As an about to start iOS Developer with CS background I really appreciate you Paul for doing such quality content. Hope to see you around on my way up. Made this so that is easier to navigate for others (All the video is such worth). You can add it to your video descrtiption and it will work natively with TH-cam. Thx for all Paul
HStack {
Text("Cheers bro"
Image(systemimage: "heart"
}
What a video! Honestly, if TH-cam had MVP awards, this would be it!
That's for sure, all clear !!! :)
See Paul’s hair? He’s aged more than avg. because of his iOS development obsession.
Definitely not the Minimum Viable Product, idk what you’re talking about
I can only underline that.
I will shurly use your advice and your great material
This has solidified my decision to learn Swift in 2022. I've been half-heartedly trying to learn a language for the last 5 or so years, time to buckle down and like you said, get rid of "shiny object syndrome" and just commit to learning it. Apple isn't going anywhere, and while it might feel "limiting" to learn a specific language, it does open you up to developing for Apple's entire ecosystem, which is nice. I really just want to build a scriptwriting app for myself, but learning the skills that will let me do that will lead to another income source for me as well, so it's a win win.
Im right here with you!
OK, me: the mistakes:
1) Memorizing - Got it-I've espoused this to my tech students for years.
2) Shiny Object Syndrome - Man, I thought that was a good thing. Back off, ADHD.
3) Lone wolf learning - Um, that's my main M.O., all my life. How does this Paul know me so well? ;)
4) Relying on Apple's documentation - Man, I was using that for late night reading material. ;) Seriously, point taken.
5) Getting lost in Objective-C - You are preaching to the choir, Master Hudson.
6) Taking shots on other languages - Good advice, especially when a lot of the jobs I see use other languages or scripting in conjunction with Swift (e.g., PHP).
Excellent video, worth repeated viewings to help keep a focused perspective.
Except the 4-5 hours a day-for me, I need to be soaking in it, and I don't want to do anything to stop this ball from rolling as well as it is. I guess everyone may have one exception to the rule.
i am confident that one day i will be a senior ios developer and the reason behind that confidence is paul hudson..
Same
I’m a Semi-Senior React Developer and I’m really interested in learning native iOS development. I found your channel and it’s helping me a lot so far, thank you for your great job!
Literally same!
Goal is definitely to get an iOS dev position for me and I’ve failed a few first-round interviews. It does feel a bit discouraging at times, but I know I will get better and will eventually land that position I’ve always wanted. Thank you Paul for all the free content you provide to the community and it’s much appreciated 🙏🏼
Best of luck! 🚀
Have you finally got it? And were you applying for a junior dev?
@@MrSojek I actually did. I’ve been working for almost 3 months now and it’s a pretty cool project.
@@marcoespinoza3327 Gratz!! I'm very happy for you...
@@marcoespinoza3327 bro how and where did you find a job?
Hello Paul. I just started your 100 Days of SwiftUI course, and I must say that this first video has been very inspiring. Thank you for your time and dedication in making this course free. You are a wonderful person and have great communication skills. Plus, you have two adorable dogs. It's clear that you are a fabulous person. Thank you.
It’s a great explanation !
I would put UIKit in core skills. I’d point out that you need to know UICollectionView, UITableView, auto layout, text field and text view and segmented control. I’d focus on very basic principles.
I totally agree with you
Not really in my opinion. New developers are better off focusing on SwiftUI and Swift.
Thank you Paul for your tremendous contribution to the community. I'm enjoy your videos, always makes me feel better.
I love when the dogs come in. Have a good day!
I'm already a senior software developer (C/C++/Java etc.) on Windows and Linux, now I start again as a junior on apple system - I'm so excited! :-)
I am so grateful for all the continuous contributions in which Paul Hudson makes… sometimes i feel i dont know if I’m able to break through certain learning barriers but just watching his videos and reading his books give me confidence to become relentless in my thought process and applications in learning swift by understanding the basics and go slow to improve faster and better in the future…Thank you so much :-)
I just got a Senior Software Engineer role, main with react, just to know that I love the little things that I have done with swift just for study, now I will study every night, weekend, holiday, until I got maybe a mid-level Ios Engineer at the end of this year!
