This video series will teach a beginner with no programming experience how to make iPhone apps. I'm creating these videos with the assumption that the student has no prior knowledge and is starting from scratch.

I just bought a MacBook Air just to start learning iOS development, Your channel is the first one I'm watching <3 keep up the good work and wish me luck to make my own apps <3

I wrote several apps that were published in 2014-2016 but I let my developer license lapse and I got away from programming in Swift. I hope to start writing apps again. Swift and Xcode have changed CONSIDERABLY since my hiatus from coding and if your subsequent videos are anything like this one, it's exactly the refresher course I need. Nice job!
