Either everyone Johnny B here with slopes dot com and I just want to welcome you to this section that
we're going to be working on a chat app ask them to be really cool and we got a lot of features and
a lot of things that we're going to learn.
So I'm just going to show you real quick.
Here it is.
And we're calling it smack OK.
And so first off we're going to log in and we have here a pretty sweet slide side menu that we're going
to be building using S-W reveal which is a very popular well supported library.
So we got this and you can log in.
So when I log in here and say e at the dot com This is just some test accounts that I created while
I was testing put on our password.
And so we got authentication for creating and logging in users.
And the main thing that we're going to be working on are one of the main things that we're talking about
is how to work with API.
As a developer.
OK.
So not necessarily coding the actual API is but interfacing with them and learning how to how to use
them well right.
So the API that we're going to be using in this section is one that we actually coded in-house and that
you guys will have access to all right.
Something that the press log in when we log in and we have different channels here so our API supports
different channels.
And so we can click here in the general channel and you can see here we have all these messages.
And so we can send messages that toggle the software keyboard and you can see that that shifts up the
whole.
I have to say hello students.
I'm going to send that and there you go.
You see them right there.
So that's pretty sweet.
You can also add different channels to what to say.
Deb Sloan is the place to learn to create that channel and you'll see that it pops up right here.
And so this is pretty pretty cool.
And the really cool thing is that this actually works in real time with other devices that are running
the same app.
In fact indeed my course that I teach we we create we create a Mac app for working with chat that can
actually work with the same one and we'll see that a little bit later on.
So it's a it's a really cool app I'm excited to get into it with you guys.
We're going to be working with API like I said table views collection views socket technology which
is what enables the real time talking creating users.
In fact I didn't show you that was good and log out.
Am I really here.
Real quick here's what to say log out and you can create users.
If you don't have an account sign up here and can put in your information and this thing I think is
pretty cool so you can pick an avatar.
And so we got some animals here that you can pick an avatar to be your to be your avatar image.
And so a click on here say maybe this chameleon here and then you can generate background colors.
And yes I can pick you a randomly generated background color So some pretty cool stuff.
I'm going have a lot of fun.
It's going to be a big section All right.
So strap in and let's get going.
See you in the next one.
