Week 2 Here We Go Ok week 2 has started for this class and it's already done, in terms of things I need to do... It's only week 2 so the material is still trivial, however I expected it to be not as basic as it is. The focus of this week was practicing Swift programming (which I already got a jumpstart last week) and this was done using XCodePlaygrounds. Playgrounds is a quick to setup environment to do quick programming.

I can immediately recall the dread of those long nights staying up until 4am trying to figure out how to get Bluetooth headphones to work with our app and deal with all the different states or when I first started and I was told to figure out Apple...
