iOS Development Masterclass 2027 – SwiftUI, SwiftData, AI (Udemy.com)

I've been working as a software developer for six years. I write .net, PL/SQL, JavaScript, and React-native. In fact, an app I developed with React-native is now available on the App Store and Google Play. When I decided to learn Swift, I came across this course and took it. My familiarity with different languages ​​makes me a fast learner. It goes into detail about modular architecture and explains it in detail with examples. I really liked using components, and I understood it clearly in the first video. Thank you for highlighting good points, showing the tricks without boring you, and contributing to my development. However, I think someone starting out with programming from scratch will struggle with this course. It might give someone who doesn't understand the logic the impression that we just wrote this code here and it's done. I wish you success.

+ - Learn by Doing does work - Building solutions step-by-step is really effective - Good naming conventions and programming practices taught - - Many chapters repeat items already covered, some completely redundant - looks like they may be in the wrong order esp. section 24 (should be at the beginning?) - Deprecated code, examples don't match latest Xcode, some can't be followed at all [course is for 2025 but many sections are from 2020 or earlier] - Personally I find the constant cheesy/patronising phrases irritating: - 'Are you excited to.....' - 'How cool is that?' - 'How awesome.....' - 'Great job!' / 'Excellent work!' [all we did was copy your typing] - Mac Catalyst seems deprecated. The Mac checkbox on the Deployment section no longer exists. We need instructions on how to deploy to Mac using the current tools. - The Preview section has been replaced by #Preview - instructions on frame sizing etc do not work Suggestions: - Chapter on Data Persistence for multi-user apps like Firebase, Parse, Cloud Kit - Internationalisation: hard-coded texts -> i18n variants - How to create our own graphics - What about other types of apps like Document Apps? Even Frameworks and Libraries?

The course content appears geared primarily towards entry-level SWIFTUI learners. Much of the material was created using Xcode 11, which is now several versions behind the current Xcode 15. It would be beneficial to update the content to align with the latest Xcode release. Additionally, the course currently features a repetitive pattern of applications that may only be suitable for beginners. To provide more value, it would be great to incorporate more advanced and complex app examples that do not simply rehash the same fundamental concepts

Robert does a wonderful job of showing by doing the swift UI process. I found myself pausing the videos and trying to accomplish what i thought was the next step as he goes fairly quick, but i think this is a good thing there are no boring lectures, while a bit of background would be nice this is the first course I 100% completed. Thanks!! I just wish i could find other courses that could help advance my knowledge without using the bait and switch tactics that Udemy is allowing on most older courses

The course is really good, but I must say that I had a good amount of working experience before taking it, so your experience may very different. The teacher does not dive into details in complex procedures and, although I was able to understand pretty much everything, I doubt that a beginner can do the same. On the plus side I've learnt a lot of new shortcut of XCode that will come in handy, and the apps are really good looking.

I have taken LOTS of courses and by far this one is among my favorites. I was completely new to SwiftUI but have taken Xcode through the years. SwiftUi can be a little overwhelming, but Robert's course was easy to follow (for the most part. The designs are gorgeous, which was a big reason why I wanted to try it out. He is an amazing designer and has put together lots of good info. He definitely has my respect and props. Here are some Cons to be aware of: * The course is based on making amazing UI, so he left some of the features without functions i.e. He put a search icon on the screen but added no search functionality. A shopping cart icon, with no additional functionality. * I am currently running Xcode 14 (06/09/2023) , and the course is mostly current. Although with any tech course, time = being outdated. So there were deprecated / soon to be deprecated code that needs to be updated. Not Robert's fault at all, it's just the nature of time. * The Q/A section is a great place to find some solutions, but I noticed that many of the responses were 2-3 years old. I've posted a handful of questions but only a couple got a response from other students. Not bad, but just know that if you can't get a reply, you have to be good at solving on your own through google, stack or reading documentation. Overall, great job Robert. Thank you for all your hard work and effort you put into this course.

