaningful. The typical layout of a program is one statement.

var greeting = "Hello, playground"

The print command provides instant feedback in the Xcode console.
You can combine more than one statement on a line, but then you need to put a semicolon between them:

print("hello"); print("world")

Let in Swift is a constant to declare variables and cannot be reassigned.

Should i learn Svelte?

What is Node JS ?

Edison Ade — Sat, 12 Jun 2021 21:48:42 +0000

Node.js is a very popular open source javascript runtime environment which is used to develop network applications. Node JS has gained massive popularity and now is used by thousands of developers all over the world for server-side programming.

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses event-driven, non-blocking I/O for file system access, networking, and other API calls, allowing it to support thousands of concurrent connections with near-zero programming latency.

You can make really cool real-time web applications using Node Js. There are a whole bunch of libraries and modules available to help you achieve this.

Node JS is a fast growing platform for running JS based applications outside of the browser.

Node JS has rocked the world of web application and making some big waves in the tech market. It’s been around for quite some time back in 2009 but is now widely used. (Initial release May 27, 2009)

Simple lists in Flutter

Edison Ade — Sun, 06 Sep 2020 22:20:42 +0000

Flutter includes an awesome way to display simple lists. The ListView widget. Everything in Flutter is a widget. Writing text, you need the Text widget, rows and columns you will need a Row or Column widget.

Once you get the concept of widgets in Flutter life becomes easy. www.flutter.dev also boast of great documentation.

The ListView widgets is a standard way to display a list containing few items. The ListView also includes the ListTitle widget that contains properties like leading, title and other properties serving as visual structure to a list of data.

Here is a code sample of a simple list:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(
      home: MyList(),
    ));

class MyList extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final myTitle = "My Contact List";
    return Scaffold(
      backgroundColor: Colors.blueGrey,
      appBar: AppBar(
          backgroundColor: Colors.black,
          title: Text(
            myTitle,
            style: TextStyle(
              fontSize: 20.0,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
          )),
      body: ListView(
        children: <Widget>[
          ListTile(
            leading: Icon(
              Icons.email,
              size: 30.0,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
            title: Text(
              'edison@outlook.com',
              style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 20.0),
            ),
          ),
          ListTile(
            leading: Icon(
              Icons.phone,
              size: 30.0,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
            title: Text(
              "01114567832",
              style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0, color: Colors.white),
            ),
          ),
          ListTile(
            leading: Icon(
              Icons.map,
              size: 30.0,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
            title: Text(
              " 1004 estates",
              style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0, color: Colors.white),
            ),
          ),
          ListTile(
            leading: Icon(
              Icons.apps,
              size: 30.0,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
            title: Text("My apps",
                style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20.0, color: Colors.white)),
          )
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

Final Result:

I started learning Java

Edison Ade — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 00:19:17 +0000

I downloaded Java here:

And then i am using Intellij IDE from Jetbrains.
Download here

I wrote my first Java program 2 days ago. I am doing this with the #100DaysOfCode on Twitter. To track my progress.

What i have learnt so far.

Every Java program must have at least one function.
The functions don’t exist on their own. It must always belong to a class.
A class is a container for related functions.
Every Java program must have at least one Class that holds the main function
Then we need Access modifiers in Java.

What are access modifiers?
They help set boundaries to the scope of a class, constructor , variable, or method.

For my first Java program. I will only be interested in the "Public" access modifier.

package com.codewitedison;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to my first Java Program);
    }
}

Intellij makes it really easy. So it came with the Java boilerplate that set the public class main and the public static void main lines. I only added the System.out.println and print message. System.out is a way to print results to the terminal.

What is the benefit of Homebrew?

Edison Ade — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 00:43:03 +0000

I recently succumbed to the pressure of coding with a Mac.
Everything seems pretty new here. Well Visual Studio Code, Chrome and some stuff remain the same.

But i need help with a few things. Like why do i need Brew?

Is JavaScript Synchronous or Asynchronous?

Please share your thoughts on this. Someone might learn from your submission.

I just tried Stackbit (JamStack)

Edison Ade — Fri, 03 Jan 2020 23:14:28 +0000

https://www.stackbit.com/
Took me less than five minutes to get a website started. With about 30 minutes of work, this is what it looks like right now.
https://agriprohub-fb089.netlify.com/

Jamstack is truly the future. This was done with Zero code.
It automatically created a git repository, set up my netlify cms (you can use contentful if you prefer that), run build time on netlify host, I chose Gatsby as my site generator( i love gatsby)

Anyone here tried Stackbit? Would love to get your thoughts.
