Hey everyone, I just wanted to provide an update on what has been happening lately here at Big Mountain Studio.

I have been inactive for a while because I am going through a divorce. And what to do with Big Mountain Studio was undecided up until recently.

There were many possibilities for Big Mountain Studio's future:

The good news is she accepted my offer to buy her out of her half.

This means I'm back to owning 100% of Big Mountain Studio and can now continue working on it once again! I had forgotten how much joy it brings me to help others and create educational materials.

I have resumed working on Core Data Mastery in SwiftUI. Things are a little slow right now because I have to get back into the Core Data mindset again.

I literally went back and re-read over 300 pages of the book that were already written.

Some of the book conventions were updated as a result, such as these annotations:

Someone on Twitter asked me how to sign up to get notified. And it struck me, "I never set up a way for people to get notified!"

So I created a product image and then a landing page so people could sign up to get notified now:

I'm aiming for before April! 

And yes, it could be sooner than that. But April is the latest.

The annual birthday sale is coming up soon!

My birthday is on Feb 10th and the discount is equal to the age I will be turning and this year that is 52!

So that means 52% off of:

This used to be a one-day sale but after 3 years of experience with this now I think I'm going to make it a 3-day sale because, with just one day, I get a ton of people messaging me the following days with how they were busy the day of the sale and missed it.

OK, well that's it for me. I wish everyone the best while I get back to working on Core Data Mastery with SwiftUI!

Your SwiftUI friend,
