Objective-C Crash Course for Swift Developers (Udemy.com)

It is a good course if you want to familiarize yourself with objective c. I was little bit scared at first that this course is out dated and tutorials won't work as it has been not updated by mark for a while, day of writing review: May 10, 2021, but luckily I was able to get through the first 4 hours and I'm confident in Objective C now. However, the homework assignments link don't work so I was not able to get practice with video topics. Moreover, I think the last 3 sections on web development seems like a overkill for a Obj C for Swift developers. Instead, Swift developers should be not required to learn web development to get started with section 4 (the last real section). It should be complete app development project in pure objective c Anyways, if you are a swift developer and need a course to get started with objective c, I would recommend enrolling for this course. It is worth the money!

The contents are pretty good, however not as deep as I would have liked. It's ok, though, it's a crash course. What really made me give this rating is that the exercises are not written inside Udemy, they used to be in devslopes.com's blog; but the links are broken now. So basically, there are zero resources in this course. Oh, and the UIWebView was deprecated a few years ago, that section should get an update to WKWebView

I found this course to be excellent for quickly understanding how OBJC works (it’s similar to Swift so I recommend that you do have some background knowledge on Swift). HOWEVER, the articles and example assignments are all gone in Mark’s website. So, if you are a complete beginner and want to practice coding, you might want to look somewhere else, in face, learning SWIFT will be a better choice for beginners. :) THX Mark for great course BTW

Wish there were more full app tutorials and implementations, maybe one per section and one big final one that uses components of all sections. Also don't need the ad for dev slopes at the end of every video

Mark Price is a great guy, but the course materials and all of the resources are not maintained and don't exist anymore. This course is no longer updated nor will you get any responses to your questions. I hope Mark is able to find the instructors he needs and get more help so that he can continue putting out content again!

Devslopes iOS/Swift course is great, and this one is starting out no different. Mark's pronunciation is clear, he progresses at a good speed, and the concepts being presented are very relevant. One thing, the exercises are great, but if you are not already familiar with creating iOS apps in Swift then the exercises are going to be tough. You basically are given a screenshot of an app and the Swift app Xcode project files. You need to download it and examine the code, including the storyboard file. And some of the exercise Swift apps are so old they don't load in Xcode 10. So they end up being a tough challenge, but do them as the exercises are where you learn the most.

Overall this is an effective course of learning the basics of Objective-C. I personally do not know swift, but found this beneficial even though this is angled for swift developers to learn Objective-C . I feel however anyone with any background knowledge in other programming languages will be easily able to pick up this course if they just want to quickly understand the basic composition of Objective-C code. The instructor does not go into details, gives you the basics on how to run with the code and encourages looking at documentation, which I appreciate. There are times where the courses seem to be run off the cuff and the instructor gets stuck, the video cuts out and then back in, most of the time its not huge issue but in a few instances the code on the screen completely changes in the out, causing disorientation. Would be 5 stars otherwise. I did not go into the making an app section, that was not my goal with this course, I really just wanted to be able to read Objective C and perhaps write some code writing wrappers of objective-C libraries, so this rating does not apply to the making an app section. Thank you.

Very fast, but of good quality crash course. It is perfect for the target audience (fresh Swift developers). I really felt at ease with the way the course worked and Mark's jokes are still making me smile while learning. + There are 2 totally bonus sessions that I won't take, but that are welcome anyway. I recommend it without hesitation for new Swift developers who need to quickly learn the basics of Objective-C to deal with a legacy codebase.

Good content, and I appreciate how the instructor brings in humor and personality. I feel that he could benefit from a more scripted approach. He often seems to be searching for the right words or phrasing, which could have been done off camera. My biggest complaint are that the assignments are too large and not frequent enough. (convert this library .. read these docs and do their exercises ..). I really appreciated the earlier assignments (convert this app).

A very good and knowledgeable instructor who taught in a expressive way. Clearly and concise instructions and you were aware that the instructor knew his subject inside out. He was very willing to explain difficult concepts clearly and was informative. I would 100& recommend him to my colleagues and anyone starting to learn to program code in objective C or Swift.
