100 Days of Swift
👋 Introduction
This project is meant to follow along with Paul Hudson’s 100 Days of Swift challenge. There are many 100 Days of Swift challenges out there in the wild, but Paul is one of the best contributors to education that the Swift community has, and when I saw him throw down the gauntlet, I couldn’t resist taking part.
As the first day of this endeavor, a brief introduction is in order. I’ve been learning Swift and iOS development for a few months now after 5 years as a (mostly) front-end web (re: JavaScript
As an unabashed polyglot who’s played with everything from JavaScript and Python to Java and CPP, Swift has been love at first line of code. While this is a topic that deserves a much larger write-up, I will say that Swift, in many ways, feels like a culmination for me — the kind of language I’ve wanted to write in for quite some time. With that in mind, I’m actually planning on Infinity days of Swift. But that’s neither here nor there: The people want 100, so I'll do my best to provide something valuable within those parameters.
Each "day" folder will contain a write-up where I'll recap the material covered, while also trying to interject my own insight, opinions, and reflections on how I'm learning and growing. Furthermore, when possible, I’ll try to include any code that was written along the way, links to relevant articles and information that I find online -- basically, whatever I can think of that's useful and relevant.
Contributing
Feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated. I'll be opening up issues to serve as discussion threads for each day. But feel free to open up your own as well.

Projects
I previously created projects alongside Hacking with Swift in a separate repository. For 100 Days of Swift, however, I've been extending things further and adding my revised projects to this repo under each "Part One" folder. I'll try to add direct links here soon
