Thank you for watching! Plenty more coming if you are interested, and good luck on your own journey!

Thanks a lot for watching!

That'll hold true for every new language and stack you learn, they get easier and easier as you realize that the underlying ideas remain mostly the same. Don't be scared to branch out to new things either! Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot for watching! New video every friday afternoon!

By far the kind of comments that inspire me the most to keep going, thanks a lot! Good luck learning swift, you got this!

Thanks a lot, glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the comment! Doing my best to post once a week on Friday or Saturday depending on how busy I am!

Happy it was informative and helped you make your decision, thanks for checking out my videos!

I would also recommend the eBook version of SwiftUI for Dummies - he explains it very clearly and slightly more detail than Paul Hudson so you know why things are done in a certain way.

@@draytond Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it!

@Iron Bear - How did the 100 days go? What do you think of Yu's course? I played with Basic about 25 years ago a bit and have worked in html for 20 years. Would you say it's a great path for someone like myself to go? Thanks. Hope it was a great 100 days!

How did it go Iron?

I’m glad you found something that worked for you! Good luck on your journey, you got this!

Glad it could help, best of luck to you!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

It is a very well done course, if it fits your learning style then you can't go wrong with it! I'm glad it's working out well for you!

@Landon Hughes Did you finished the course?

@@paulhiggins4504 yes! Kinda! I got to the halfway point which is all basic swift/ios fundamentals, then I started working on my own app. That app is on pause at the moment due to my college classes. Around the 50-60% mark is when I started feeling comfortable with my own projects. After that, she dove into CoreML and ARKit which didn't really interest me. Hope this helps!!

@@Landon_Hughes thanks

@@paulhiggins4504 np

Glad I could help!

Thank you very much for the support! 5k next maybe?

Awesome to hear! You got this, let me know how it goes!

I'm glad it helped, thanks for watching!

Of course! I hope it was useful!

Assalamu aalykum

Thanks for watching, glad it was useful!

Good luck to you on your journey! I’m sure you’ll do great, swift is a very nice language to pick up, and the community around it is truly amazing so you’ll always have a bunch of ressources online to help you learn!

@@TheGreenDeveloper Your video was a big help. Really, thank you!

Hey man I'm roughly in the same spot you were in 2 years ago when you posted this comment. Mind sharing your experience with learning swift and some tips also?

It's a bit unfortunate, but it's the tradeoff we have to make for now to be able to work on a platform like iOS that is so widely used. Who knows, maybe in the future we'll get some lower level APIs to access the hardware more directly.. but maybe I'm dreaming a little bit!

@@TheGreenDeveloper I have a workaround for my purposes, I can use wired ethernet rather than USB, but it's just not my first choice. I'm just trying to get an iPad to communicate with multiple external devices. Also, there is a RS-232 cable made by Redpark, but it only runs on Objective C, which I don't know.

Thanks for your support! Good luck with your swift journey!

Hope it was useful, thanks for watching!

If you are a complete beginner, look up the 100 days of swift linked in the description of this video, the first 10 or so days look at programming basics using swift. If you take your time you should be able to work through those 10 days without any prior programming knowledge, good luck with it!

@@TheGreenDeveloper thanks a lot. i'll def chech that out but do you also suggest swift playground?

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

My initial guess would be to look into doing that through SceneKit, apple's framework for adding 3D content to apps. I haven't personally worked with it too much but try looking for a SceneKit intro guide and you'll definitely be able to see if it fits your needs!

@@TheGreenDeveloper ok thanks

Thanks! Love your content!

First of all thanks a lot for the kind words and for subscribing, it really means a lot! Second, I don't really believe you will need much more than the Stanford course, like I say in the video, once you have the basics down you should try working on a personal project. You'll eventually learn everything you need to know by just having to figure out how to make it work in your projects. Especially if you are studying computer science, you won't really have any gaps in general programming knowledge anyway. Also, one quick word about Udemy sales, the courses are 99% of the time on sale, don't get caught in rushing a decision to buy a course because of that, it's a bit of a tactic to sell more courses that I don't personally enjoy, but what can you do. As far as SwiftUI vs UIKit, it's up to you and what you plan to do with iOS development going forward. If your plan is to work at a big company or something like that you'll need to know UIKit sooner or later just because there's going to be UIKit code being maintained for a long while still. If you want to try something newer, and be a bit ahead of the curve when companies start transitioning over you can learn SwiftUI first. Whatever you chose, you'll probably end up learning the other one at some point anyway just because we are right into the middle of that big transition. Don't stress about it too much, and just pick whatever looks more fun to start off with would be my recommendation! Hope that helps!

@@TheGreenDeveloper Thank you for the reply! I actually just bought the course before you replied, but it says I have 30 days to get a refund so I'll sit on it for a couple days. I think I'll just stick with the Stanford course for now, as it's free and I've already started! Hopefully I can get through it and start my own project in a month or so. Thanks again, brother!

