Due to the way my weekend went (I should point out this is not a euphemism for "I partied all weekend" but usually "My time was a commodity for other people") I really only got to work on my stopwatch the morning that it was to be handed in. This didn't bother me too much, I'd been reading a book on C. Although this is Objective-C, I felt I should be able to wing it and get it out of the way so I can continue my self-learning. I actually did surprisingly well with it. I modified it's functions and buttons and UI. I'd really have liked time to dress it up a lot more but it was functional and not ugly and I made 2 versions, because I decided to put a twist on the application. We have a holiday coming up and I can use that time to get good with C, Objective-C and iPhone app development. I need to come out of that break with a completed iPhone app worth 70%.

The rest of the week was turning up to tutorials on how to do various things with iPhones like switching views and hooking up to databases. However I felt like I was sitting in a Computer Science class that's been learning C for 6 months and started on Objective-C a month ago. Without the groundwork, it was mostly lost on me.

I continued to read Learn C on the Mac and flipped though the K&R which interests me more but I think a tutorial-type walk through dummies type book would be more applicable for someone under serious time constraints.

Friday afternoon we had to hand in our abstract for the Essay that we are to write. Given that the groundwork - my Literature Review - was so appalling, I found it a bit difficult. I'd really like to re-write it. But that wont be happening, not enough time, or really enough enthusiasm either.
