Description

Welcome to the iOS & Swift: Server/Backend-Driven UI for Dynamic Apps course!

In this course, we learn to create dynamic & responsive user interfaces by leveraging backend data to shape the layout and content of our app's frontend. Concurrently, we utilized the robust capabilities of 2 native Swift SDKS - UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout & UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource alongside SwiftUI to achieve this.

Throughout the course, we will build the unofficial Udemy iOS home screen, incorporating industry leading practices to integrate modular SwiftUI views into a UIKit-based project. Additionally, we will layout views using the SnapKit library, enhancing our skills in interface design and implementation.

By embracing the Server/Backend-Driven UI design principle into our development workflow, we seamlessly integrate backend data to drive the layout and content of our app's frontend. This approach not only enhances flexibility and adaptability but also guarantees a uniform and captivating user experience across diverse devices and screen sizes.

Noteworthy companies employing the Server/Backend-Driven UI strategy include Uber, Spotify, Reddit, Airbnb, SnapChat & Lyft.

This course is designed for experienced iOS developers with at least three years of working experience and a strong foundation in UIKit, who are eager to explore SwiftUI's capabilities.

By the end of this course, you'll master the skills and confidence needed to implement dynamic frontend designs utilizing the Server/Backend-Driven UI principle in your own production apps.


Who this course is for:

  • Full time developers who are keen to explore SwiftUI but working with a UIKit based project
  • Full time developers who want learn backend driven UI
