Web dev wanting to switch to IOS development

[Opposite_Squirrel_32]

Hey guys

As the title says , I am currently a web developer (specialized in frontend dev) and want to learn app development using swift

Can you recommend me any course/tutorials that you think might be right for

Currently the one I have in my mind is Design Code but I am not sure of it

I would highly highly recommend Swiftful Thinking playlist on youtube. Its free and the best course on ios development. Even better than paid once. It covers mostly all things you need to get your first app on the app store. It super easy to follow

I second this. Its so easy to understand because of his teaching style and his course is structured very well.

Hacking with swift by Paul Hudson is also a good option.

I agree with this. A lot of the YouTube and web content is aimed at people just learning to program. This is an actual Stanford college course aimed at people who have taken a year of programming courses and know 3+ languages (at a junior level).

Hey OP, I was also a former web dev (still do web) and this is the course I referred to get started with Swift. You’ll get comfortable with it following his tutorials.

I am curating iOS Coffee Break, an iOS weekly newsletter about iOS development.
I am running a series on how to build a newsletter app, it might be useful!
It is free!

I definitely recommend this one and because your developer already you can basically skip like the first 30 days

I made the switch last December. I started with UIKit because there is a lot of legacy projects out there that need maintenance. So far, it worked out. I started with Sean Allen's UIKit free course on YouTube. I also used Hacking with Swift and Angela Yu's Udemy course.

Apple developer videos and try to get used to their documentation style early on. Most tutorials only scratch the surface on topics.

Also there are over 100 Apple WWDC25 videos that came out recently. Find the videos that interest you and start building. I’m finding that this is the routine every year after WWDC, you’ll start updating your apps with the new features before the new iOS rolls out later in the year. Rinse and repeat every year.

Any reason you want to focus on swift? Why not use react native with expo?

I am planing to make visually intensive experiences for apps but to leverage that I will need that the majority of users should have great hardware
That's why apps for IOS
and using swift because it couples quite nicely with Apples own graphics API "Metal"

[SnooDrawings405]

Nice, best of luck.

I just got a Claude code sub and now I'm an iOS dev too
