How I'd Learn iOS Development Starting Over!

When I first learned iOS development, I failed and wasted a lot of time. I had to start over and relearn everything the right way.
In this video, you’re going to learn the 4 things I’d do to effectively and quickly learn iOS app development if i were starting all over again.

So helpful! I’ve been wating to get a new Mac and once I get that I plan to do these things to learn Xcode

[@MobileDeveloper1965]

I love you iOS fundamental 2020. I have learned a lot from it. The challenges are wonderful. I will go over it at least twice.

[@somnathjadhav3312]

Thanks for the video. When I was beginner in ios development your videos help me alot. The content quality of your videos are really great.

[@CodeWithChris]

This means a lot! Thank you! :) - Pat

[@wilsonpedrotamegajunior1053]

Hello, I'm new to this channel, but I must say this video is one of the best motivational video I've seen about learning, not just learning iOS development, but anything from the beginning. Congraluate for this awsome video Chris!!!

[@CodeWithChris]

Wow thank you so much for the kind words! :) - Pat

[@zurvey]

I definitely need a structured learning path too. I'm trying to decide between a code bootcamp or a program like Chris's. The bootcamp is much more expensive, of course, but I feel like I will have someone there when I get stuck and a short feedback loop to get unstuck. Whatever I do, I want to end up being truly skilled and able to both continue building on my skills, and to built real software that is of use for the real world.

[@CodeWithChris]

You can always try out different options and see what works best for you. With CodeWithChris, we have our CodeCrew forum where you can post questions and have experts and fellow students help you out. :) - Pat

[@jizhou749]

Thanks you, Chris. This video is more important than the courses.

[@CodeWithChris]

Well... don't forget our courses tho! We are here for those too 😆 @AdrienVillez

[@R2B2YT]

Chris ive dabbled in ios the last 4 years and everytime i come back i gotta relearn...im determined to stick with it this time...to give my life a sense of purpose...thanks for this video, many times ive been on the verge of just giving up....

[@CodeWithChris]

You can do it! :) - Pat

[@japonska2009]

My biggest problem was the logic. I never used to think so hard to think logicaly. and in programming this is a huge deal. so when i hear explanations, sometimes i just dont understand why we would do it like that and i get super confused. so i am doing mental training with exercises and solving coding challanges. also playing some strategy video games helps a lot to start thinking a lot. sure is hard hehe

[@CodeWithChris]

It can get difficult at times but that's why it helps doing exercises! - Pat

[@pemi232]

Hi, what are examples of the exercises and challenges you do?

[@natgenesis5038]

If you hate creativity so it’s not your path .

[@xenochaosxc]

It feels like I'm mostly on my own as someone who isn't much interested in iOS development, but only macOS development. All the books and courses center around iOS.

[@CodeWithChris]

True that the resources for macOS are pretty slim. Now with SwiftUI and Apple moving to the "One App for all Platform" direction, you could technically build an iOS and macOS app at the same time. Now I would take a look at Paul Hudson's books on his website Hacking With Swift (www.hackingwithswift.com/store) as he published a couple of books on Swift, iOS, macOS, etc... @AdrienVillez

[@ehzaanelham3208]

I’m a beginner 🙋🏻‍♀️ sometimes I feel demotivated🥲. Much needed video.Thank you Chris.

[@CodeWithChris]

You got this! :) - Pat

[@ProVokeGames]

The biggest issue I'm faced with right now. I began learning Swift/UIKit 3 years ago but have taken several long breaks due to work or life stuff. Now I'm faced with a choice, do I go fully into UIKit again? Or do I pursue SwiftUI for the future. Looking to land a job next year as a Jr Developer and would love any input on what you think. I think in a perfect world you'll learn both, but if SwiftUI is the future I have questions lol.

[@captainkyrgyzstan4516]

Choose uikit, it will be still used for many years

[@natgenesis5038]

SwiftUI it’s easier

[@englishvocabulary9953]

Best learning channel for ios . Also make video how to export app and run on your iphone real devices because people face problems while export.

Hey Chris Ive been working on social media iOS app and we are set to launch in December but need some further help. Do you accept project requests in return we give payment or equity

[@CodeWithChris]

We currently don't. Now we have a bunch of great students and admins in our forum and they should be able to help you and even Beta test your project! codecrew.codewithchris.com/ @AdrienVillez

[@MobileDeveloper1965]

Don’t ignore the fact that we need a suggested path for your courses. I am your enrolled student. At least you need to state the level of difficulty of each tutorial that builds an app such as the chatting and KZbin app. Also the required knowledge before attempting building these apps so that we know which tutorial to tackle first.

