Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
Challenges included understanding the some of the code that was written for the sake of the project. I understand that this is just an initial look at Swift but it's nice to know that there's still so much to learn. I had some issues getting some of the IBOutlets to work properly but I was able to figure it out.
