-
Swift Protocol/Delegate Pattern
Let’s say you have view controllers A and B. Your main view controller is A and it segues to B.

In other words, how do you pass back data between view controllers?

Creating a Personal "Chat App" Portfolio
Recently, someone asked how I made my portfolio website: http://www.granthpark.me/, so I thought I’d share some simplified markup. I used AngularJS, CSS3, and HTML5 to make my site. Here’s what the simplified version looks like.
