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.
In this article we’re going to look at the map()
function, which transforms one thing into another thing. Along the way we’ll also be exploring some core concepts of functional programming, so if you read no other articles in this course at least read this one!
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.
UPDATED: 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.
Getting ready for a job interview is tough work, so I’ve prepared a whole bunch of common questions and answers to help give you a jump start. But before you get into them, let me explain the plan in more detail…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Assertions allow us to have Swift silently check the state of our program at runtime, but if you want to get them right you need to understand some intricacies. In this article I’ll walk you through the five ways we can make assertions in Swift, and provide clear advice on which to use and when.
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.
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.
In final stream in this miniseries about making games with SwiftUI, we’re going to create a mini sudoku game from scratch. It’s pretty packed, but a fantastic starting point for your own projects!
JSON is one of the most common file formats we deal with, so we can write a little macOS utility to make it nicer to work with – compressing the data, formatting the data, and even sorting the key names.
Checkpoint 4 of Swift for Complete Beginners asks you to find the integer square root an input number within a certain range, or throw errors if you can’t do it. Let’s solve that now…
Swift’s optionals are a real power feature of the language, but without direct compiler support they would be quite onerous. Optional chaining is one part of that support, so be prepared to answer exactly what part it plays.
If I were to boil functional programming down to just two rules, the second rule would be this: functions are first-class types, and should be passed around like any other kind of data. In this article we’re going to explore what that means, and what power it unleashes…
Before we start looking at the data changes this year, there are still more major SwiftUI changes to go over: phase animators and visual effects.
