Course Description

Apple has upgraded their Playgrounds iPad to now allow you to make apps! Using SwiftUI, Apple's new design framework, you can design and code apps all on your iPad. You can even submit your apps to the App Store using playgrounds so that you can share your app creations with the world.

In this course, I will take you from beginner to making several apps and even walk you through submitting your app to the App Store. We start the course first by helping you to develop a base in SwiftUI. SwiftUI makes it incredibly simple to design apps on the fly and see your tweaks and changes in real time! Once we have a good grasp on SwiftUI, we'll move on to making 2 apps.

The first app is Choppy Copy. A Text Modifier app that allows someone to quickly change the capitalization on text and copy it to the clipboard. We'll then create Sun Fun, an app that lets you find the sunrise and sunset times for any location in the world on any day! You'll learn how to work with Maps and Calendars/Dates with this app.

Finally, we'll take our Sun Fun course and submit it to the App Store.

Feel free to take a free preview of this course to see if it's a good fit for you. I am so confident that you will love my course. You have nothing to lose, so come join me and let's get started!

Instructor Details

Nick Walter

Hi! I'm Nick, and I love to code. About five years ago I decided that I wanted to learn to code, but I had limited access to programming resources, and I was getting frustrated with all of the YouTube videos and online tutorials out there. I experimented, struggled, and definitely failed a lot, but I finally got the hang of it, so I decided that I wanted to change the way that people learned to code, and I started teaching. My experience as an online student has directly influenced my teaching style, because I know what it is like to be in your shoes.

When Apple announced their new programming language, Swift, in 2014, I made my big online teaching debut and created the internet's first Swift course. Since that time, I have become a full-time online instructor and I now have courses not only in Swift, but also in iOS, Android, Django, Kotlin, Python, HTML, Blockchain, etc. I have also created five iOS apps from scratch that are currently live in the App Store and are being used by thousands of users worldwide. 

I love sharing my excitement for coding with my students, and I try to make learning as fun and as easy as possible. Thanks for being part of my coding community!

I like this course I get to learn a lot more about swift and I enjoy swift because I can see everything in real time when programming I enjoyed Python while it lasted, but I actually like swift because it’s definitely more of my thing since I’m a visual learner.

I was looking for a SwiftUI course that uses Swift Playgrounds and found this. It helped me a lot to refresh my programming skills with Swift and SwiftUI. Using Swift Playgrounds was very refreshing, in comparison to the bloated Xcode. I'm really surprised that we can make great Apps on an iPad. I would like to encourage Nick to upgrade and enhance this course. Many kids nowadays grow up with iPads and would like to use these for their first steps into programming.

This course is informal and personal. Like coding with a friend. Thank you for this. Well worth the time and money.

This was a good course for getting a feel for what playgrounds for iPad and swiftUI can do. I've had this app on my iPad for at least a year and wrote it off as just a environment for the tutorials. I had no idea that I could do so much with apps I can make with it. It also demonstrated that there some of the iOS capabilities that appear to be advanced can be much easier to use than they appear. All in all, a nice and somewhat gentle intro to iOS and iPadOS developing. Now, on to learning more about the Swift language in general.

I love this course, learned so much from it. I wish there was more like it I think it’s the only swift playground for IPad course I found in Udemy Govern recommended.

Es un profesor estupendo, muy claro, que enseña cosas sencillas pero muy útiles. Me refiero a esos trucos y atajos que normalmente no te enseñan en los cursos y que solamente se aprenden con la práctica. Los vídeos están en inglés pero se entienden bien porque el sonido es bueno.

By Jean-Pierre Hermans on 5/28/2022

Nice course. And good explained, how to create apps in Apple playground.

By Ira Dhalawong on 5/3/2022

Too short and cursory. Feels more like a YouTube instructional video than a typical course on Udemy. For example, the lesson on submitting the app doesn't even discuss Test Flight as a step. There's not much you will get out of the course that you can't get by just simply playing with Playgrounds yourself. A bit disappointing.

By Dagmar Feldt on 2/4/2022

As always great course, good introduction to coding on iPad. Thanks a lot. I would recommend taking this course.
