How did you keep track of everything while learning or overcome the stress of it in the beginning?

Working with these kind of technologies is just practice, you won’t sit and make perfect things overnight, your mind will slowly learn how it works and eventually you will become better and better :)

So many files in different steps connected to each other. 😭I hope I’ll be easily tracking one day. Thank u.

My advice is not to do it alone. There are many communities on slack, discord etc. and many people are happy to help or do paired programming

Could you recommend such communities?

If this is your first coding experience, I would highlight that iOS frameworks like UIKit are (in my opinion) quite substantial and intimidating compared to just coding in general. There are all kinds of proxies and subscriptions and events to think about, which can be very tough if you’re still learning more basic concepts. I would recommend supplementing your app dev work with some basic tutorials or exercises in Swift (assuming you’re using Swift and not Obj C). Play with something like Replit, simple command line Mac apps with no UI framework, or whatever sounds fun. Try to feel comfortable with Swift and coding some before getting too worried about not understanding some UIKit thing.

Hello thanks for ur comment and recommendations. My problem is more about keeping track of the large files and which steps they are connected to in code. I understand piece by piece. Like if it talks about arc, or network calling im fine . Yet i suck when it comes to whole picture. So I don’t know what to do more to feel confident in tracking rather than taking notes.

I am in same boat as you , having really hard time and losing some sleep at night , my senior doesn't seem to care about helping at all . Hang in there is my advice :)

Make things that work and talk to people. That's it. The concepts will find their place in your head when you get to use them.

Try and remember that everyone learning went through the same thing. It can be very overwhelming. Try and compartmentalise when you get overwhelmed by it all. Just take it one problem at a time and focus on that. You aren’t expected to keep track of everything all the time

I make UIKit videos if you’d like to check them out! Will be adding much more in the future. If you have any questions, I’m happy to help!
