Be sure to also ”Apple’s Swift Playgrounds can help you learn to code, but it’s no HyperCard” at the bottom of your linked page. There is a quote there that made be laugh in recognition of its painful truth:
Quote
"Coding is bloody hard. Anyone who says otherwise is a gullible idiot, hopelessly out of touch, or possibly a high-functioning psychopath." -- Keith Martin, a senior lecturer at the University of the Arts London

Jim's link works just fine. ;) It's a different article than the one you're linking to, Kimmer, and updated since it was first written in 2012.

“Too many hands... links...?!” :laughhard: I didn’t have time to fix the link yesterday so I just deleted it!  :blush-anim-cl:

Amazing what we called “high resolution” images back then!! 96 dpi!!!  :WOW:

Hope you have restful and memorable Memorial Day. Certainly have a great neighbor to our north!! Hopefully America will always remember we have lots of ‘neighbors’ on this planet and we need every one of them.
