Course content

7 sections • 24 lectures • 1h 44m total length

Welcome1:33
What You Should know0:44
Clarify course prerequisites by noting Swift proficiency, Mac with Xcode 11 or later, and optional SwiftUI familiarity; prepare learners to work with buttons and text, skipping canvas basics.
Using the Exercise Files0:34
Access exercise files to code along with your SwiftUI course, using start and end state folders to follow steps and compare work with the finished state in the end folder.

Learn how to use VStacks and HStacks8:14
Get to Know ZStacks2:36
Learn to layer views with z stacks to place a blue circle on a gray rectangle, ignore safe areas, and position the circle on top for map-based selection.
Beautify a Button4:23
Beautify a SwiftUI button by styling a red circular icon with a plus symbol, using padding, background, and clipShape for a rounded look; plan to add the action later.
Use UIKit Classes Like MapView3:53
Map Annotations: Use UIKit Delegates6:23
Add a center coordinate and annotations array to the map view, and implement a coordinator with MKMapView delegates to sync annotations and update the center from the delegate.
Use UITextView with SwiftUI

Property Wrappers: State and Binding5:11
Explore how binding and state property wrappers drive a SwiftUI map view, enabling the center coordinate to update as you add MKPointAnnotation locations.
State and Binding Explained3:03
ObservableObject: Distance Between10:15
Create a distance manager as an observable object to calculate the distance between two core location points and publish the result for live updates in SwiftUI views.
@Published in More Detail1:18
Reactive TextView in SwiftUI

Create a SettingsView with a Slider5:51
Add Dynamic Content with ForEach4:19
Gradients in SwiftUI: An App Icon3:21
Create an app icon in SwiftUI by placing a rounded rectangle filled with a red-to-pink linear gradient, then overlay a white map symbol using a ZStack.
Present a View Modally with Sheet3:53
Learn to present a settings view modally with a sheet in SwiftUI by toggling a boolean bound to isPresented, revealing and dismissing the view with a smooth transition.
Dismiss a Sheet Manually3:35
Learn to dismiss a SwiftUI sheet manually by using the environment's presentationMode binding and a done button to call the dismiss function, with a top padding of about 150.
AlertView in SwiftUI

Create Your Own Property Wrapper4:13
Create a generic settings defaults property wrapper that uses user defaults to persist small values by key, with a default, and implement get and set for seamless reuse.
Save User Settings with PropertyWrapper5:50
Build an observable settings manager to persist the travel radius with a custom settings defaults wrapper, publish changes via Combine, and wire it into the SwiftUI settings view and slider.

Shapes in SwiftUI: A Ring5:43
Fill your Ring: Combining Shapes11:42
Design and animate a swiftui ring by composing a gradient-filled ring shape atop a ring background, driven by a computed percentage from user distance and travel radius.
Animate Your Data3:27
Learn to animate a ring progress in swiftui by exposing a computed percentage via a getter/setter and using an animator pull data, creating a smooth, clockwise data animation.

Requirements

You should know the basics of Swift 5
You should be familiar with the basics of Xcode
You need a Mac with Xcode 11 or later

Description

SwiftUI is an amazing new framework. It's maybe the biggest leap in for the Apple development ecosystem since Swift was introduced in 2014. With SwiftUI you will build better apps with less code. It makes app development a lot faster, simpler and even works across all Apple platforms. SwiftUI gives you automatic support for dynamic type, darkmode, localisation and a lot more.

What this course is NOT: This course is not an introduction into Swift or Xcode. It is also not meant to be a comprehensive SwiftUI handbook.

What this course aims to do: This course wants to bring you beyond the standard tutorials of displaying some local or web based data in a list. It wants to address the questions that arise when creating an app with SwiftUI for the first time and cover topics that will enable you to understand app development with this new toolset and thus make you feel comfortable continue the journey of exploring SwiftUI on your own.

This course is going to take you through the process of creating an app step-by-step. Not only will you have finished a complete app after taking this course, you will also get profound knowledge about SwiftUI and its most important concepts like property wrappers and its connections to the Combine framework.

I am Brian Advent and I have been working as a developer and trainer, especially in the Apple ecosystem, for almost a decade now.

Build your own Apps with SwiftUI

In this course I am going to provides you with all the knowledge you need to create your own SwiftUI apps in no time. I have selected the topics, progression and features that we are going to cover in this course with great care and based it on my experiences with this new toolset since its inception. Building an app from start to finish will give you a headstart in working on your own projects with SwiftUI.

How and what you are going to learn

This course is project based which means that you will learn while working on a cool app project. Important theory will also be covered in distinct videos. In our sample project we will build a cool user interface, mix and match UIKit classes with SwiftUI, we are going to explore the most important property wrappers that are mostly responsible for the reactive magic of SwiftUI. We will also create custom shapes, animate them, store data on a device and so much more.

Among other things you are then going to learn:

Basics like VStacks, HStacks and ZStacks
Mix and match UIKit with SwiftUI
Use Property Wrappers
Create dynamic content with ForEach
Work with multiple views
Create your own shapes
Animate Shapes based on interactive data
Data persistence
...

I designed this SwiftUI course to be easily understandable for any developer who has a beginner-intermediate knowledge about the Swift programming language and the Xcode IDE.

This course comes with extensive exercise files (code files and assets) for every video, with a begin and end state of all projects. You'll be able to work alongside the instructor and will receive a verifiable certificate of completion upon finishing the course.