Wish me luck! Just started a clone of the Netflix app!
Hi Paul! i'm just starting with your tuturials, and I love the passion you have teaching! I hope to learn more with you!
Now im even more tempted to learn Swift and SwiftUI. Your course was recommended to me a thousand times and im starting a bootcamp in a few months and for preparation im using your course. thank you so much for the work you've put in!
How did it go? What sort of bootcamp did you connect up with?
Thank you Paul, you encouraged me to keep learning my swift & swift UI. I have learned 3 months and know how to do some basic mission. To be honest, it is not easy for me as a rookie in coding industry. I really hope you can make a video to show all the new learners about the routine job we need to do as an ios developer. I am so confused about how to use what I have learned to do works or finish the missions. Thank you. Subscribed.😄
I’m really happy I watched this video in its entirety. Sometimes I stop working on my project for months because I’m afraid to ask a question on stack.
Paul, thanks for an excellent overview of the iOS landscape. I am venturing into learning iOS not for a job but as a new field to learn on my continuous learning path as I retire from my 35 year career. I found this overview very useful and focused on important points that really matter. I hope to gain some quick iOS ground by following your advise.
You are the best wow ,because most of people present us a lot of things
Simply the best course of iOS ever. I know it from this very first video. I am taking this 100 days challenge on SwiftUI. Thanks Paul!
What an absolutely gorgeous doggo, Paul! A thousand kisses and pats!
This is almost as long as a college lecture, and I did not wan't to close the video or skip ahead once. Good video!
Well, first of all, I thank you very much for making this video. Almost 1 year ago I arrived in the United States and I started from 0. I currently work at a McDonalds but I have always been interested in the technological world and today, researching and watching your videos, I am motivated to start my learning in the world of mobile development for ios . Thanks to you I have the general topics that I must cover. Now I am looking for a roadmap to delve into each general topic that you gave and know which route I should follow or at least where I should continue to be guided to start this adventure. I love apple and the entire ecosystem, I will persevere on this path.
Thank you for your guidance. I love that you mentioned having more willpower because that is important for people like me to not rush or skip ahead while learning the core skills
Described mistakes are not only about Swift, but they are more about general teaching rules for all the programmers
That’s incredible thoughts for beginners and even regular devs
Thank you Paul! the 100 days of SwiftUI is the best course for iOS I've ever done
Thank you Paul I have spent a lot of time learning different programming languages but you encouraged me to start a new journey with Apple and swift. Thank you again.
I put this comment in the first 50 seconds to just say that this Paul is very a nice guy , I like the passion he has for us
An incredible resource for someone getting started. It’s easy to get completely overwhelmed with all of the information and learning paths. Thanks for distilling it down for us!✊🏼
You just gave a very clear path for my returning to the developer's world. This video means a lot to me and watched it twice
Day 0. Let's Go!!!
When I see the title, I said to myself to watch just the first minute as I already have a job as an iOS developer, but Paul put so much effort to this and this is very helpful and informative so I ended watching the whole video.
Thanks Paul!
Always nice to watch this video once in a while. The code so bad you’ll break the Geneva convention section keeps me going. Thanks again Paul, really appreciate it.
37:42 I feel so exciting, I am learning Swift UI from Chris's videos.
Paul, great video! As usual. But I cannot agree with one of your arguments that UIKit is an extension skill. It seems to me that nowadays most of the IT companies require a good foundation of UIKit and you can see SwiftUI in the job requirements rarely. SwiftUI is a great framework and we as the developers should pay a lot of attention to it, but yet it is extremely crucial to cover all UIKit basics and more in order to land a job.
