Just going to slog through it

One step at a time. And it isn't going to be pretty. What I am talking about is creating my first actual application. So far, none of the books has been overly helpful. Sure, they have good information in them, but for the most part, they just aren't helpful to me. So I have decided to try and grab what I need from examples and tutorials and cobble something together. If I can do that, perhaps I can then fine tune it into a project that is actually interesting. Sadly, for some reason, I am having a problem accessing Apple's Developer information. I don't understand what the issue is. They want me to a) sign up with a different ID than the one I am already using and b) to pay $99. A year. So, since they aren't playing nice, I am going to the non-Apple internet to find my answers. And so far, the answers are starting to show up. As I slog, I will make little updates on my progress. I am not guaranteeing anything, as this is a hit and miss sort of process. It took me 20 minutes to add icons to my file. And to make some basic changes in a file that demonstrates how to flip a graphic. Next up, trying to figure out how to flip a graphic. Wish me luck!

Found it on the internet! Exactly the code I was looking for: a piece of code that told me how to place an image where I wanted an image placed. Yippee! Next, trying to figure out how to make the graphic flip when I click on it, not when I click a button...Yay!
