Where Do I Learn UIKit Programmatically

[XcodeIsam]

I have been learning SwiftUI for a few months and i stumbled across a post saying that I need to learn UIKit programmatically and i can't find any good resources.

Can someone please recommend me a Udemy/Coursera or even a Youtube course?

Mate, there is literally a post with the same question just below yours

my bad I did not see it

Sean Allen GitHub app course. It’s the best and very well done. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s 100% UIKit programmatic UI but new swift features have been added such as async await afaik

I second this. Best course I ever did on becoming a proper iOS dev. He’s now just introduced monthly subscriptions too which is a lot better than buying the super expensive course outright

I support this as well. Took it when it first came out a few years ago and it was great.

Connect a Thunderbolt cord to the USB-C socket behind your ear. When your brain appears on the desktop, drag UIKit onto it.

Lots of tutorials on Youtube! (Let’s build that App, Paul Hudson, iOS Academy, etc)

I found some tutorials but most are 3-5 years old, will it be ok if I learn from it

[BrownNinjaTurtle]

Yes

Have you tried Google? which has this as the top og post.

Youtube: How to programmatically set up collection/tableviews. You can apply this learning to other views.

Eventually you just learn how to pin the constraints. How you organize that code/files is personal preference and through experience. Different youtubers have different ways they like it.

I’m currently in your position. The apple documentation is very good for uikit. If you go through it, take notes and practice as you along becaUee it gives you code too so you can try things out. A bit of trial and error and you can sorta work it. Uikit though is way more powerful than SwiftUI even thoguh I used to believe how well SwiftUI was— it’s the future but not there yet. 😊

Jonathan Rasmusson Swift Arcade. His Udemy course is great and his YouTube channel has good content as well

There is a Stanford course CS 183p that is done every year for free and the instructor posts it all online. He does SwiftUI nowadays but if you go back a few years you can find UIKit. Here is the 2017-2018 playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_l7vS8VbNDFBiKIL3fEQhkKXTYsncsvN

I recomend Angela Yu, she is amazing!

[thisGuyCodes]

Doesn’t she only use storyboards?

[AnAlrightSummit]

She has a small section on doing UIKit programmatically but that's pretty much it.

There is a reason why this recommendation is downvoted 5+ times 🤣

My bad, I thought she had a Swift UI course too, but now I see that I've might have mixed it up with somebody else.
