The goal is for everyone to take the skills learned throughout this course and apply them to the challenges. This will allow you to gain more experience through actual work and collaboration.
This is not just a course but a growing community to constantly push the limits and share and collaborate.
Have you taken an iOS development course that has left you with more questions? Do you have the basic fundamentals, but want to take your knowledge to the next level? If so, this course is for you!
You can Step It UP using REST-APIs. Through this interactive course, you will have the opportunity to use available APIs to build apps that are specific to your interests and build incredible mobile apps.
With each of the 77 lectures building off of the proceeding one, you’ll build a music video app from scratch following the model-view-controller design pattern and best coding practices. You will have the opportunity for hands on practice to apply the newly acquired skills to your own concept through challenges and exercises.
After the completion of this course our journey just begins. You will have the opportunity to continue your education by watching a new lecture presented every month. Your feedback will determine the direction of additional content in the bonus section.
I look forward to taking this journey with you.

Michael is a great lecturer (one of the best I've seen) and he's doing a magnificent work teaching all these principles. He's explaining everything in details and also learns many useful techniques of writing beautiful readable code. I'm very happy that I bought this course and have learnt it. This knowledge will be of much use in future.

The course is really very good I am feeling good that I took this course. pros- -Everything is explained conceptually -Use of Slides and diagrams for explaining things -Pace of course is perfect -Teacher is very engaging -Teacher is very encouraging he encourages you to try new things and understand things properly. cons- -I was having problems in "reachability" section and I am reached here and I hadn't added reachability to my app because I was facing problem there I tried lot to resolve it but it only resulted in wasting time I wasted lot of time on it. -Support can be improved, I had taken courses on Udemy which are offering better support then this course. -Bit outdated, but is not a problem if you know even basics like if you want to use Swift 3 then you can face some problems due to syntax change like I had to study multi treading from other sources because of changes in swift 3. but this won't be a problem you can continue in Swift2.3 and if you want to do it in Swift 3 then you can follow my repo(URL is given below) which I had made in Swift 3 which is having all the code with Swift3. https://github.com/mitesh504/Music-Video-Player I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO TAKE THE COURSE IT'S WORTH THE MONEY.

The content is really good but there is way too much rehashing. No need to both sum things up at the end of a lesson AND then start next lesson by repeating same things. Suggest you just have the summary at the end of the lessons. Then the beginning of the lessons can focus on the coming subject. All in all one of the best courses out there. Well worth your time and money!

The instructor teaches in the way that I learn - objectives first, clear explanations of implementations and clear, concise review of previous lesson. He provides the information in the right order for effective learning. Doing the challenges reinforces the lectures. Great course. I'd like to see him teach a server-side course using the Perfect Swift api that is currently in ongoing development and put the two courses together for a "Client Server" course covering both sides of development.
