Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
UICollectionView---Extension
This is a UICollectionView starter project (Xcode 8.2.1), written in Swift 3.0, highlighting the use of Swift extensions to improve code readability, extensibility, and maintainability. Feel free to use it as a template for building out a complete UICollectionView user interface. Build and run this code in the Simulator or on an iPhone and see that you can add, select/highlight, deselect/unhighlight, and remove UICollectionViewCell's. You can select, deselect, add, and remove one cell at a time, or multiple cells at a time. I demonstrate the importance of the relationship between a UICollectionView and its data source, and the importance of keeping a UICollectionView and its data source synchronized. I also emphasize the importance of dividing and conquering code to improve its readability, extensibility, and maintainability.
