And it gets even better… 🤯

Once you've subscribed for 18 months, you get immediate access to the Swift Career Accelerator curriculum, which is the world's largest collection of tutorials for Swift developers at every level.

This takes tutorials from across all my books, mixes them with a collection of all-new workshops, then divides them into distinct levels based on where you are – from getting your first job to stepping into software leadership, the Swift Career Accelerator has you covered.

You also gain free online access to over a dozen of my books to expand your learning even further, including:

Pro Swift, Pro SwiftUI, Swift Design Patterns, and Testing Swift
Hacking with macOS, Hacking with tvOS, and Hacking with watchOS
Swift Coding Challenges, Objective-C for Swift Developers, and Beyond Code
Advanced iOS: Volumes 1, 2, and 3
And more!

This means your subscription grows as you do, making Hacking with Swift+ the largest and most comprehensive membership around.

Note: If you're using team licensing with at least three seats, you gain access to both the Swift Career Accelerator and the online reading library immediately rather than waiting 18 months.

Our courses include…

The Ultimate Portfolio App walks you through the process of building one app that implements best practices for architecture, accessibility, testing, documentation, and more, while also working across iOS, macOS, tvOS, and even watchOS.
Advanced Swift focuses on improving your core Swift language skills, regardless of whether you use UIKit, SwiftUI, or something else.
Algorithms helps you understand common algorithms in computer science, all implemented and explained step by step in Swift.
Custom SwiftUI Components walks you through building a wide variety of reusable UI components using SwiftUI.
Data Structures teaches you how to build stacks, lists, trees and more, while working with a variety of common Swift protocols.
Functional Programming walks you through hands-on examples of how to build smaller, composable, more testable code using functional approaches such as filter(), map(), and reduce().
High-performance Apps teaches you techniques for writing faster code, rendering faster views, and more, so you can make best use of your user's device.
Intermediate Swift is designed to help push your skills further, giving in-depth explanations for generics, optionals, assertions, and more.
Intermediate SwiftUI is packed with tips and tricks to help you write better SwiftUI code, including customizing common controls with styles, handling size classes better, and working with dynamic properties.
Making the most of Foundation goes back to the basics of Apple's Foundation framework, exploring how best to use common code such as UserDefaults and Measurement.
Networking covers a core topic in a fresh way, showing you smart ways to make your code simpler and safer using generics, Combine, and more.
Remaking Apps walks you through building copies of well-known apps from iOS using SwiftUI, showing you how easy it is to get powerful effects with very little code.
Rendering Charts in SwiftUI shows you how SwiftUI can be used to build complete types of charts from scratch, including pie charts, bar charts, and more.
SwiftUI Special Effects teaches you how to add some surprise and delight to your user interface using particles, Core Motion, and more.
Working with Data helps you get to grips with data input, such as creating a custom XML parser, or handling complex or messy JSON.

PLUS: A huge collection of solutions for challenges in the 100 Days of SwiftUI and elsewhere, a complete archive of HWS+ live streams, a free ticket to my Unwrap Live every year, and more.

FAQ

Does this subscription give me all your books?

The articles produced for Hacking with Swift+ are all new and exclusive to subscribers, but after subscribing for 18 months you'll also gain free online access to over a dozen of my books. This means your subscription grows as you do, making Hacking with Swift+ the largest and most comprehensive subscription around.

Can I share one account with my whole team?

No, this is not allowed – each member of your team needs their own subscription, just like they would need their own Netflix or Apple Music accounts. If you want your whole team to have a Hacking with Swift+ account, please change the number of licensed seats upwards from 1 when subscribing.

How is a team subscription different from an individual subscription?

When you subscribe with at least three seats, all members of your team gain immediate access to the Hacking with Swift reading library, rather than waiting 18 months – that's over a dozen of my books to maximise your team's learning.

What happens in the monthly live streams?

