iOS 9 and Swift 2: From Beginner to Paid Professional™ (Udemy.com)

A great course and a wonderful teacher. Thanks Mark Sir. It's been a wonderful experience learning from you. I just wanted to know more about basics of Swift and Objective C and how to read OBJC apis so I encountered small issues while building my own app. Apart from that everything is wonderful.

Everything is valuable except I cannot ask when I have a trouble. Although there is community for asking. But all I received from the community is telling me to ask another one in the same country instead.

Thanks Mark for creating such an inspiring course! I myself is a College student, and I'm too sick to take one more lecture-style courses. Learning is meant to be fun like this! More and clearer explanation would make this course perfect. Keep up the good work!

I normally wait until the end of courses to rate them, but this has been by far one of the best programming courses I've ever taken. I come from a Java background and have spent years in college learning coding, and I'm a bit newer to Objective C/Swift style coding and I've just never come across someone so thorough. I really wish you had a course on android dev as well, because this is quality like I haven't personally experienced before. If you're new to software developing in general, or iOS, I strongly suggest this course. The fundamentals taught here alone are worth the investment into becoming a successful developer, iOS or not. I'm anxious to start the intermediate iOS dev course! Amazing work!

This is a great course! I have learned so much and I continue to become a better IOS Dev everyday. The only problem I have with the course is the coverage of auto layout. I feel like auto layout deserves its own section due to how complex and how much practice is needed to become competent with it. Besides that this course is awesome!

Completed the course, and it was a fantastic introduction to programming with iOS / Swift. Definitely would recommend taking a class from Mark. NOTE: There is a newer version of this course. Mark has been great about keeping this course updated w/ new developments and features. But if you're new, you should start with his "iOS 10 & Swift 3" course, so you're starting off on the latest version. Mark is a laid-back instructor, who focuses more on real-world tips than textbook instruction. It works well for the course, but you'll occasionally find yourself having to Google a few concepts he glosses over. Sometimes re-watching his videos helps, but other times you'll just need to search the web for help. No biggie, just don't let it throw you off from an otherwise good course. Also, TAKE NOTES. There's no compendium or cheat-sheet for each lesson; he just codes and explains as he goes. I found two things helped: (1) when typing along with mark, I typed many comments to keep track of his explanations. And (2) I kept a bunch of Mac Notes on key lessons (how to make a UITableView, how to implement sound, etc...) so I could easily go back to the important bits of code. Thanks Mark for a great course! I'll be signing up for your intermediate class soon.

At first I didn't like Mark or his teaching style or his voice or his design choices. In fact I thought this course was going to suck since it was on Udemy of all places. Guess what? I still don't like Marks design choices but he teaches you how to make your own clearly and concisely. Not only that but he has you do it in every app you make during this course so you the concepts are reinforced. The video quality improves throughout as well. I got used to the teaching style and by the time I got to video 100 I really appreciate the loose, unscripted style versus some heavily edited version. Some lectures I feel are a bit long winded but ultimately you do learn to be a pro.

Really good course... but the course assumes you've been exposed to IOS development and have some background in programming. Covers topics really fast at times or doesn't fully explain things.

This is the most complete and best iOS 9 & Swift course on udemy because he keeps the learner engaged, very responsive to questions, explains & demonstrates complex things in an easy way to understand, teaches and emphasis good programming habits for example data encapsulation, code reusability, reading documentation rather than just watching him code, and they is also a chatroom for students to get additional help etc. In terms of cons the only thing I can think of is some of the videos are long but for what I am getting out of the course I can live with that by pausing the video and returning from where I left of. If you want a career building iOS Apps this is the Course for you. Thanks and keep up the good work Mark!

Let me begin by thanking Mark for putting this course out there. I have looked at and signed up for several Swift courses on Udemy, and they are all basically the same and leave a lot to be desired. When I found this course it pushed me to challenge myself any further, and I feel like when I complete this course I could write any app that my heart desires. He covers the information so well and makes it easy to understand. He also provides so many great examples and further ways to learn that I am excited every time I sit down to start a new lecture. This course really is for any from beginner or experienced developer who wants to take there programming to the next level. Great course!
