Some code is not sufficiently explained and difficult to follow as lecture moves on too quickly

Still early to tell with 100% certainty, but definitely a good start to the course thus far.

MMichael Knych
Great examples of how to create apps that use SwiftData.

This course is ok. But the creator does not do a good job at explaining in depth as to what he is doing and WHY he is doing it. All he says is things like "Ok and now we are going to do this, this and that." Does it and then moves on. I am trying to understand SwiftData and I want to know why he is doing the things that he is doing. Luckily I have almost 10 years of iOS programming under my belt so I understand what is happening. But if someone was just learning this for the first time, I really feel like they would be totally lost.
