Get started coding in Swift by making an image viewer app and learning key concepts.
A simple app that lets users scroll through a list of images then select one to view.
Practice your List skills while learning about random numbers and text input.
A game that will let generate a random hidden number with 4 unique digit from 0 to 9, and the player has to guess the hidden number. If one of their digits is in the correct place it’s a “bull”, if it exists in the hidden number but is in the wrong place it’s a “cow”.
As one of the challenges of project 3; Views and Modifiers; the result text should show different colours depending on how close the user is:
- Red for 0 bulls 0 Cows
- Yellow for 1 to 3 bulls and cows
- Green for 4 bulls and/or cows
Hard mode does not show any colour.
Dive deep into Swift's rendering system.
A lesson on how and why Views and Modifiers work that way in SwiftUi.
Tackle the command line with Swift Package Manager and the NaturalLanguage Framework
A command line project that will analyses text input using the natural language library as well as the swift-argument-parses library.
Learn to create maps and map pins by combining SwiftUI and MapKit.
An app that lets us search for and track multiple locations at the same time.
Spruce up your UI with springs, bounces and more.
A technique lesson in animation. There is no project here so the final code is the latest demo from the chapter.
Learn to fetch and parse JSON from the internet, displaying the results in a grid.
An app that searches the iTunes API displays, album covers, artist names, song titles and let users listen to a preview of each track.
Build a picture-matching game that's all but guaranteed to get you stumped.
A game where you have to choose the lone animal from the pairs to advance to the next round.
For this project I added some extentions/challenges to make it feel more complete:
- A starting screen/view that describes the game.
- Three Strikes! If you get three guesses wrong in a row on any level, you lose and have to start again.
- A home context menu button and a home button on the lose and win screens to take you back to the start screen.
- Added some animation when switching through views and/or advancing to the next level.
- A level counter below the Title.

Use shapes, paths, colors, and more to create custom art for your app.
Expand your skills to the macOS menu bar and build a helpful utility for distributed teams.
An menu bar app that lets the you figure out the time across the world by time zones you care about to a list.
- Add, delete, move and copy time zones.
| Start View | View with added time zones |
|---|---|
