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.

NETWORKING
FREE: 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.

INTERMEDIATE SWIFTUI
FREE: 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.

INTERMEDIATE SWIFT
FREE: 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.
19:50
SWIFTUI SPECIAL EFFECTS
FREE: Shadows and glows
SwiftUI gives us a modifier to make simple shadows, but if you want something more advanced such as inner shadows or glows, you need to do extra work. In this article I’ll show you how to get both those effects and more in a customizable, flexible way.
23:07
ADVANCED SWIFT
FREE: Making the most of optionals
Swift’s optionals are implemented as simple enums, with just a little compiler magic sprinkled around as syntactic sugar. However, they do much more than people realize, and in this article I’m going to demonstrate some of their power features that can really help you write better code – and blow your mind along the way.

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.
24:11
ADVANCED SWIFT
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.
32:08
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.

FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
FREE: Functional programming in Swift: Introduction
Before you dive in to the first article in this course, I want to give you a brief overview of our goals, how the content is structured, as well as a rough idea of what you can expect to find.

ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO APP
FREE: Ultimate Portfolio App: Introduction
While I’m sure you’re keen to get started programming immediately, please give me a few minutes to outline the goals of this course and explain why it’s different from other courses I’ve written.

ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO APP
FREE: Making your app accessible
It is my firm belief that every iOS app should be usable to everyone, and putting in the work to make your app function well no matter who is using it says a lot about the kind of developer you are.
17:58
MAKING THE MOST OF FOUNDATION
Converting measurements safely
Apple’s Foundation framework makes it easy for us to convert any kind of measurement into any other kind of measurement. In this article I’ll show you how to make the most of these APIs, but also why it’s so useful that they work with Swift features such as operator overloading, plus important protocols such as Comparable, Equatable, and Codable.
22:31
REMAKING APPS
Remaking the welcome screen
Few things in SwiftUI are quite so easy and yet quite so rewarding as rebuilding Apple’s welcome screens. In this article we’ll do just that, making it flexible enough to adapt easily for your own apps.
34:58
ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO APP
Integrating with Spotlight
In this article we’re going to make Spotlight store our app’s data, meaning that the user can search for items right from their iOS Home Screen. If you intend to follow the Widget or shortcut sections of this course later on, you should follow this article first.

ADVANCED SWIFT
Advanced string interpolation, part one
String interpolation is easy, right? Wrong! String interpolation is actually a huge power feature in Swift, and we have a massive array of functionality on hand to help us customize it. In this article I’ll show you just how much control we have, and how to use that control to make your code easier to read.
11:12
CUSTOM SWIFTUI COMPONENTS
Creating an AccessibleStack that flips stack axis based on Dynamic Type
There are several times when you might want to flip between a HStack and VStack, but one useful option is to look at the Dynamic Type size. Apple uses this itself to switch list rows to a vertical layout when using larger fonts, and in this tutorial I’ll show you how it’s done.
27:45
REMAKING APPS
Remaking the Tips app
In this article we’re going to look at how to rebuild the Tips app using SwiftUI, including how to make scrolling tabs of content, how to get a parallax scrolling effect, and more.
30:48
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.

HACKING WITH SWIFT LIVE 2020
UIKit updates: UICollectionView lists
In this part we’re going to build an app to explore SF Symbols, all built using the massive new updates to UICollectionView that let it act like a table view.
