Course Information
Course Overview
Learn how to build a full scale mobile application with SwiftUI using the MVVM Architecture
What are we building?
In this course, you will learn how to build an MVP version of Instagram with strictly Swift UI using the MVVM architecture. This is the only course on the market that builds a fully functioning app as complex as Instagram using nothing but SwiftUI. We will be building this completely from scratch, starting with the User Interface skeleton, and working our way up to integrating our API with Firestore and data models. This course WILL take your development skills to the next level, using the latest and greatest techniques in modern programming.
We will be building all the core components of a social network. This includes following users, uploading/liking posts, a notification system, creating a user profile, and registering users. Throughout the process, you will develop high level programming, app design and app development skills. We will be building this without the use of storyboards, fully programmatically.
Prior Experience?
Some programming and basic Xcode experience is preferred. The course will move a little fast if you're a complete beginner, but you will pick things up along the way.
Why take this course?
Learning advanced development skills should be taught using real world examples. This course will teach you how to build a fully functional social network, from complete scratch. You will be learning advanced front and backend development skills, from a real life professional developer. You will learn how to code like a pro, and everything will be explained in detail along the way. This will teach you to build production ready applications, that are easily scalable and maintainable. This also makes for a great project to add to your portfolio, which you can use to show off to potential employers if you're trying to become a pro.

I liked working on the Instagram Swift UI App with Stephan. He explained most of the concepts and the code pretty well. The App seemed to cover most features of Instagram as the Search, The Upload Profile and The Notifications. I liked the coverage of topics in the course. Only, Stephan changed his monitor, toward the end of the App, so couldn't view the code well. I look forward to working on more Swift UI Apps with Stephan in the future.

Overall, the course was great for learning how to interact with Firebase Firestore. However, it would be even better if the instructor removed some of the unnecessary sections such as spending time on figuring out bugs. Although it's useful to see how the instructor approaches fixing issues, the course would be more effective if the videos were more closely aligned with the course content.
