SOLVED: Why do the "100DaysOfSwift" if there is "100DaysOfSwiftUI"?

Forums > 100 Days of Swift
@CodeRaySantos  

With Apple shifting its Swift framework emphasis from UIKit to SwiftUI, if you're doing the "100DaysOfSwift" course track then why aren't you instead doing the "100DaysOfSwiftUI" track?

I ask because last week I started work on the "100DaysOfSwift" course (currently on Day 7) and saw that on Day 16 the course heads the UIKit direction.

I'll be switching to the "100DaysOfSwiftUI" course on Day 16, based on Paul Hudson's core iOS path of first learning the Swift language and afterwards learning SwiftUI.

Was curious why, as of this writing, there are people who choose to continue working through "100DayOfSwift" with its UIKit framework emphasis.

Because UIKit isn't going anywhere for a while. SwiftUI may be the future, but it will be years before it completely supplants UIKit/AppKit/etc. Someone learning Swift for the purposes of getting a job as an iOS developer will have to know how to work with UIKit for some time to come.

And Apple is still making updates and introducing new features to the older frameworks, so they aren't putting them out to pasture just yet.

Thanks @roosterboy. I found this particular line that you wrote, "Someone learning Swift for the purposes of getting a job as an iOS developer will have to know how to work with UIKit for some time to come." an important one.

I'm learning Swift for the purposes of getting a job as an iOS developer in the traditional corporate workforce, so staying on the "100DaysOfSwift" path is the best choice for my particular iOS goal.

BUILD THE ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO APP Most Swift tutorials help you solve one specific problem, but in my Ultimate Portfolio App series I show you how to get all the best practices into a single app: architecture, testing, performance, accessibility, localization, project organization, and so much more, all while building a SwiftUI app that works on iOS, macOS and watchOS.
