Swift 5 Programming For Beginners (Udemy.com)

I have some prior HTML experience and wanted to expand my knowledge and skills. I downloaded Swift as a recommended tool for creating an iPhone app and was completely lost. This instruction gave me a good launching point for future learning and development. Thanks Nick! - Nick

The very basics are explained clearly & precisely, thanks a lot for that. However, the tasks at the end of the section 2 & 3 were demotivating as they required too much extra knowledge in comparison with what had been learnt just before. Section 2 & Section 6 have at least 50% in common & since it's super simple stuff (var, constraints, strings), it's not interesting to watch & repeat after the tutor once again.

As a complete beginner to programming I had attempted to learn coding from other places before & had given up mid-way. This course is perfect for beginners, just enough info to learn the core concepts & gives you confidence to pursue career in coding. Nick is an amazing instructor, loved his teaching style! I had a bunch of questions during the course & he promptly answered all my questions. Thank you for this amazing course, Nick!!

The course was awesome, I learned very much but at the end of the course there were some lessons that were already in the first part of the course. That part felt to me like a small waste of my time and money. I would, however, recommend this course as a starting ground for the future learning.

Really liked Nick's teaching style. The detail and content up to section 5 was excellent. Only thing that stopped the five star for me is that section 6 did have some repeat content from earlier in the course. Nick was really responsive to comments and questions and has a really great teaching style.

This course is for those who have zero programming experience—those who have never written a piece of code at all. As for the project, a lot of comments are saying is a bit hard for a beginner—well it is however, you can google it and then ask Nick. If it's still doesn't make sense, then just continue with the course, it'll make sense once you immerse yourself with everything swift.

This is a great beginner course for Swift 5. My only gripe is when you get to the last section, the content backtracks to the beginning again a bit, so there's not as much app content here as I thought there would be. Other than that, I would highly recommend for people looking to pick up this new tool!

Nick's a fun teacher and does an excellent job breaking down the basic elements of Swift. For users who've taken his course using earlier versions of Swift, this course doesn't offer much new content (there's not a whole lot of newness between Swift v.4 and v.5), but, as it's a newly-crafted course, Nick will sometimes explain things in a slightly different fashion from what you may have heard previously, providing a different angle that will allow you to cement your earlier education.

Excellent course just one part missing on string interpolation. As he recommends in the course, I went out and found the information on my own which was good experience in and of itself but I’d still rather have learned it in the course.

Nick works hard to teach at a very elementary level, and that is a good thing. No course is perfect (Nick is a terrible speller :-) ), but you can tell that he cares about the student. Because of his good qualities as an instructor, I have since signed up for another of his courses. Thanks, Nick.
