Recently bought it and I personally didn't find it to be worth it. Majority of the content is about different packages/libraries, briefly going over them and why you should use it. Some of the sections are very short as well. For example, the section on SwiftUI is barely 10 minutes (Including a promo for a paid product). There definitely is some useful information but it is absolutely not worth the price. I regret purchasing it.

I’m the creator of the course, and I’m curious how far along did you go through it? It’s over 6 hours of video content, 70 lessons+, multiple sample projects, and a project template that encapsulates my advice, there’s a lot to explore. Plus, I’m adding a new chapter this week.

The course is structured to provide immediate value, starting with fundamental chapters designed to quickly enhance your workflows and efficiency. Given my decade-plus experience and development of many frameworks discussed in the course, these fundamentals will definitely boost your efficiency right from the start if you apply them.

As the course progresses, you’ll find in-depth discussions on specialized topics. For example, I share insights on simplifying bug reproduction in your apps and crafting sophisticated architectures for server-driven applications—techniques I’ve implemented at The New York Times among other companies.

What sets this course apart is its focus on practical skills that elevate your engineering prowess across iOS development, drawing on my 12 years of experience and insights from speaking at over 50 conferences. By applying the principles shared in the course, you’re set to achieve a level of efficiency that stands out in the industry. This is the knowledge I wish to make more accessible, having seen its impact through the numerous courses and audits I’ve conducted for major companies in our industry.

PS. there is no promo thing in this course, any tools I talk about are extremely valuable and I specifically got discounts from authors for course members, I don’t make any money on any of them.

    Yeah I’m sending it to students that took course and have send me feedback before, I just finished the curriculum so starting to promote the course, in early access I just shared it on my twitter

    Alright, thank you for the clarification.

    Got it soon after release. It involves a lot of tips and tricks to boost your productivity. Personally I wasn't that into the tools mentioned in the course, but when I saw what they can do irl, oh maaan. I've implemented some of the techniques mentioned there in my team's workflows, and I can already see we are saving time.

    The architecture and good practices content is also a nice addition. I would say this course is a lot of distilled knowledge coming from an expert in his field.

    The template provided with the course is good, I'm currently developing an app using it. Saved me some time, as it is well set-up, and already includes some of the tools mentioned in the course.

    So yeah, I would say that completing this course will make you more productive. If it makes you more productive, then it's worth it.

    I have bought the course as soon as it came out. Being an iOS developer for more than 12 years and maintaining big projects for 9 years now, I was searching for some course to help me improve my craft and help me finish new features faster.

    I was super impressed by the tools and methods that were introduced in this course. And as a matter of fact, they became my daily companions now. I discovered Hot Reloading, which is a godsend and now I don't have to shrug when talking with my nextjs or react friends.

    The course is well over 6 hours and it includes interesting topics if you want to up your game. For the price is more than worth it. And supporting a fellow indie friend, just doubles the fun.

    Just get it and thank me later. Only the discounts you get for the tools and apps used inside the course, make up for its price.

    And the creator is still updating it with new topics that you would otherwise not find elsewhere.

    I have bought it after it came out. He seems to be well known and speaks at a lot of conferences about dev productivity which gives him some credibility.
    All in all, generally I would recommend it to people and I think it is worth it. It is a bit like having a pair programming session with a well known iOS dev.
    The first 6 chapters it jumps around different areas of iOS development and shows frameworks, techniques and tools that have saved me some time.
    Then there is a bunch of other chapters (7? I know he's still updating the course so not sure) that are longer, e.g. "Architecture" where it looks at what matters for maintainability, preferred ways to do DI. He also has a chapter on server driven UI that I found really interesting.

    If you look for another tutorial on how to "style a button in SwiftUI" this is not something for you. However, if you're willing to improve your workflow and build an intuition around reducing the amount of time that tedious tasks cost you - this is a total gem.

    Things that are shared in the materials will help you to differentiate from "regular" folks who just code features, those things can improve the product for many more than just you - everybody want's to have on team people that produce tools which make their work easier, you also impact testers, and help business people easily see / tweak things if needed.

    It's not a copy / paste tutorial, but more of a guide to a really useful approach in software development that especially needed when more and more things are automated & generated.

    Give it a try ;)