Every Hacking with Swift+ subscriber is invited to join my private monthly live streams on YouTube, where I build a complete app from scratch while answering questions along the way. This is your chance to get involved and explore projects being written live, and these streams are always hugely popular.

What happens if I miss a live stream?

All live streams are recorded, and posted onto the main Hacking with Swift+ site afterwards. Even better, they include a full transcript alongside, so if you prefer text tutorials to video tutorials you have that option.

How do I remove adverts from the site?

Every subscriber can enjoy an ad-free experience on Hacking with Swift – all you need to do is log in, and the site will automatically remove the adverts. To give you the fastest reading experience, we also remove the gray bar under the menu, plus the right-hand bar that sits next to every article.

Is Hacking with Swift+ suitable for absolute beginners?

If you're an absolute beginner you should start with my free 100 Days of SwiftUI course, which teaches you the fundamentals of Swift and SwiftUI. However, Hacking with Swift+ includes complete solutions to all the checkpoints and milestones in the 100 Days of SwiftUI series, making it the perfect companion as you're learning.

What's more, Hacking with Swift+ will grow with you once you've finished learning – it has a wide range of intermediate to advanced Swift techniques and tutorials that will keep pushing your skills further, no matter what your goal.

Some sites claim to have thousands of videos – why is HWS+ better?

Hacking with Swift+ focuses firmly on two things:

Giving you the depth you need to get a strong grasp of each topic. Where other sites make hundreds of three or four minute videos that touch lightly on each subject, we prefer to go into much more detail – 20 or 30 minutes, and often longer – so you get to understand why things work as well as how.
We teach Swift, Swift, and more Swift. We don't do Kotlin, we aren't interested in Dart, we won't try to squeeze in Flutter, and you won't find any React Native. That's not to say those other technologies aren't interesting, only that you're here to take your Swift skills further and that's exactly what we care about most.

How much does it cost?

Hacking with Swift+ costs $20 a month, $200 a year, or $400 every 2 years, per person. Your membership includes all subscriber-only videos and articles available now and published in the future, for as long as your membership remains active. You can cancel your membership at any time, and your access will continue until your term ends.

What's the difference between Monthly and Yearly subscriptions?

Hacking with Swift+ is $20 per month, and you can cancel whenever you want. If you intend to work through many articles and really push your learning forward, you should consider the yearly or 2-yearly subscription options, which are $200/year or $400/2-years – a saving of $40 every year.

All tiers get access to exactly the same high-quality videos, articles, and source code, but with a 2-year subscription you gain immediate access to the complete Swift Career Accelerator and online reading library.

Are there exercises?

Yes! Many Hacking with Swift+ articles end with challenges to help you take your learning further – code to try, problems to solve, questions to consider, and more.

Why do I need a Hacking with Swift account?

Your Hacking with Swift account links your Gumroad purchase to this site, so we can unlock your subscription. This account also allows you to post to the forums if you want to.

Can I switch from a Monthly to Yearly subscription?

Yes, you can upgrade at any time, and we'll discount the annual subscription based on how much of your monthly subscription remains.

How can I cancel my subscription?

If at any point you want to cancel your Hacking with Swift+ subscription, you can do so directly through your Gumroad account. Your access to the subscriber-only content will remain active until your subscription term ends, at which point it will cease.

Your Hacking with Swift+ subscription will renew until cancelled. If you intend to cancel, please sure you do so through Gumroad at least 24 hours before your subscription ends, to avoid being caught out by time zones.

Will there be sales tax or VAT added to the price?

If you live in a country or state where tax is applied to digital purchases, that will be added to your subscription price. As you might imagine there isn't a lot I can do about that.

Will you still make free tutorials?

Yes, absolutely! I believe it's important to help everyone learn, so I will still be publishing as many free tutorials as I can. This won't be affected by Hacking with Swift+.

Here's a sample of what's waiting for you…

When would you choose an environment object over an observed object?
