INTERMEDIATE SWIFT
FREE: Understanding assertions
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.
42:32
FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
FREE: Transforming data with map()
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!
20:01
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.
6:52
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.
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.
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.
31:55
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.
11:03
ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO APP
FREE: Ultimate Portfolio App: Introduction
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.
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.
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.
3:54
INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
FREE: Interview questions: Introduction
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…
14:26
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.
14:20
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.
36:18
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.
23:09
ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO APP
Making projects and items feel at home on the Mac
Now we need to turn our eyes to the first significant piece of work porting to macOS: adjusting the Open and Closed tabs so they look and work better on macOS. This means adding some Mac-only modifiers and views, but it gives us a big step forward as you’ll see.
1:07:49
LIVE STREAMS
Quick Spell
SwiftUI is a really great framework to make simple games with, and to demonstrate that we’re going to build a word game in hardly any code, then add some more advanced features to make it slicker.
1:49
INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
How does CloudKit differ from Core Data?
Although Apple has done a great deal of work to bring these two powerhouse frameworks closer together, they still fundamentally work in entirely different ways, and providing a good comparison might take more thought than you expect.
10:15
ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO APP
Cleaning up Awards
To kick off the process of cleaning up our code to work well on macOS, we’re going to tackle the easiest one of our views: Awards. This means fixing up its navigation and button styles so it looks and feels great on Mac.

SOLUTIONS
Cupcake Corner
This challenge asks you to upgrade the form validation, add a user-facing error, then make the app remember the user's delivery details using UserDefaults. Let’s tackle it now…
29:23
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.
