Why I Created Learn Swift with Bob:

As a developer who cut my teeth on Swift, I've sat through countless online courses from major platforms. Time and again, I found myself frustrated by the lack of in-depth explanations and the focus on final products over fundamentals. I was lost amidst confusion about design principles like DRY, modularity, and readability. My journey led me to start blogging, which quickly became a passion for over five months. The response was overwhelming – hundreds of emails and questions on how to write code that adheres to these principles without violating them. That's when it hit me: I needed to create this course for my younger self... and perhaps for you! It all boils down to understanding the fundamentals, which I personally lacked at the start.

Course Overview:

This comprehensive course is structured into 10 chapters that will take you from the basics of functional and object-oriented programming to the advanced nuances of Swift. Here's what you can expect:

• Chapters 1-4: Firmly ground your understanding of Functional Programming, Protocol Orientated Design, and Object Oriented Programming.
• Chapter 5: Delve into how objects are created and removed in Swift.
• Chapters 6 & 7: Master writing value oriented Swift code, understand protocol generics and enums.
• Chapter 8: Uncover various advanced and hidden tips about the Swift Programming Language.

Prerequisites:

This course is tailored for intermediate Swift developers. We'll assume you have a grasp on basics like switch statements, conditional statements, functions, and object-oriented programming fundamentals. If not, fear not! Check out the lecture notes, where you'll find a list of prerequisites along with YouTube videos to guide your learning journey.

Questions:

If you ponder over these questions, this course might just be what you need:

• Why did Swift engineers implement optionals?
• What are completion handlers, and how do you design them for your projects?
• Can you explain the retain cycle within closures and delegates?
• Do you know the difference between autoclosures, trailing closures, and @escaping closures?
• Are you familiar with creating custom operators in Swift?
• Do you comprehend the statement, "Swift is a protocol-oriented programming language"?
• Can you effectively use default protocols like Equatable, Comparable, Sequence, and Iterator Protocol?
• Do you distinguish between normal and recursive enums?

If your answer to any of these isn't a confident "Yes", this course is here to guide you through.
