Frequently Asked Questions
The course provides 3 days of online video. During this time you will watch online videos from an instructor who guides you through writing Swift code in an Xcode playground. During this time you'll receive insight into many different areas of Swift, Xcode, keyboard shortcuts and tips that'll help construct a strong foundation of Swift knowledge.
The foundational knowledge of Swift is the most important part of learning Swift.
On the 4th day you're guided through building a system without UI. This strategy reflects the work you'll be doing in industry, which will most likely be editing the brain of the application - the system without UI.
From here you'll download an example of the same system but used within an Xcode project (UIKit & SwiftUI). This is mainly just for reference and might be helpful to you.
From this moment, you'll continue to practice through coding tasks set inside Xcode playgrounds without online instructional videos. Our online videos are very insightful but also time consuming. It is for this reason that we try to move you toward learning from written instructions (i.e. written requirements). This is why we focus on the videos from the beginning; So that learning will be faster and you'll understand the basics well enough not to require more online videos.
You will then download The Swift Cheatsheet as a language reference guide containing many useful code examples. This is intended to be used at work when you forget Swift syntax and need a fast reminder without having to search the internet for clues.
Now you're on your own! A self sufficient programmer with strong Swift skills!
It's time to move on to the next online learning service. Maybe you could start applying for jobs and learn the next steps while employed as a Junior iOS Developer with great eagerness to learn.
Good luck.
Beginners who want to learn Swift and apply for jobs as a Junior iOS Developer.
We recommend completing the whole course as it'll an unbeatable base layer of information and knowledge ready to support a more successful and profitable career in iOS.
Once you complete the 3-day course (including all extra content) you'll find all other online tutorials much easier and simpler to understand.

Learning Swift takes years of practice and study.
But don't be put off!
Be calm and strategise your learning. As much fun as it might be to learn iOS apps, SwiftUI, Combine, architecture and release apps immediately to the AppStore, it never works to learn Swift and results in huge memory gaps and a lack of confidence for each student.
Be wise and be strategic!
The best developers (who earn the most money) are those fully committed to understand the language itself. With this understanding and skillset of Swift you'll be unstoppable and be able to tackle any challenge and any task set at work.
Once you've learned Swift, you'll be able to learn everything else slowly needing nothing else but your mind, Xcode and a reliable internet connection.
Good luck.
