I liked the course, however I think the Instructor was speaking too fast. I had to pause and go back a bit quite often. Also, I don't think adding all those force unwraps are a good practice. In these videos, we are suppose to learn how to program, so it should be good to start with the good practices right away and not later.

Some details, specific to the API's and concepts are not explained so is difficult to keep up with the course. For example: I still didn't understand all the steps in TrnasitionDelegate..

The course contains some really interisting topics such as Peek and Pop, Today Extension, UIKit dynamics, which I found nowhere else. Instructor is very clear in teaching, course is up to date.

I'm mid-way through the course, and have had a pleasant learning experience so far. Brian is concise, precise, and keep things simple. His pacing is good even for iOS beginners. A few things could improve. For instance, some topics could have been more in-depth (ex. dispatch queues - since they are essential). Otherwise a succinct and relevant course.

I have taken many of Brian's courses and I like that he covers widely applicable, advanced topics. There is an assumption that you have a base of knowledge and sometimes that means there isn't enough explanation, but overall I think he covers the essential information. I will continue to seek out his courses...

Brian often does everything too quickly. He comments what he is doing but explains it very seldom. Course is not much for learning, but more for seeing how things are done in daily routines.

So far the course has avoided the very basic stuff which is typically thrown in the "beginner to Advanced" type courses and focussed on the advanced IOS frameworks as promised.
By Motor Man on 12/21/2016
Wicked fast paced learning of advanced techniques. Instructor is very knowledgeable. Wish there were more explanations to concepts. I can use the techniques and research more to get that detail, so the class indeed is very useful. Thanks again.

The content is good but is quiet rushed, I'm concentrating on making it work but as someone with very little UI experience I would like a bit of background on the objects I'm using.
By Marian Stach on 11/22/2016
straight to the point, no rubbish around, great source of information! the author has a lot of knowledge and experience with the topics discussed. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
