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.
CUSTOM SWIFTUI COMPONENTS
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.

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.
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.
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 LongPressButton to trigger after delay
In this article I’m going to walk you through building a LongPressButton with SwiftUI, which will requires users to press and hold for a second before it’s triggered.
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.
DATA STRUCTURES
Ordered sets
Arrays and sets have their own advantages and disadvantages, but what if we could combine them both to make an ordered set? We can! And in this article that’s exactly what we’ll do.
INTERMEDIATE SWIFTUI
Customizing Toggle using ToggleStyle
Most of the time the built-in iOS controls are great, but sometimes you want something just a little different. In this article I’m going to walk you through how you can take complete control over the way toggle switches work in SwiftUI, providing custom rendering and interactions.
NETWORKING
User-friendly network access
Anyone can write Swift code to fetch network data, but much harder is knowing how to write code to do it respectfully. In this article we’ll look at building a considerate network stack, taking into account the user’s connection, preferences, and more.
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().
INTERMEDIATE SWIFT
Understanding generics – part 2
In this second tutorial on generics, we’re going to explore creating several different generic types, look at extending generics, and look at how we can apply our generics knowledge to create property wrappers.
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.
INTERMEDIATE SWIFT
Understanding generics – part 1
Generics are one of the most powerful features of Swift, allowing us to write code once and reuse it in many ways. In this article we’ll explore how they work, why adding constraints actually helps us write more code, and how generics help solve one of the biggest problems in Swift.
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.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE APPS
Identifying performance hot spots with Time Profiler
Instruments gives us a range of tools for finding performance problems, and in this article we’ll be looking at how the Time Profiler instrument can point out problems in seconds.
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
Stacks
There are many data structures in computing, but stacks are one of the most fundamental – they get used in so many places, often without us even realizing. Helpfully, they are also one of the easiest types to learn, which makes them a great starting point for this new series on data structures.
ADVANCED SWIFT
Existentials and type erasure – part 2
In the first part of this tutorial we looked at the underlying problem that type erasure is trying to solve, and tried out Swift’s approach using AnySequence. In this second part we’re going to adapt Swift’s own solution to get real type erasure for our own code.
MAKING THE MOST OF FOUNDATION
Handling names correctly
There are lots of UI mistakes we can make in programming, but unless our bugs actually get in the way of functionality most users don’t care that much. But there is one exception, and we’re going to look at it here: in this article I’ll show you how to handle names correctly – the most personal data of all.
