Introduction To Swift Programming

Great introduction to swift programming Great Course Not bad.

Since it is an introduction to Swift programming I believe it should contain more information about particular topics, not in depth but essence of course.

I'm an experienced programmer, and I thought this would be a good introduction to Swift; it wasn't.

It is a very good introduction to Swift.

Awesome for beginners Nice introduction to Swift essentials.

I am sure if you are familiar with the content or an expert programmer looking for an overview of a new language then this would be perfect but you do need to understand swift before starting this introduction to swift.

good overview and introduction to Swift Unfortunately the course is not very well thought out.

It's really hard to follow this course without previous background in iOS development, despite it's called "Introduction To Swift Programming".

Sadly, this course is NOT an Introduction to Swift Programming.

I think this course should not be based on image processing as the name of the course is introduction to swift programming but image processing is not that common.

The final assignment asked you to do things you hadn't been taught.

El curso no está bien planeado ni explicado This is very good course for iOS beginners The weekly lectures/assignments did little to prepare for the final assignment.

They were short and high level without any coding to back them up.It is possible to blaze through the first four weeks in a couple hours.....and then spend weeks on the final assignment because you will need to learn most of it on your own by looking through api documentation.To the instructors: If you want to see what a good "intro to language" course looks like, checkout:https://www.coursera.org/course/programming1 Videos could be more comprehensive.

final assignment is quite vague on the requirements needed by the instructor.

allow time for the Final assignment.

great so far, I love the approach of teaching swift before going into building apps , definitely recommend The course seemed to be very easy, I'd say even disappointingly easy, but then, when I started the final assignment, I realized that I was wrong.

very nice course, not difficult quizs Huge gap between videos and final assignment.Videos should be edited, we are not interested in trials and errors of the instructors.

Enjoyed the modules, especially final assignment.

The final assignment was peer reviewed, but the feedback (based on student feedback) was not very useful.

Submission is buggy and final assignment is confusing.

I also thought the tests were vaguely worded and the final assignment was long and definitely more than the 30 minutes it said it would take to complete it.

This course really need examples in final assignment Basically a couple of guys have an unorganized discussion about swift.

Problem: outdated version of XCode is recommended.

quite good Good content, but it should be updated to reflect the latest version of Xcode and Swift.

In the future, you can update your projects to Xcode 8 using Apple's source code migration tool.```2018 and please just accept the newer version of Xcode projects while students can.

Stuck on Swift 2, in a long dead version of Xcode - would be great if they could update the course - especially if they expect people to pay for it.

The final project asked us to do things that hadn't even been mentioned in the course materials.

But to be incorporated into the very first module of this pathway it seems doing so is, what it seems like most introductory programming courses invoke, and, is quite a leap to embark upon especially without first being offered stepping stones sufficient enough to feel certain you have adequate understanding to be able to sift through the information provided and subsequently decide upon which aspects are relevant in order to attempt to accomplish the tasks set that ultimately form to complete the final project.

Without the essential basic foundational mixture how is it possible to engage newcomers enough for them to determine when they will then feel equipped to attempt a final project?

That said, there is so much more to learn.Make sure you look at the final project after each module to get an idea for all the opportunities to apply the optional materials.

You can still pass without doing using the concepts in the optional sections but there is time to get even more out of the final project if you prepare and explore.

So for most of the students, I believe, will have to do a lot of self-studying to finish the final project.But still, the final project is challenging and interesting.

While showing code in video lectures instructor was quick to delete code, not giving time for students to view and understand what had just been shown.On Dec 15, two weeks before due date of final project, large portions of all weeks of the course were changed, requiring going back through to complete these new lectures.

No adjustment was made to the due date.Requirements for the final project are vague and confusing and I am not able to submit the final project by the due date in about 2 hours.

I do not recommend this course (and as a matter of fact, the entire specialization) to anyone.

I, as a mobile developer of 5 year, do not recommend this course at all.

This is very well course that tell you how can you programming in Swift.

it is great Fundamentals explained very well It was simple good starter lesson..

The course was very well organized, but the main topics of the course were still covered.

I hope other concepts will be explained in the next courses, but I have to say this course is held very well.

Details here: https://www.coursera.org/learn/swift-programming/discussions/DBk-SJO2EeWNbBIwwhtGwQ Learned more about image processing than Swift.

The module on image processing should be reviewed as after some point it becomes sort of boring.

I think this course could be much better without Jack Wu, laughing every few seconds.

Unnecessary with the Swift vs Objective C session, did not provide any value - otherwise fairly good basic course Teachers poorly prepared, explanations ambiguous, it seems that they didn't pay attention to examples and sound of the course.I love Jack Wu written tutorials... way better than videos.

It seems the instructor Jack Wu didn't prepare the course material.

L Felt like the teachers weren't putting much time into preparation - felt random and disorganized.

I felt like I was listening to two geeks stuffing around and having a good time, instead of people who are professional teachers!

Closures capture the variable itself, not the variable value I am dropping the course.Suggestions1) One person talk to the audience...rather than 2 or 3 talking to each other2) Volume and pic quality poor3) Its going too slowly.....just not enough "meat" to get me engaged...esp if u compare to the course by Paul Hegarty Stanford It felt like amateur course.

Like I said, its only my opinion but this is where the interconnection and building of the knowledge base falls short at an early stage of development.
