3-Day
Online Bootcamp
Taught in Xcode
Learn Swift in 3 days.
Taught by iOS Developers.
Taught only with practical pair programming exercises. Each lesson uses Xcode playgrounds. Developed for fast learning. Our students build a SOLID foundation fully understanding each topic.
Each lesson is taught in Xcode and is taught in a pair programming style following guidance from an instructor - a highly trained iOS Developer and consultant in the tech industry.
Our online course was written and created by developers with many years of commercial experience as a gift to the tech industry to solve this problem. Our goal is to provide a calm and easy-to-understand explanation of complicated topics, combined with repetition and sufficient typing-practice in order to train the mind to retain a simpler understanding of the Swift language at a basic level, resulting in a stronger foundation of knowledge that'll serve to grow and support a successful career as a Swift Engineer / iOS Developer.

We Teach in Xcode
Learn Swift inside Xcode - the software used to build apps
Xcode is the software used in industry to write software for Apple products. It's your gateway to creating projects, playgrounds, submitting apps to the AppStore and editing code for existing apps.
All our lessons take place in Xcode.
Xcode is the software you'll use in the tech industry..
Use it, and gain experience with it immediately.

Instructions
Pair programming with an instructor
We teach using pair programming.
Pair programming when done remotely (like ours) is usually structured where two developers work together over a video call to write code and solve a problem. One person will "drive" and be sharing their screen while in Xcode (this is you). The other team mate will guide you and provide direction (this is your instructor).
Your instructor talks (via screen sharing video)

Why
is it Free?
We are seniors trying to share resources & tips
We dedicated 3 years to teaching young graduates how to code in Swift and how to build software.
We noticed that the worst engineers were those who "learnt Swift" with online courses that in fact did not teach Swift but focussed on frameworks, UI and building apps.
They didn't spend enough time learning the Swift language and wasted time on UI.
We built some material to help.
It's fast and doesn't try to focus on everything all at once!
Good luck.

Code Review & Tidy Guide
Gain an opportunity to write an entire system by yourself.
The first lesson asks you to write a calculator in a playground. Can you?
If not, continue pair programming with your instructor and figure it out together.

Recording Studio
We tried a professional studio - to see if it helped audio quality
All recorded content for 3 Days Of Swift is recorded in a professional sound proof booth with state of the art Rode microphones. Each lesson is recorded by our most experienced iOS Developer who has spent his career constructing whole software systems while also leading teams and training juniors.
Each lesson has superb audio quality and have been designed for students wearing AirPods with noise cancelling enabled. We hope you enjoy our 1-on-1 pair programming experience with our leading iOS Engineer and consultant, Matthew Thomas.

Good Luck
We hope you enjoy learning Swift - it's a fun & profitable career
No matter where you learn Swift, make sure you've downloaded our free resources from our site. We're building our service to be "completable" and therefore it should be a helpful resource to learn some basics, gather some interview prep, download some Xcode playgrounds and then move on to other resources & services elsewhere - we hope you use us & our resources!
Our resources help practice for interviews.
We have a free Swift Cheatsheet of Swift code - great to learn from & super fast to read! ⚡️
We converted Apples official Swift book into an Xcode playground.
We hope you join us & become a member
Good luck from the 3DaysOfSwift community! 👋🏻👋🏽👋🏿
