I started back with Objective C about 10 years ago and became very comfortable in creating very complex programs. One program in perticular which is being used by the Film, TV and Documentary industries. But when Apple switched over to Swift, I have been struggling to convert my frame of mind to Swift. Sadly, I have been lagging and I have not been able to make the paradigm shift and converting my mind to this new mind set. And then came SwiftUI and threw my mind in another downward spiral. I have been struggling since, TILL NOW. Mr. Lynch, you have opened the blinds and I am starting to see the sunshine. YOU TRULY HAVE THE GIFT OF EXPLAINING PRINCIPALS IN A VERY CALMING WAY. You have me hooked, line and sinker. Thank you very much. There is certainly more coffee coming your way.

Yay great tutorial ! WIth Symfony and API Platform as a backend it was so tricky to get data because of their key name (hydra:member, hydra:totalItems etc...), this video solved my problem

Fantastic tutorial! Great explanation, thank you :)

Since we use CodingKey, do we still need a strategy for decoder?

Hello sir, i want to ask if i have 2 apis and one property key is different between them what do i do if the others are the same

I just wasted an hour with errors because I couldn't tell the difference between lower case and capital K in the word "CodingKey". Great video though!
