This YouTube channel is just phenomenal. Products here helps me out SO MUCH and makes coding in Swift just so much exciting.

Am learning a lot from you day by day from basics to advance... Keep doing that great work.. Thanks and wish you a good luck for the upcoming tutorials of that series.

Personally, I prefer these more advanced, technical tutorials. Good job here.

This is a great video Brian. Just what I needed. I was about to look into UserDefaults but the FileManager will work best for larger datasets I would think. Thanks.

I need help regarding this, how do i access the slack channel?

[mjwmediadesigns]

is there a way of unselecting the crossed out text? if you marked it as complete by accident?

Nice video man! You should make a video about sidebar menu or bottom nav bar and animating it.

03:58 Aren't JSON booleans true/false, not 0/1?

I want example of get data from json api and store on coredata

hi, I have a question now after creating the documentDirectory where can i find it? to see the data inside

I tried this but wont work if I added or another type. Looping through all files will try to decode in the same type.

btw. having almost 50kb per files for atleast for hundreds of records will still be ok for performance?

Hi Brian, great tutorial. I have some questions though...

1. Why didn't you decide to use Coredata? When would Coredata be ideal vs. saving to the file directory?
2. If its Coredata, would we still need to create the datamodel? Or the structure inside Coredata acts as the datamodel already?
3. Is it possible to refactor out the let url part and checking of the filemanager if it exists? How will it be done?

Thank you!

What's the color scheme you use? Awesome tuts bud!

HI, Interesting Tutorial. Is it not better to handle the possible errors rather than just throw a fatal error ? By for example having your functions return optionals. You almost did that with the return data function, but instead of returning nil if it didn't exist you threw a fatal error. Is that not one of the reasons for optionals existing ?

[michaelnatolejr]

Nice tutorial. But could you explain why are you using this method of storing objects instead of using Core Data?

[LifeCasts]

Hey, your tutorials are awesome but you also do Android?

[codinggyan]

we want more videos based on any specific projects, i have already youtube channel, i start my youtube channel to poor student that can't afford online bootcamp and training class, so please..
