For people to keep learning especially programming
When I was at the Apple Developer Academy, I worked with one of my team members, an iOS Developer who was 59 years old.
I’ve read lines of code and worked with many programmers. When I worked with him, I was surprised that the code he wrote was very clean and neat, even though his last coding experience was many years ago.
He is also very diligent in applying the tech collaboration guideline that I have created. This is very different from some of the young developers I know.
I remember when I…

Safe environment app for people with depression
In indonesia, Based on data from 2018, 28 million people out of 267 million people having mental health disorder. It means 1 out of 10 Indonesian suffer from mental health problem.

And the truth is… this only can make it worst.
I’ll tell you about my friend…
What is the problem we need to tackle?
Based on our investigation, the main problem faced by Deaf Community is communication:
“Between the Deaf and Hearing people have difficulties when interacting with each other, including in an emergency situation”.
Imagine when you are in a dangerous situation, but you cannot hear and you can’t even speak. How do you ask for help? Even Indonesia’s emergency call system does not accommodate you as Deaf.

With our application, you can inform your surroundings that you are in danger. …
My First Solo Challenge in Apple Developer Academy
In Academy, we use learning framework called CBL “Challenge Based Learning” to solve real-world challenges. But in this journal I will not explain more about CBL. Instead, I will share you my solution to my friend’s problem on my frist (one week) solo challenge.
ENGAGE
During this Engage Phase, we will move from an abstract big idea to a concrete and actionable challenge using the Essential Questioning process. The goal is to personally connect with academic content through the identification, development, and ownership of a compelling challenge.

How to help my friend through the academy journey?

I was a bit curious about SwiftUI because its declarative syntax is quite similar with React and Vue, but because I was quite busy sharpening my skill on UX Research, I didn’t have enough time to learn and implement it. So in previous challenge in Academy, I learn SwiftUI framework.
SwiftUI
SwiftUI is an innovative, exceptionally simple way to build user interfaces across all Apple platforms with the power of Swift. Build user interfaces for any Apple device using just one set of tools and APIs. With a declarative Swift syntax that’s easy to read and natural to write, SwiftUI works…
