Dat feeling when you finally debug something that's been screwed up in your code.

No question… just an insanely great feeling to get as a newb.

And you realize it was a missing semicolon the whole time...

It's always an awesome feeling to be able to get things troubleshot, I can definitely concur as a fellow newbie. :)

Through the Objective-C courses I had a few times where I would stare at my code for hours because something wasn't working quite right but technically nothing was breaking either (so there weren't any error messages to hunt down). It took me two days of hunting and searching for why my row selection wasn't working... turns out that I had accidentally used didDeselectRowAtIndex instead of didSelectRowAtIndex. Sometimes auto-complete is not your friend....

Bruh. Daniel Templin, what do you think of the Objective-c track so far. Idk whether to try that one out or the Swift one.

The Objective-C course is really good I think, and a lot of the skills you get in it apply to Swift development (on top of that, ObjC and Swift are interoperable so you could build out your app immediately without touching the Swift track). Right now the Swift track is very, very lean; I haven't touched the Weather app that appears to get into more advanced things like network requests, but for getting a handle on programming for iOS the ObjC course simply just has a more matured track with more projects.

Try both out! It doesn't hurt to learn both, and you can always pop in and out of tracks. :)