I will start with the overall takeaway. Did I learn many things about SwiftUI that I didn't know before? Yes! Do I feel like I have a good foundation and a firm grip on the concepts I learned? No. In the entire course, a lot of concepts are used after a very minimal at best introduction or explanation while other very basic concepts are overexplained. For example, things like how the frame modifier works with the min, max, and ideal dimensions or why the order of modifiers matters in SwiftUI and how it works, are not mentioned at all. However, in literally every single section Robert will overexplain how to create a new project in Xcode and add a title and save it to your computer and import the assets...every time like we haven't done it 15 times already. This could be a much quicker process and the focus could be on making sure the students can build a good foundation in SwiftUI. If I didn't already have some knowledge in Xcode, Swift, and SwiftUI I think that after finishing this course, I would feel like I have done, but haven't learned. Is this course suitable for beginners as advertised? No. As mentioned above, a lot of things are not explained well or even mentioned at all and with the very high pace of Robert sometimes it feels like you do more than you learn how to do. I feel like the only reason I feel comfortable now is because I am not a complete beginner so it was a bit easier for me to keep up and also because I always made sure to review the entire code after finishing each app because that was when I was making sure that I actually understand what I am doing. Is the course structure good? No. The order of the modules is really random both based on the difficulty of the concepts you learn during the module and based on how old and outdated a module is. The course starts with Robert teaching us about gestures when we don't even know what SwiftUI is or how to use it and then the last few modules of the course are old, outdated, very basic modules with nothing new to learn and should have probably been in the beginning based on the difficulty. Also, Storyboards do not exist in SwiftUI anymore but they do in the last modules of the course, so I am guessing/hoping the course will be updated soon. Did the teaching experience appeal to me overall? No. Apart from the things I mentioned above, the whole course feels so scripted and unnatural. A lot of modules are "taught" by a robotic AI voice and the ones that are taught by Robert still feel like that, not because of Robert's tone or English, but because everything down to the dot is scripted and repeated over and over again. Sentences that apply to often occasions will always be said the same way with the exact same tone and words throughout the entire course. I do not like how scripted it is and it would feel more like a human being is teaching you if there was variation in how things are said. Like natural talking. It really feels like some sentences were recorded and played over and over again every time Robert wanted to say something similar.

This class has guided me through learning so many fascinating and useful parts of SwiftUI! In my opinion, this is a course for people who already have iOS coding experience and want to expand to SwiftUI. This course takes many turns down extremely technical trails that might leave the youngest student confused, but a slightly more advanced student will appreciate the level of detail and thoughtful code and ingenious application design. I am so glad I found this course! 10 out of 10!

I have completed the first project. It was thrilling. It is immediately evident from the details how accurate this teacher is in all respects. This teacher has super exaggerated knowledge on the subject. There are some methods in the graphics that will amaze you. I am extremely happy I bought this course at a ridiculous price considering the work behind it. Thank you very much for existing Robert. Greetings from Italy and sorry my way of writing but it is google translator that does it for me. Best regards Valentino Consiglio a priori questo corso. Il metodo che usa il docente è intuitivo e spiega passo passo come implementare le app. - Non è noioso. - Insegna con maestria a tenere il codice a moduli separati. - implementa le app con la programmazione ad oggetti - Da tutto il materiale didattico: dalla icona di presentazione ai colori personalizzati foto e video. - La grafica è spettacolare in quanto presenta anche effetti di movimento. - Non ci sono corsi a questo livello sul framework SwiftUI ( ne ho comprati diversi, ma tutti si limitano a presentare il pezzetto di codice e basta: qui invece fai l'app completa. Un investimento di cui non mi pentirò mai. Appena ne farà un'altro lo compererò al volo senza pensarci. - Il corso è destinato ad aggiornarsi con un app di vendita commerciale.(Non vedo l'ora che lo installa ora è solo in presentazione) Non preoccupatevi della della lingua inglese ; il docente parla una lingua molto pulita. Si può anche ( come ho fatto io ) tradurre in tempo reale le parole dei video lezione; basta installare l'estensione di google translate e selezionare in basso a destra la voce " trascrizione " cliccare sul simbolo in alto a destra dell'estensione google Translate e automaticamente appare a destra il testo tradotto nella lingua desiderata. Tutto ciò è fantastico. Lo consiglio a tutti per un vero approccio generale SwiftUI. Consiglio: aspettate l'offerta a 19,90 Valentino

Having done a number of online courses over they years I have experienced mixed results. This course has been a breath of fresh air, and I could not recommend Robert highly enough. Robert has a great delivery in his videos, which have been very professionally put together. The beatutiful assets he provides with each project make it a joy to develop a very polished application as you work your way through. Robert's attention to UI/UX design, as well as simple and effective coding practices, show how you can develop beautiful and functional applications with little effort. Overall, a fantastic course, and if you want to learn SwiftUI using practical examples this is the course for you.
