Here’s the highlights of last nights live stream where I work on an attributed string display bug in my macOS application. Yep, even us professionals get it wrong some times and have to resort to trial and error, or to quote myself in the video
“What do you know, it worked!”
Setting up Xcode 11 to work with GitHub and repositories is much easier than previous versions. In this video I’ll walk you through setting it all up and getting started.
Interesting news from the most well known coding repository. GitHub has acquired NPM which I’m not sure yet but feel this might be a good thing.
npm is joining GitHub https://github.blog/2020-03-16-npm-is-joining-github/
Wow, I only just noticed that this is my 10th year on GitHub. It feels like a milestone of putting it out there.
There’s a little of everything from CSS and HTML, to ActionScript and Flash components, to Swift and Bash scripts. I do enjoy trying and sharing new things with the World.
Switching Visual Studio Code and Xcode over to the JetBrains Mono font today to see how well it works for me.
I prefer mono-spaced fonts for code editing, maybe it’s OCD or it just reads better to my old eyes.
I have been trying to make a game object follow a path in my Unity game I am working on and this video answered all my questions and made life so much easier, not to mention that the package is available for anyone to use.
Thank you Sebastian Lague and full credit to you.
The package on GitHub can be found here
The package on the Unity store can be found here
A great podcast episode for anyone interested in getting into game making. overcast.fm

Why not say Hi!
It has been a very long and interesting day. I have worked through the night and well in to today working on the Leaderboard system for my CashOnTap Mobile game. https://cashontapgame.com for those that are interested.
Right now I only have the Android build in the release cycle, but the iOS version is well into the testing stage.
You can expect a write up once I have it all figured out and working, this knowledge of how to make it work will be interesting to many game developers I am sure.
DeveloperTip: Need to know what npm packages you have installed globally?
$npm list -g --depth 0
#nodejs #npm #devtips
Swift is my favorite language of the past few years and the foreseeable future. However that is not all that interests me for mobile development. Like any good developer, I’m always willing to look at other technologies. So React Native has my attention…expect more posts on it
New and old developers will get something out of this 37 tip 15 minute Podcast by Sean Allen, so much good information. Run, don’t walk your ears over to it now and listen.
Well I tried something new, live streaming as I worked on code for my Web site. Not as terrifying as it first appeared, no audio on this one but if you are interested in GatsbyJS and GraphQL, you might like to watch the reply.
SwiftUI is something that I could tell from the announcement was going to change the nightmare that is storyboards and constraints when developing for the Apple platforms.
As my teams start to look at iOS 13 support, I felt it was time to start sharing some of the things that I’ve learned during my testing and exploration.
Today I put out a video showing how you can do a Master / Detail view using SwiftUI. This also demonstrates how to changes views using SwiftUI, and it has to be said, the code is super easy compared to UIKit.
I write a lot of things about Apple Swift, here is an updated version (video) of one of my most popular posts.
