I have been doing Apple’s SwiftUI Tutorial [developer.apple.com] this past week whenever I have had a small timeslot between work things.

I must say that the SwiftUI approach is a lot better than the old Storyboard approach. Also, it has the preview feature where you can see the changes you make pretty much in real time. That will make one’s life a lot easier.

Once I have finished this tutorial, I might end up doing the Jetpack Compose tutorial for Android. I have seen some Compose stuff in the app we do, and it looks pretty amazing as well.

There were couple of cases where the code block to be added was tens of rows long, and in those cases I cheated and copy-pasted the code in.
