This week was fairly productive despite a few setbacks. An overall workflow is becoming clearer for me and I’m confident that I’ll still be able to meet my delivery date of end of February.

Learning Cocoa (iOS/macOS):

Work load didn’t allow me to move forward with CloudKit and In-App Purchase (which will get pushed back into early February). I took a deeper dive into sharing code by way of the DTSEssentials framework.

Reading has been a total bust. I’ve just not made any time to do it. I’m constantly reading web articles and technical documentation but haven’t set aside any time for long form reading. I’m going to actually schedule reading time this week instead of waiting of it to appear.
