SwiftUI Fundamentals from Pluralsight

Building for iOS is an incredibly valuable skill for any developer. This course will teach you to make iOS apps with adaptive user interfaces that work on multiple devices using Xcode, Swift, and SwiftUI.

Developing for iOS is a valuable and in-demand skill, but if you haven't developed in the Apple world before, it can be surprisingly different. In this course, SwiftUI Fundamentals, you'll quickly get up and running using Xcode 15, Swift, and SwiftUI to establish the foundational skills you need to build great user interfaces for iOS.

First, you'll see the tools and learn how to use SwiftUI to create single-screen applications with adaptive user interfaces that work on multiple devices.

Next, you’ll learn how to bring your own style to a SwiftUI user interface by customizing its appearance.

Finally, you'll explore working with data-driven controls and understand navigation options for multi-screen applications.

When you’re finished with this course, you'll know current best practices, iOS architecture, and the most important ideas you need to feel comfortable bringing your developer skills into the iOS and Apple developer world.
