Courses

Pluralsight

    • Swift is the modern, fast, and safe programming language that has rapidly become the first choice for building iOS and macOS apps. This course serves as a firm foundation in Swift, including core syntax, best practices, working with data, and more.
    • “I think this is my best content ever on the Fundamentals of Programming! A fast-paced and (hopefully!) entertaining course, you'll learn the fundamentals, the essential ideas, and the concepts for success in any programming language. First, you'll learn how to write a computer program and learn how to get the computer to understand it. Next, you'll learn all about the syntax - the rules - of programming languages. Finally, you'll explore how to make real-world programming easier, from libraries to frameworks, SDKs and APIs. By the end of this course, you will not only be on your way to becoming a software developer, but you'll also understand how to work with them, manage them, or live with one.”
