Hello there! I'm Anthony, and Python is a hobby of mine now. I used to be an electronics hardware design engineer but I've moved into a commercial engineering management role in aviation since.
I've started on my Swift / SwiftUI journey too. I read your reply to this post and wondered how it was going - assuming you're still going? What resources are you using? Any learning tips - things you wished you had known about earlier, that kind of thing? cheers
Frontend developer by day, iOS developer by night. Currently working on learning iOS development and my own blog, Mike Decodes, where I'm decoding the tech industry. Come hang out with me on Twitter!
It's been well over a year since my original reply, but I did finally get the ball rolling with my Swift / SwiftUI journey! I am using 2 main resources: Paul Hudson's Hacking With Swift (SwiftUI track), and Meng To's Design+Code SwiftUI tracks.
Paul goes into a lot of inner workings of Swift and SwiftUI, which means you really understand why some things are the way they are. Meng To is much more design focussed which is great if you want to find out more about the different modifiers.
My biggest learning tip is a bit of a cliché and is one I should have known myself: Just start building. That's how I got into web development, I just started building. So I'm creating an app with a buddy of mine in parallel to learning about new things Swift / SwiftUI.
I'm still on the fence about writing blog posts to go along with my learning. I think it would be great for me to learn and solidify, but I'm also afraid of burning out.
Hit me up on Twitter if you just want to pick my brain, get help with some code or just to have a conversation about this!