@@shazyoutube UIKit will be around for a long time! Many larger companies still use Obj-C. Who do you think will be servicing the currently existing 10's of thousands of apps all built in UIKit? You absolutly need a strong skillset in both if you plan t compete in future job markets. And UIKit if you want a job right now. Maybe for an Indie dev, SwiftUI only might be good advice.
I started making some simple interfaces on swift UI but then I felt lost in where to go next. This video helped me to get back on track. Thanks
This man is a treasure. Protect him at all costs.
Thanks for the awesome information and support! Your channel and program was recommended to me from an Apple developer :-)
Superb overview, packed with practical wisdom & links to valuable resources. Thanks, Paul!!
You are the best on TH-cam teaching swift
Sean Allen is a great resource in youtube.
So glad to have come across this video. Put's everything in perspective for an absolute beginner. Thank you Sir!
Thanks Paul for your encouragement and conscientous teaching and guiding.
so i learned swift on my own and at my own pace for a year or so and then quit before the pandemic hit...looking to get back into it, hopefully this video is still relevant for 2022....thank you
Paul, you're an awesome human being. Thank you for existing.
Absolutely fantastic video, specifically for someone new to programming,
hey Paul! starting my journey today, if everything went okay, I'll be finishing it by december 1st. hope comeback here to say that I had a blast and you made my dream possible. :-)
This may be most helpful resource for learning ios development! Thanks Paul!
Thank you for this video Paul. You are a legend. Thank you so much for this video. (Shiny object guy here... 😬)
I really just started to your course. Things you share below your video shows what a perfect human you are!!! Thank you sincerely! Even this made believe that I will learn a lot of things from you 100 days of Swift journey. Greetings from Istanbul
You explain everything so beautifully that every time I have a problem I go straight to your website and bam! You’ve explained it there. I just want to thank you and say that I appreciate your efforts.
Paul, thank you! I'm just beginning my journey and am very happy to find you and your channel. You have given me a plan of action that I will follow for as long as I need to.
Thanks Paul, Great advice.
Thanks Paul for putting this together. You're making the path to an iOS career clearer with every video.
I've been developing Android software since 2017 and now I'm excited to also learn iOS development.
Thank you, Paul, I will have a job interview in 2 days and I was so worried about what should I know about swift. Now I am relaxed a bit and gonna work more efficiently for my interview.
You're great, your tutorials helped me a lot ^^
You are a hero Paul.
I had some experience in python, c, c#, and js before I started learning Swift. I was hired exactly after 3 month of learning it, while getting CS degree.
So at least if u have a bit of tech background it’s totally possible to get a job in 2-3 month, if u have no background I’d like to say 6 month is a more real point where u probably know enough to be a junior dev, 9-12 is when u know enough for sure, and even a bit more.
So good luck and patience for all the beginners here, u can do it 😌
Harder or easier than Java?
New to swiftUI.... I’m convinced 👍🏾
Thank you, Paul! It's very useful information. You help me stay motivated!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I currently work at a large company as an SDK developer which is used by all of our clients. Some of which are mobile apps, and I have been leading the teams push to move to SwiftUI and all of our newer internal features are built using SwiftUI. But its taking time since SwiftUI wasn’t really usable until iOS 14 and we have to support older OS versions for user facing features. It seems like a lot of big apps target versions as old as iOS 12 so I’m guessing SwiftUI is around 2 years away from being a real UIKit replacement.
I love swift since last year June 2021 and did a udemy course for 6 months and stopped because i was interested in machine leanring but after watching your video you're right i shouldn't beat my self up it takes awhile since i started at 0(no background) it might take 1 year thanks for the video its been really helpful
excellent video. I wish something like this existed 2 years ago.
Thanks for this video, Paul!!!
