iOS CS 193P Assignment 3 did I miss something ?

[Tex-Twil]

Hi,
I've been following the great CS193P lectures and arrived to the Lecture 4 / Assignment 3.

The Assignment pdf has only 2 pages and seems to me much advanced (customs UIViews, ...) as the previous one (which had a step by step walkthrough). So I am wondering .. did I miss something ?

I could off course try doing it but I just don't want to miss any precious information from that class.

Thanks,
Tex

Looks by the subject matter that you want to watch lecture 5. And yes, the assignment sheet is two pages.

T.T

Watch ALL of the lecture videos.

Take notes while you do it.

Edit: And I mean just the videos leading up to the assignment's due date. So... for... what is 3, Hello Polly? I'd watch Lectures 1-6 + any of the bonus lectures in between.

And don't skip assignments. There was a week where I didn't have the time to do the assignments, but I kept watching the videos. I had to backtrack and re watch a lot when I tried starting the assignments again.

Well, have fun. CS 193P is an extremely useful online class for learning iPhone programming. Its only rivals are the official C book (The C Programming Language is the title I believe...) and Apple's official documentations.

Yes those lectures are great.

ok, so I watched the Views lectures and it is much clearer now.

... I started implementing the assignment and I see that it says:

1. Create a custom UIView subclass that will display your PolygonShape object
2. GIve your view class access to the PolygonShape object so that it can retrieve the details
of the polygon as needed

Isn't this exactly what should not happen in a MVC framework ? The PolygonView (view) has a direct reference to he PolygonShape (model)

So does anyone have an answer for this question. I just got stuck with that now too.
