Tinder Clone for iOS 13 using Swift 5, Firestore and MVVM Architecture with Matchmaking, Swiping & More!

What are we building?

In this course, you will learn how to build a complete version of Tinder ready to be published on the App Store. 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 dating application, 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.
