I am a software developer with a passion for learning and sharing. I also take photographs and make Podcasts.
SwiftUI is emerging as a good way to build screens for Apple based platforms like iOS/iPadOS/macOS. It is a declarative language that simplifies the building of responsive views in applications. In this episode Iโll explain what it is and give a couple of examples. I really recommend checking out the links below for more details and plenty of visual examples.

Any time I look to start or rebuild a personal project I see it as a reason to try and learn something new. I am rebuilding my photography site from the ground up. So that gave me a good reason to look at NextJS as my static site builder and find out what all the buzz is about.
In this episode I share my thoughts on working from knowing almost nothing to having a working site using NextJS to build it.

I know what you are thinking, this is the same episode as the last one? That is true and yes it is intentional. The reason for this is I can only refine my process of creation by testing it.
In particular the use of chapter markers in an episode, so hopefully I can learn from this and beg your forgiveness for the repeat.

It all starts with nothing, or in this case an episode zero. Something that is almost the birth cry of every podcast.
So in this short introduction I will say a little about who I am, what I do and what this is all going to be about.
The short version, Web and App development. Gaming, design, user interaction and producing content in many forms including how I make podcasts and videos to share with the World.