[@CodeWithChris]

Hey, thanks for saying that! It's exactly what we're doing behind the scenes right now and we're going to be sharing more details about it by mid Nov!

[@TheRealBlueBeanie]

SpriteKit, SceneKit, or UIKit? Which one should I learn, and which one is the most useful? - Thank You!

[@CodeWithChris]

These are libraries. And you use them depending on the application you’re trying to develop. The standard library we use are Foundation. If you’re working with an App that uses storyboards and XIB, you need to use UIKit but is you’re using the new declare user interfaces you need to use SwiftUI. You can learn more about this on our SwiftUI Tutorial for Beginners Course (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGPSm3ZsibOqrdU&ab_channel=CodeWithChris) and if you have questions you can also post them on our CodeCrew forum.

6 years of trying. And now I just quit. But I don’t know what I want in this life. So maybe there’s a time for another try 😢

[@CodeWithChris]

I did the same before moving full time into photography and video editing. We just need to find our own path! @AdrienVillez

[@sodapopjam]

If you've been trying for 6 years and have not made much progress, something is wrong with your learning path, or you're just not interested. Don't try to learn all by yourself, if you can't, it's better to ask or pay for help until you can progress on your own. But if you're not interested in the actual coding, there are other paths related to dev that don't require writing a lot of code, be a product designer, tester, product manager, etc. I am a firm believer that everyone can achieve their goals with enough discipline. Try setting realistic goals, not something like "Become a master coder in 7 days". Remember you don't need to know it all before you apply for jobs, you'll start from the bottom and learn along the way. Hope 2023 is a great year for all of us, let's work hard together!

[@natgenesis5038]

6 years???

[@h.s5501]

iam beginner I am new in the field of programming. Should I learn a programming language, then learn data structure and algorithms, then a field ios roadmap?

[@CodeWithChris]

Depending on what platform you want to focus on. Here at CodeWithChris, we focus on Swift and SwiftUI which is a programming language made by Apple for Apple software. Which means, if your focus is iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, iPadOS, etc.. then yes, learn Swift and SwiftUI with us. If you focus is Web and/or Android. Swift won't be used. Go for Flutter or Java. React, etc... I would focus on learning the basics of coding and leave the Databases, Data Structures, Algorithms, etc... for later. Learn to code, code everyday to become a better coder. Write code, not perfect code but code that works. Over time, with experience, you'll write better code and soon enough, you'll dive into the rest like data structure etc. No need to learn about all the fancy stuff if you don't write code yet! You'll lose motivation after roadblock because you won't see (or think you see) progress! Also, don't code alone! Join a group of motivated people, a bunch of friends, etc... with a goal to make a nice website or app! @AdrienVillez

@@CodeWithChris i want be native iOS developer.. what should l learn??

[@CodeWithChris]

Swift and SwiftUI with Xcode. This is the only path and language to learn. Check our newest videos! @AdrienVillez

[@jodelrajkumar5097]

Hi, I’m interested in app development, I know you mentioned patience. However in your experience how long would it take a beginner to learn and develop an app. Including time taking to complete the courses.

[@powellg]

Do you have experience in CS outside of app development? Probably 1-2 years to start. Do you have absolutely no CS experience? Probably 1-2 years to start

[@johnolin]

Do you recommend Apple’s Swift Playgrounds?

[@CodeWithChris]

Hi, Iñaki here, I'm an iOS dev working for CWC. You're referring to the Swift Playgrounds for iPad right? I played around Swift playgrounds in 2017 and was able to use it to teach coding to children. It's great to play around and learn Swift. The blank playgrounds back then supported programmatic UIKit, so I was able to play around showing views and stuff within that Playground. If you don't have access to a Mac and Xcode but wanted to learn and play around Swift, then yes, I recommend Swift Playgrounds. I haven't played around it recently, but I believe SwiftUI should be supported on recent versions. - Iñaki

[@johnolin]

@@CodeWithChris - I’m currently using it on the Mac actually! Just didn’t know where to start when it came to learning how to code in swift and that was the first &free option I found

[@MobileDeveloper1965]

I have joined your program. I paid for two years. I hope my decision is right.

[@TidalWaveDan]

I’m finding it frustratingly difficult to grasp the swift coding structure of a page. For instance, html has a doc, title, head, body… I see segments open abs close with no real explanation on what they do or why they’re placed where they are.

[@CodeWithChris]

There are no standard elements that you must have in your layout. You just have to learn which layout containers will suit your screen and then learn what user interface elements you can put inside those layout containers. You can try and check out this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ63gpZ_ga-Fmbs&start_radio=1 If you have any questions, you can post them on our CodeCrew forum.

What are the differences between the learning how to build an app in 8 days and 14 day challenge? It seem to me that they are about the same.
