This course is ideal for beginners eager to learn the fundamental concepts that underpin the Swift programming language. Explore the basic programming concepts and data structures that are core to any language, while discovering the unique aspects that make Swift as versatile as it is today.
In this course, you will receive hands-on practice utilizing these concepts. More specifically, you will learn how to use constants and variables with different data types and explore how to sort and store information in collection types such as arrays, tuples and dictionaries. Finally, you will discover how to make your code reusable and more expressive by using functions and closures. By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Demonstrate a working knowledge of general programming principles • Prepare your computer system for Swift programming • Show understanding of Swift syntax and how to control the flow of code • Demonstrate knowledge of how to declare, use and modify constants and variables • Differentiate between the different types of operators and their functions • Demonstrate how to create simple control flow patterns and call functions using Swift This is a beginner course for learners who would like to prepare themselves for a career in iOS development. To succeed in this course, you do not need prior web development experience, only basic internet navigation skills and an eagerness to get started with coding.

This course was great. It taught me many things that I did not learn well or at all during my time at university.
RS
Very well structured material and well-thought approach to learning by the instructor, I highly recommend this course.
DL
Excellent course. Professionally made, relevant, and informative.
FS
It’s a good course to start with learning Swift. But I think if you have experience with other OOP languages such as C++, you will find this course oversimplified and not that challenging.
PO
I really enjoyed this course. I believe it was not slow nor too fast, and it gave me knowledge on the fundamentals of swift
MK
Super knowledge that I've gained on this course, I would highly recommend to others.
VW
I would give it a 5 but there were a few errors in the instructions.
CP
This course has a great balance between guiding the learner to best practices while allowing pushing them to use their skills independently.
RD
Great course! I feel some homework was missing to practice, which is key to success!
JT
I have tried a lot of courses in swift and this is the clearer introduction to the language, and concepts like closure and struct are perfectly explained.
DN
I really enjoyed each sessions and activities design by tutor. Very well designed activities and content.

Great course on Swift. I love Meta's courses in general and this one of their best. Thanks for all who made this series of certificates possible.

Poor job of explaining concepts in the later lessons, particularly around concepts such as structures and closures. Felt like they were just trying to fit as much info as possible into one video without any real effort to make it make sense.
The exercises were also poor, and used concepts that had not yet been taught in the course. Overall disappointing - they need to focus more on getting the concepts down rather than telling me everything there is to know about structures in one video.
The flow of information is very unstructured and quick. Rather than guiding the learner (A to B, B to C, C to D, etc.), it feels like new info is just dropped on us (I found that as I was taking my notes, I would be writing a note on a topic only to realize that the lecture had moved on to 2 or 3 new topics in the span of me writing my note! Just an overall disappointing experience.
I understand it's swift fundamentals, but the pace is slow, there's much better resources online for free
A phenomenal course for any one who want to get started with learning swift language .
This course covers all the basics to learn swift and most importantly has a very engaging manner of explanation with real times cases associated with the topics.
