I’ve tried this earlier today. It’s actually amazing how well it runs, it’s so much smoother than Xcode on my Mac. And not just by a little margin. They even translated the error messages and UI library elements to German and other languages. Not even Xcode offers this

dude sharing his knowledge and flexing his beautiful family at the same time.
Hats off to you you sir.

Oh my word! I am SO happy I found your videos! You are so easy to listen to & explain things in such a simple way! I am a preschool teacher, teaching myself Swift so that I can transition into a career in edTech. Your videos are exactly what I need. Thank You! Swift, here I come!

Thanks to this video. I was able to understand Swift programming. I am ZERO in programming and this made me comfortable playing with it. Thank you very much! ✌🏿

[Harrzack]

EXCELLENT tutorial! I’m a retired programmer (38 years). Having worked with c++, the missing “;” is at first disconcerting… but easy to get into. Your vid is very well presented, easy understand. Unlike so many YouTube vid, you speak at a normal pace, and there is no raucous music! 🙏🍺. Will be looking for more of your work -THANKS.

Paul, if Steve could see now... this is an excellent job showing how to get started with Playgrounds 4. This is what I've been waiting for.

I’m wanting to learn to code, and then I found this app, and it’s been fun and interactive to learn the basics of coding. Your video was very helpful in my journey to learn to code, and develop

Love the content Paul, great work, I am new to Swift ( 25 years with Java Scala and Python ) as I am trying to build an IPad App for my son with Autism, I feel confident that I will be able to do it now and even enjoy the process. Many thanks

you are a perfect teacher. thank you very much Paul

[mammachiaa]

This is amazing!! Super simple tutorial! Thank you, Paul for making coding so easy!!

[ScottSmithDev]

Wow, this has to be one of the most pleasant videos of yours that I’ve watched, Paul! How you included your lovely daughters and that sweet pup of yours really made me smile 😊 — especially when hearing their sounds! Your enthusiasm and excitement for this huge playgrounds update really showed, and the information you shared was very informative. So glad I have a solid overview of the new playgrounds now. Thank you!

This is great! Doing this for almost "free money" here on YouTube.... tells to us that you really want to teach some great material. All the best Paul

One of the best video on how to quickly learn SwiftUI using iPad :-) great work! definitely a good place to start learning SwiftUI

[ntmatias]

You are a genius. I have just downloaded it, and you present a video, 8 minutes later... thanks. One question, I haven't found out how to include core data in the project.

[karhoshe]

Thanks Paul, bring me back all the joy and excitement for building iOS App with SwiftUI. Enjoy so much. 😃

[SwiftySanders]

Thanks for this Paul. iPad is my favorite Apple product ever and I am excited to play with Swift Playground some more on my iPad.

[carfish]

I feel like this is the future of coding, at least for non technical developers. And maybe one day we'll just be able to speak to our iPad or Mac and it'll do all the work. I get it takes a bit of the romanticism of coding away, but opening it up to every single person out there that may want to build an app sounds incredible.

[belu]

Thank you for the great tutorial video. It inspired me to give it a try. Developing from time to time on the iPad - just for fun - is great. To me, a further tutorial on how to store data (e. g. texts) in the iCloud/CoreData with Swift Playgrounds would be phantastic - if possible.

[vrajsavani]

Absolutely Brilliant! This helped me understand some of the basics of SwiftUI and Introduced me well to Swift Playgrounds. Thank you 🙏

[nordicest]

Thank you for the short intro :)! Would love to see more because I use my iPad Pro as my main device and building apps with Playgrounds is something I would like to learn more.
