I am getting it. Really I am. I worked through four of the 5 tabs in the UITabController chapter #7. I get the pattern, I get the flow, and I understand what is going on. I can't see myself creating this from scratch but then again, why should I? One day it will come to me naturally. Remember, I am still trying to get Objective-C and protocols and things of that nature. I do get them a lot more now. When I read the Objective-C book I was wondering, what were all these protocols but now with the delegating and such going on, I see the huge reason for them. I mean, I like them. It precludes the need to create class methods and they are already ready passing data.
Tomorrow I plan on refinishing chapter 7. I am glad I spent a week or so going back in time. It was the right move. I am glad I took the time to decipher every bit of delegate method code because I really did not understand it before. Although I get what it does, it is still not intuitive. My confusion is how the delegate populates the entire picker without a loop. I guess it does but it took me awhile to reconcile that that is what happens. I am sure I will be hitting more of these over the next few days.
When I am through with chapter 7, I think I will still face chapter 8 with trepidation. It was my confusion with that chapter that sent me back all the way to chapter 3.
