As an iOS dev, I get asked many times about where to begin. From now on, this video will be my answer. Great work! :)

[coding_university_]

I like the fact that you touched on every aspect of the iOS app development. You are a great teacher! More so, a good person because you are not just teaching but also strive to make sure people understand. Thank you!

[riribud]

there are sooo many youtube 'beginner' coding lessons, but by far this IS THE ONE! truly explains everything perfect. Ive been searching for this video

[williamhammond]

Hi Sean, loving the course - you're a fantastic teacher.
Personally, I would love to see a video where you do a bit of a dive into the day-to-day of a job in iOS development. What your routine was, what parts of a project you worked on, etc.
Much love from the U.K.

[talhayousaf]

Don't think take this course and you're ready, The most honest thing I ever heard from an instructor

[bitwisedevs]

What's really cool in programming is that even you already knew how things work, there's still some information that you may find new and somehow learned from it. In the end it doesn't matter if you already know this and that stuff, you can still learn from it by having someone explaining it which could be in a different perspective/approach. That is why I still sometimes watch basic topics even though I have a good understanding of it.

[Uyghur_Ata]

As a web developer who is currently jumping into iOS development, I can confirm that this tutorial is perfect for beginner!

[Aleksandra-ewwq]

Thank you Sean for this course, especially for sharing real life experiences and self doubts throughout your journey. You are such an inspiration! Love the teaching style and energy.😊

[dominicortega]

This is the best instructor so far. Most of the tutorials just tell the documentation. Seal teaches the real life coding.

[swimxxallenxx]

Hey Sean. This was my first tutorial for XCode coming from Java and the quality is amazing here. I've finished this tutorial just in time for WWDC23. Cheers.

[nateh]

Trying to get into iOS dev after realizing my current career path that I went to school for isn't for me, and I'm learning on my own completely from scratch. I'm still in the early stages and I have been desperately looking for someone to break things down exactly like this video does. I'm only at the beginning of the vid, but already feel excited. Thank you for putting this out there and giving me hope!!

[adrianmarinB]

absolute rockstar for making this available here! you rock!

[ChristopherCricketWallace]

this is a big baller move, man. So much good karma for this!
Way to go, Sean!

[natafontoura]

Thanks for this Sean, this course is amazing and will help many people like me that are just starting in iOS journey. The community is grateful!!

[superocti]

I watched this as an objc-only iOS dev wanting to get familiar with Swift while also getting a refresher on writing apps from scratch.

I have to say it’s great how you cover many things, beyond just the language and frameworks, that are really important as an app developer.

Chrono Trigger was the cherry on top.

10/10 would binge again.

Дякую за величезну пророблену роботу, виконану для цього курсу! Дякую за курс - чудовий, інформативний, прекрасний лектор! Чудові ідеї які буду втілювати в життя! )

[mitswifty]

Amazing course & what a great gift to the iOS community. Thanks for making this & sharing it Sean.

[JustFelipeBrito]

As a Flutter dev, I found this course very informative for those who already have some baggage too!
I didn't even skip the fundamentals, the definition of learning is being able to explain things not just in one way, but more than 3 or 4 to call it a plain knowledge. I'm on the "2 hour mark" and I see myself taking notes all the time to have different approaches to the topics and your explanation on the chapter Optionals is OUT OF THIS WORLD, Sean. Keep up the good work!

(I'll be editing and updating it while I'm going along it 😁)

[vuduc]

Amazing 10 hours course. Thank you so much!

[ToddClemens]

New Year’s resolution is to learn iOS Dev in 2023. Excited to use this course. Happy to see a newer course than old courses.
