Your Second iOS and SwiftUI App

Take the knowledge you’ve gained from your first SwiftUI app, and build on that as you create a more complex app: one to track your book collection!

You’ll build an entire personal library-tracking app in this course, using SwiftUI. Because the app will have multiple screens, you’ll apply new techniques for sharing data throughout a SwiftUI app. Along the way, you’ll get experience organizing your code using a variety of tools available to you in Swift and Xcode.

The Your Second iOS and SwiftUI App course will cover the following concepts:

• List Views
• Data Models
• View Navigation
• Modal Sheets
• Menus
• Edit Mode
• Dark Mode
• SwiftUI Environment
• SwiftUI Bindings
• Combine: Published and Observable Objects
• Swift Extensions
• Access Control
• Hashable and Identifiable Protocols
• Custom Types
• Nested Types

As part of our iOS and Swift for Beginners learning path, you’ll need just a little bit of iOS and Swift experience to complete this course.

Your First iOS and SwiftUI App: An App From Scratch

You’ll start by learning the basics of SwiftUI, a new way for iOS developers to build user interfaces for their apps using Swift. You’ll also dive into the Swift programming language itself, learning fundamentals like if/else statments, variables, constants, type inference, and the Swift standard library. You’ll add more cool functionality to your game and practice your new coding skills.

You’ll even learn useful techniques you’ll use as a developer in the real world, like App Architecture and Unit Testing!

Your First iOS and SwiftUI App: An App From Scratch will cover the following concepts:

• Swift Basics
• Methods
• Strings
• Variables
• Type Inference
• SwiftUI Views
• SwiftUI View Modifiers
• SwiftUI State
• SwiftUI Bindings
• App Architecture
• Unit Testing
• Bug Fixes
• Using Developer Docs

If you’re a complete beginner to iOS and SwiftUI development and wondering how to get started, this is the course for you!

…And Even More Upcoming Courses

We also have more potential courses lined up for the very near future, including the following:

• Advanced iOS Design Patterns: Learn about advanced design patterns like flyweight, mediator, composite, command pattern, chain of responsibility, and coordinator pattern.
• Your Second Flutter App: Continue along your Flutter and Dart journey by building your second complete app in Flutter, learning about making network calls, showing data in a list, and more!
