Description

Welcome to the most practical and comprehensive SwiftUI course available – fully updated for iOS 18 and already covering the latest iOS 26+ features like 3D Charts, Rich Text Editing, and AI with Apple’s Foundation Model.

This is a project-based course, where you'll learn iOS development by actually building apps. No long-winded theory – we dive straight into real-world projects that grow in complexity and cover beginner to advanced topics.

You’ll start by learning Swift fundamentals, then move into building increasingly sophisticated apps using MVVM architecture, animations, gestures, CoreML, Swift Data, Core Data, and more.

This course is also dynamic: I regularly add new material based on Apple releases and student requests.

This is a living course, meaning new content is added regularly — both from my own ideas and in direct response to student requests. Your feedback helps shape the direction of future lessons.

I genuinely hope you enjoy this course as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Don’t just follow along — make the code your own. Tinker, experiment, and try building an app idea that excites you.

If you ever have questions, feel free to ask in the Q&A or message me directly. I check and respond twice a day and am always happy to help.

Happy coding — and have a great day!