Amazing content, just starting my ios learning after 10+ years as a frontend developer.
dude this is the most informative video of this type on yt
Amazing job once again Paul. So structured, so concise, so Apple-like in the way you precent it all. All in all just all the points I feel I needed to know. Thank you so much for all your work! This is going to be many hours of awesome learning I can tell. 🙏📚
Thank you for the thorough overview, Paul! I'm transitioning from a web dev role to iOS development bc I love coding with Apple devices/the community. This lays out some stuff I need to explore for sure, will try to start with 100 days of SwiftUI!
This video was way better than i thought it was going to be. Literally all my questions and doubts answered 👏🏾
Thanks Paul. This hit home. I made some objective c apps back in the day but haven't had the motivation to learn swift. Going to start diving in!
you're fantastic, love your doggo
I can’t emphasize learning git enough.
I’ve worked at companies where you have senior and lead developers not knowing how to use git properly And causing massive problems like force pushing and blowing up master.
You are so fantastic! In this video I think you shared everything I need to start and anwered all my questions about starting a Swift(UI) job. Thank you!
Oh my God! You just explained everything and I have been doing it the wrong way.. Thank you so much for letting me know about this things, I am so happy I watched this video.
Thank you so much Paul you're videos have been very helpful
Ah, the picture of the pig you showed when you were talking about Core Data… it was hilarious. I felt a bit guilty enjoying that picture so much, because I really really want to like Core Data. But yeah. Every year, somebody seems to post “modern replacement to Core Data” in their WWDC wishlist. And I’m right there, thinking “We can hope!”
This video is amazing, thank you
Man, u made it! What a nice video fella!!
Paul what a great intro. Juan
I tried to learn how to build iOS apps before Swift, on Objective-C and it was the main reason i gave up almost immediately
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
I am inspired! Thank you
Great down to earth iOS dev skills advise! 🙏 Looking forward to starting the swift UI journey
Great video as usual.
Outstanding advice thank you Paul. From someone who developed their first app using ObC 10 yrs ago and found it VERY painful. Looking forward to using these resources and re-entering iOS dev with swift.
Thank you Paul for your sincerity and for all what you are doing for others.... Gratitude 🙏
Do you have a Trivia Book that I can Buy you? the trivia app that i am interesting is trivia with categories. One trivia questions about animals, other about universe, other about fruits, Etc Etc.... if you have a book like that I buy now.
Hi Paul - I am a beginner and about to embark on the 100 days of SwiftUI journey, but I have one question... is this course from 2021 still 100% relevant today? Or have there been any changes that make parts of this course... different than Swift/Xcode/etc. from 2023?
Thanks a lot for your gigantic work in a way of inspiring people learn Swift and iOS development. It is so amazing process to learn by your courses and books. Thank you so much!
Thank you from the core for being so helpful… I have been like a false beginner for ages.. now about to become old and weary both in age and experience.. but still learning swift is first in my bucket list. This video gave me hope
Listening again to this in 2024. I think SwiftData is probably a core rather than extension skill now. Or at least, a database solution of your choice: Firebase, or Realm perhaps…
Thank you Paul,
After much confusions and conversations whether to go with famous web development or iOS development
I decided with iOS development.
But still I am sceptical whether it's a good decision or not. Because I am 32, I have no coding experience and wanted to switch from my successful digital marketing career. This video gave me that confidence.
Thank you and I am sticking with iOS. Let's build those apps
Thanks, this is really helpful. I was planning on learning Objective-C as an extension skill, but thanks to this video I'll learn SwiftUI instead. So it's probably saved me a lot of time. Thanks again, and I've subscribed.
Objective-c is still the way to go when doing multi platform as it binds perfect with c++ libs and business layer
Where was this video when I was starting? Great video!
Thank you so much Paul for this video!! 🙌
big thank you Paul!
your site it fantastic resource of knowledge
God bless you!!!!
Thanks for explaining simple but very important things! Hello from Ukraine !)
Thank you, You cannot imagine how this video help me🙏
You are amazing! Thank you!
Just finish watching . This is amazing videos. This motivates me to continue the Ios developer lessons. Thanks for the advice.
