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 teachingdebutandcreated 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 iOSapps from scratch that are currently live in the App Store and arebeing 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 mycoding community!

Seems like the right pace - definitely starting from the beginning, which is exactly what I wanted.

I originally did Nicks course on Swift 3 while at college. I find him to be a very laid back and engaging teacher.