Thanks for watching! I got a video just about that if you'd like to watch! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sGNlfmOsmYBns6c.html

@@TheGreenDeveloper thanks man I’ve subbed !! Will watch tomorrow !

It really depends on your short and long term goals with swift whether you should learn SwiftUI (100 days of SwiftUI) or UIKit (100 days of Swift). I have a video outlining some questions that can help you decide! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qKaKeHqrn5uqu5c.html Hope that helps!

Good luck with it! :)

@@TheGreenDeveloper 😁

You can take a look at this video, I talked about that question. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qKaKeHqrn5uqu5c.html

Yeah, you don't really have any other options than using Xcode in some capacity if you want to build for iOS.

I've gotten a couple comments about that recently, and since it's a bit of a complicated answer to give I'll make an actual video about it so I can go into enough details so that it's actually helpful! Stay tuned for that!

@@TheGreenDeveloper - Good idea, looking forward to it !

Glad it helped, good luck!

Once you’re confident with a language and platform it’s always easier to move to new ones because you’ve gotten the basics and general ideas out of the way already. I don’t think it’ll be too difficult to learn swift. If you weren’t using typescript you might have to adjust a little bit to using a typed language, and you’ll have to adjust going from a declarative UI to imperative if you learn UIKit. But I’m sure you won’t have any issues going through that. Swift is a very easy and straightforward language to learn so you should be okay!

@@TheGreenDeveloper I’ve only just started using typescript, but I learn pretty fast anyways. Thanks for this. Could I just ask one more question? Why would I move from react to swift? My main motivation right now is because I think the app would perform better. But I’m unsure really. The internet is pretty divided but I figured that most people are just react fanboys. I want to make super performative apps. Please let me know 😅

Depends on your goals, I've talked about it in this video ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qKaKeHqrn5uqu5c.html. It's very much in a long and slow transition between both right now so there's no perfect answer.

I personally haven't tried it but it looks like a fun way to learn the basics!

@@TheGreenDeveloper thank you!

HTML doesn't really cover the base programming logic you'll encounter in actual programming languages so I would say no. Remember I'm just saying it might be a good idea to get a surface level idea of other languages because I know people that jump into a specific language without ever touching another one get scared of moving to different platforms down the road. It's not going to hinder you in any way to learn swift and iOS dev if you don't learn anything else, it's just a good thing to keep in mind and maybe stay at least curious of other languages as you progress in your programming journey.

There are ways to learn through a virtual machine if your goal is iOS programming. But I personally wouldn't really recommend it. For a beginner you don't need an extremely powerful machine so maybe look into an older used Mac mini to get you started. Also, is there a reason you specifically want to learn swift over another language or platform?

100 days of swift is a good starting point in my opinion. Anything mentioned in this videos description will do a great job at teaching you the basics!

Depends on your goals, I've talked about it in this video ukposts.info/have/v-deo/naqEeZWMiGuGu40.html

@@TheGreenDeveloper thanks, watched it and found it helpful. Do you have a list of common used features that need native code when developing with flutter for example? My experience with xamarin was horrible, but you only find that out after spending weeks on it, to come to the point of nderstanding it wasn't your fault.

@@harry356 Take this with a grain of salt as I have not personally used Flutter, but my guess would be most things that interact heavily with the hardware are probably going to be better done in native. My limited experience with react native for example was that you had to put in a ton more work for these types of features to work with the limitation of react compared to just using native. I'm sure there would be more exhaustive examples of what is harder to do with flutter if you find someone with experience with it though!

I have a video specifically about that, take a look if you'd like! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sGNlfmOsmYBns6c.html

I can't really speak for which is more up to date right now since I haven't checked in a bit. But Paul from Hacking with Swift is usually absolutely incredible at keeping his content up to date. It's very impressive how he manages to do that honestly, so without even looking I would personally bet that hacking with swift is completely up to date.

@@TheGreenDeveloper thank you!

Yes pretty much

You can look up Swift Playgrounds on an iPad if you want to get started. Otherwise there are options online to use a VM or rent a Mac online and use a Remote Desktop connection but it's ultimately going to be a worst experience than using a cheaper Mac in my opinion. So not impossible but in my opinion if you actually want to develop on a Mac and not just use a remote machine for builds for example, you're better off having a Mac.

I think hacking with swifts 100 days of swift is probably your best bet. You’ll learn fast since a lot of ideas overlap with Android development, so that resource will be best since you can easily skim over some of the more simple stuff.

Yeah definitely not ideal, but not much we can do about it! As a beginner you can definitely get by with an older machine though. Maybe check if you have family or friends upgrading that could give you a good deal on an older Mac so you can get started!

Thanks a lot for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
