• Learning Swift: The Basics of iOS Development
  2 projects | dev.to | 29 Jul 2024

  Learning Swift opens up a world of possibilities for developing apps across Apple's ecosystem. With its user-friendly syntax and powerful features, Swift is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced developers. Start with the basics, explore the advanced features, and soon you'll be building amazing iOS apps. For more learning resources, check out Ray Wenderlich and Hacking with Swift. Happy coding!

• Ask HN: What Are You Learning?

  Happy too! So my main resource is Hacking With Swift (https://www.hackingwithswift.com), specifically the 100 days of SwiftUI Course. It takes you over Swift and SwiftUI. I've paired this with the official Swift site (https://www.swift.org) so I can dig into the language more, and Apple Documentation where appropriate to get used to using the tools.

  In terms of finding it, it was a bit of a shot in the dark. I did some poking around and this popped up the most, specifically because I was looking for iOS specific materials. I'm sure if you want to make cross platform apps there's probably a whole host of great resources!

• SwiftUI - Row of Buttons Acting As One
  3 projects | dev.to | 19 Mar 2024

  Thanks to Paul Hudson at Hacking With Swift, I recently learned that what I thought was a bug in SwiftUI is actually a feature. Paul says in one of his 100 Days of SwiftUI videos - which I highly highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn Swift and/or SwiftUI - even the most experienced iOS developers are often gobsmacked by this quirk of the code. I knew right away what he was talking about - I had encountered it myself, turned in a feedback report to Apple, and found a work-around. But according to Paul, it's not a bug, it's a feature! He encourages his viewers to spread the word, so that's what I'm doing.

• Ask HN: Good Resources to Learn iOS Development
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Jul 2023

  The two I can think off of the top of my head are Paul Hudson's web site https://www.hackingwithswift.com and the old Ray Wenderlich site which is now called Kodeco https://www.kodeco.com/home.

  Another good resource is Standford's CS193p - Developing Applications for iOS using SwiftUI which is online at https://cs193p.sites.stanford.edu.

  Should be more than enough to get started.

• Where to Learn MacOS Development - everything is about iOS - how did you learn?

  Paul Hudson is pretty good at not forgetting the Mac: Hacking With Swift but TBH things are pretty similar, sometimes you need to replace UI... with NS... and import another framework but if you have something in mind to build for the Mac just start doing it, the rest will come.

• Ask HN: Advice on Starting a YouTube Channel?

  disclaimer: no channel, just an observer

  Is YouTube the only medium you're considering?

  For business, my understanding is that people now find success mainly though multi-channel and upgrade channels, so you would have some shorts/tic-toks, substack, instagram, twitter, ... (Which suggests some IDE support for the various artifacts being repurposed...) The goal seems to be to convert ~0.5% of the free folks to the $200 upsell: the batch of books, the online course (esp. if constantly updated). See e.g., Kat Norton, https://www.hackingwithswift.com, ...

  While my personal preference runs to no-fluff-just-stuff, success seems to lie in motivating people with each step, with curiosity and enthusiasm, in part because that targets people who want to do X, but find themselves blocked (in part from frustration, loneliness, ...). It's probably a lot easier to unblock people who are just confused and frustrated, than to give focused people real insight. It may be more valuable as well, to lift all boats.
