UITableView Tutorial w/ Custom Cells - Programmatic - Swift 5 - Xcode 11

In this Swift tutorial we're going to build a UITableView with a custom UITableViewCell completely programatically. No Storyboard. I go through building it, and the give a summary at the end for full understanding.

This tutorial was built using Xcode 11 and Swift 5.1.

I just can't express how I grateful for this tutorial! You are amazing!

[natelehoux]

Best programmatic table setup tutorial I've found. Awesome job explaining the details!

From a 6 year experience Android developer, this is a very informative tutorial. Swift is really kinda like a brother to Kotlin. Cheers

Mannn! One thing I like about your videos is that the explanations are crystal clear, and the codes incredibly neat and tidy. Really satisfying and sexy! Keep up the great work man!

[KevinFi]

Excellent video! You are by far the best Swift instructor I have come across. Your ability to explain exactly what you are doing and why you are doing it is phenomenal and VERY helpful to the viewers! I learnt a lot from this video.

Man it's insane how every problem that im facing while trying to build something programatically, you've already made a long, specific, teaching video to solve my issues. THANK YOU!

I didn't even need the wrap-up at the end. It was very easy to follow. I agree that the abstractions help understand the code better, so they're worth it.

Good video and I too find programmatic code very verbose. Luckily with SwiftUI, this entire list with cells can be written in about 15 lines. Doing videos in the future will be much easier.

What I would really like to see is a video on the new Diffable datasource including all CRUD actions plus move rows. This would really be helpful moving forward.
