Five Days

It has been a good week. I have been able to devote all of it (well, almost all of it — today has not been adequately distraction-free) to study. I spent several pointless, but (mostly) useful hours yesterday building on one of the examples in the book I've been using, just to see if there was a way to do what I thought ought to be done. I accomplished almost everything I tried — I just couldn't get the scroll-back-to-bottom view to animate when the keyboard disappears. (For some reason this particular bit didn't have an "animate" function, and I finally had to give up trying to work around that. There are ways around the problem, and I tried several, but nothing did what I wanted.)

What I'm hoping for is to be able to understand just enough to be able to fix the (many) mistakes I make, and if not to ask the right questions, to be able to find the answers.
