Hi Kelly, I do share the same feeling as you.

I read a lot of articles of miscellaneous frameworks nevertheless, I tend to forget after 1 week. If one does not practice one does not remember (now I understand teachers wanted us to write everything on our notepads back in school).

Firstly, I tried compiling a few notes of each concept and/or framework into a Evernote notepad. However, one has to be really discipline in order to keep it somewhat organised.

Once again, just like you, I am trying to come up with some app idea where I can apply what I learn. Hopefully soon I will have a "spark"

Hi,

I can say at this point, that you shouldn't wait for the "spark". Start with a simple crm like me, if you are out of ideas. Use it to practice the concepts or frameworks you would like to learn. Just start. For me, for the frameworks I had never used before like swift, just the setup was "complicated", given the fact that the code generated by xcode did not work properly tests wise. Was xcode wrong? I had done something wrong? At that point I could not tell. Just that was learning. So, just start.
