Zooming in and out caused my eyes to readjust which is very uncomfortable but anyways great content. Thanks.

[karthikeyaacharya]

Simple and a great video. Zooming also helped. Thanks.

[explosionradical]

wonderful !! You the best teacher bro!

[jurabekismatov]

Very amazing video But I don't understand one thing. Who can Explain me why HE is using "item size " twice? once in the viewDidLoad and Once as an extension ? what is the difference

[TheBitterlove]

I am confused. Why do we need to specify the size 2 times (one in delegate and another view did load)?

[fengjosephine]

thanks for sharing and it was really great!

Would be nice to have a part 2 where you associate each cell with a different image, maybe different format than the standard and have each cell executing an action.

Nice bro! Thanks for the awesome content

Your videos are awesome! I am starting into this iOS world and one thing that I think would be helpful for everyone is that you can use AutoLayout like in this video instead of coding the views, I've found myself struggling with AutoLayout but at the same time your videos have taught me a lot. Most of the projects out there are developed with AutoLayout, so it would be great if we can learn AutoLayout while learning to code too. You are awesome! thank you! <3 (with AutoLayout I mean storyboard 😅)

This was really good basic tutorial; however, you move pretty fast so the zooming in gets a little frustrating when trying to follow along.

Question: I am trying to create a grid type view of a bunch on buttons that will take the user to different screens. Each button will have an image with it, then have text overtop of what it is. What would be the best way to achieve my goal? Would using this method be better than using Table Cell View with a bunch of buttons?

[Hussey_]

Like the way you explain little details while implementing. But seriously the continuous moving and zooming is frustrating and distracting as hell.
I had to pause the video mid way to give this feedback

[ronick]

Awesome. But like the most of people saying, zooming in and out is not good way to show your codes.

[albertbo]

And what I would must change if I my cells has different widths and I want to automatically put cells in a new row when a new completed cell cannot be inserted in a previous row?

[cassidydubarton]

When I right click the view controller at 15:07, the collectionView outlet is not available. I've double checked that all previous code is entered correctly.

[sidharthpanda]

Great Content. I dint give any focus on the zoom but your speed was a bit on the higher side. I had to slow down the view to follow.

[laurapotter]

thank you for this tutorial! Could you please make a tutorial for "implementing the iphone lock screen" with 10 key buttons and simulate the unlock function? Thank you!!!

[yinkaadeniran]

Why set cell size inside viewdidload and also in the extension below

[hazzelnuts]

please don't zoom in and out frequently

[evangelosspyromilios]

Mate your tutorial is really great but this extreme zoom in - zoom out made me dizzy

[avneetsingh]

Great video... However, looks like it is failing when I run in iPad due to constraints issue... How can I make it compatible with all devices screen size?
