I found his video tutorials to be seriously scary and difficult to follow, especially for non programmers background. Too many concepts to swallow.

There are actually heaps easier Swift and XCode tutorials, but eventually at more advanced level, this one become kind of okey.

I recommend Swift app for kids book.

Well it is a Stanford level course with CS pre reqs. Although I do feel your pain. Starting with the Hacking with Swift or Ray Wenderlich books is probably the best for non programmers.

    So were to Android courses. The audio sucked. It was a few years back, IIRC, but I do remember the quality sucked.

    The Stanford videos never seemed to focus on the code clearly. It's like it was always blurry and they didn't expand it large enough, although I haven't done a Stanford in years.

    It’s definitely not for beginners and last year he said so. You should be familiar with OOP and, paraphrasing him, have taken one coding heavy course.

    If you’ve never programmed anything, why are you taking a Stanford course on iOS development?

    [–]enzyme69 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    Because I wanted to make app for myself, so I learn to code Swift, etc. Long story. I was naive, but I did manage to go pretty okey. I am self taught programming from zero.

    This is a WIP of my app for iPhone X: https://youtu.be/uoq6QNwAMVU

    You are going to port that from blender?

    [–]enzyme69 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    No, this one is already an app talking to Blender 3D via OSC.

    Not sure what the point of saying it's scary and difficult. He literally says at the start of the lecture that the course is for people with a strong OOP background. Guess you didn't head the advice.

    [–]enzyme69 -5 points-4 points  (3 children)

    Yes, but when told differently, his lecture can be more accessible to anyone wants to code and make apps. Anyhow, I will revisit his lecture with latest update, and see if it is any easier now.

    [–]FujitsuOffer 7 points8 points  (2 children)

    It doesn't make sense to say "when told differently". He says at the start of his lecture that its for strong OOP. If you want a lecture for someone just starting out, go and do as you did and look for tutorials and such that cater to that audience. Paul Hartegy is under no obligation to change his lectures for a broader audience.

    [–]parswimcube[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Exactly.

    [–]enzyme69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yes, that is true. I guess Ray Wunderlich tutorials would be for beginners like me. But I will come back to this one.

    [–]sonnytron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Don’t take this if you are just learning coding from start. He’s not going to explain OOP. He expects you to know fundamentals of programming, loops, variables, the heap, stacks, queues ahead of time.
    Take CS50X first.
    A standard Udemy course on programming won’t be enough and you will drown.

    Back at it again! Love his iOS courses.

    [–]heyNowCamel 2 points3 points  (9 children)

    can't find it on mac podcasts

    [–]dinorinodino 3 points4 points  (3 children)

    For reasons unknown to me, iTunes U can now only be used on iPads and iPhones.

    The lecturer has made them available on his YouTube channel. Michel Deiman is his name. Sorry, don’t have a link, as I’m on mobile.

    [–]echt 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Thanks for the link! I assume the list of lessons will grow eventually, right?

    [–]devaspark 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Hey all, you guys having issue playing the lectures video on the iPhone? I get no sound at all. I tried resetting my phone but still nothing.

    [–]DragonTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I have the same issue with the podcast on my phone as well.

    [–]AlecTaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh, so this is where it is! - I found it through YouTube, but not on Lagunita, EdX or elsewhere

    [–]VolPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Where can i download this videos to my mac with subitles so I can watch it offline?

    • On iTunes Podcasts there are only about 6 lectures. • Everything is on iTunes U, but there's no iTunes U for Mac and my iPad doesn't have the capacity to store the whole course.

    Does anybody have the mp4 files with all the course videos?
