DATA STRUCTURES
FREE: Trees
Trees are an extraordinarily simple, extraordinarily useful data type, and in this article we’ll make a complete tree data type using Swift in just a few minutes. But rather than just stop there, we’re going to do something quite beautiful that I hope will blow your mind while teaching you something useful.

FREE: How to use phantom types in Swift
Phantom types are a powerful way to give the Swift compiler extra information about our code so that it can stop us from making mistakes. In this article I’m going to explain how they work and why you’d want them, as well as providing lots of hands-on examples you can try.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE APPS
FREE: Using memoization to speed up slow functions
In this article you’ll learn how memoization can dramatically boost the performance of slow functions, and how easy Swift makes it thanks to its generics and closures.

FREE: Creating a WaveView to draw smooth waveforms
In this article I’m going to walk you through building a WaveView with SwiftUI, allowing us to create beautiful waveform-like effects to bring your user interface to life.

MAKING THE MOST OF FOUNDATION
Using dates safely and effectively
Working with dates in software is hard, and if you don’t understand why then think about time zones, think about leap years, or think about how it’s the year 2563 in the Thai calendar. Apple gives us many tools for making them easier but they can be hard to discover, so in this article I’m going to try to provide some clear guidance for what to use and when.

The pros and cons of operator overloading
I’ve written about operator overloading previously, not least in my book Pro Swift, but in the article I want to go into more depth on the places where it’s really useful – and the places where it’s not such a good idea.

INTERMEDIATE SWIFTUI
Creating a TabbedSidebar that handles both tab view and sidebar
If you want your app to work well on larger devices, you need to support both a sidebar and a tab bar for your primary navigation. In this video I’ll show you how to build one simple SwiftUI component that transitions between both smoothly.

DATA STRUCTURES
Sorted arrays
A sorted array is one that retains a correct sort order no matter how and when you add items. Although this sounds simple enough to implement, in this article you’ll see that it’s actually quite fun to explore because there are a number of interesting challenges we’ll face.

INTERMEDIATE SWIFTUI
Customizing ProgressView using ProgressViewStyle
SwiftUI’s ProgressView gives us control over showing determinate or indeterminate progress, but it’s a bit dull – just a thin line and an activity spinner. Fortunately, we also get the ProgressViewStyle protocol so we can build entirely custom progress views, and in this article I’ll show you how it’s done.

INTERMEDIATE SWIFTUI
Basic button customization using ButtonStyle
SwiftUI’s humble Button view is actually capable of doing remarkable things if you take the time to customize it. In this video I’ll be walking you through the ButtonStyle protocol, showing you how we can use it to make great-looking and reusable button effects.

DATA STRUCTURES
Linked lists
If there’s one data structure they just love teaching you at school, it’s linked lists. In this article we’re going to look at why linked lists are so appealing, walk through how to build a linked list with Swift, and look at an alternative approach using enums.
16:18
NETWORKING
Codable networking with Combine
So much of our job is about downloading JSON data, decoding it using Codable, then presenting it – it’s a core skill. But it’s common to see folks rely on huge libraries such as Alamofire, or get mixed up with URLSession. So, in this article we’ll look at how to rewrite common networking code using Combine, then add some generics to make it truly flexible.

RENDERING CHARTS IN SWIFTUI
Rendering a line chart
Line charts come in a couple of different forms, but they share the same goal of visualizing a change of value over time. In this article we’ll look at building a customizable line chart from scratch in SwiftUI.

INTERMEDIATE SWIFTUI
Creating a custom property wrapper using DynamicProperty
It’s not hard to make a basic property wrapper, but if you want one that automatically updates the body property like @State you need to do some extra work. In this article I’ll show you exactly how it’s done, as we build a property wrapper capable of reading and writing documents from our app’s container.
27:13
NETWORKING
Uploading Codable data
In a previous article we already looked at a great way to download data using Combine, but in this article we’re going to examine the other side of the problem: uploading Codable data. Apple’s API here is a little gnarly, so I’m going to show you how to wrap it in a neat container using generics and Result.

DATA STRUCTURES
Queues and deques
Now that we’ve covered stacks and linked lists, queues and deques ought to be easier. In this article we’ll build both data structures in just a few lines of Swift, then explore interesting additions such as contains().

SWIFTUI SPECIAL EFFECTS
Controlling views using the accelerometer
Reading device motion and orientation is a fast and slightly magical way to incorporate the real world into your apps, and can do a huge amount to add a little spark of delight to your UI. In this article I’m going to show you how easy it is to control SwiftUI layouts using the accelerometer, and give you a few ideas for special effects.

CUSTOM SWIFTUI COMPONENTS
Creating a FlipView to provide a card flip effect
If you’re looking for a simple and fun special effect to add to your code, I’ve got just the thing for you. In this article I’m going to walk you through building a FlipView with SwiftUI, which will encapsulate how to move between a front view and a back view using a 3D flip animation.

REMAKING APPS
Remaking the iOS lock screen
In this article we’re going to look at how easy it is to rebuild the iOS lock screen. Yes, this isn’t hard, but along the way I think you’ll pick up a few cool SwiftUI tricks, including better date formatting, haptic buttons, and more.

CUSTOM SWIFTUI COMPONENTS
Creating a RemoteImage to load images from the web
Just like UIKit before it, SwiftUI doesn’t come with built-in support for loading remote images, which makes it hard to get data from the internet. In this article I’ll show you how you can build a custom view that can fetch image from the internet, while also showing other images for different states.
