What Will I Learn?

• Understanding SwiftUI Architecture: Grasp the foundational principles and unique aspects of SwiftUI, differentiating it from traditional UIKit development.
• Limitations of MVVM in SwiftUI: Identify and address the challenges of applying the Model-View-ViewModel pattern in SwiftUI, including state management and comp
• Migrating from MVVM to MV: Learn how to transition from the MVVM pattern to a simpler Model-View (MV) pattern, streamlining your SwiftUI codebase.
• Master techniques for aggregating multiple data sources, managing state efficiently, and implementing aggregate stores in real-world scenarios.
• Create reusable and modular views using SwiftUI's declarative syntax, while ensuring performance optimization.
• Explore various validation patterns and best practices for providing real-time feedback and maintaining scalable validation logic.
• Understand and implement SwiftUI's navigation system, handling both simple and complex navigation flows effectively.
• Learn strategies for integrating UIKit components with SwiftUI, creating hybrid applications that leverage the strengths of both frameworks.

Requirements

• A solid understanding of the Swift programming language, including syntax, control flow, and object-oriented principles.
• Experience using Xcode, Apple's integrated development environment (IDE), for iOS development.
• Basic experience with SwiftUI, including familiarity with its syntax and core concepts.
• Some practical experience in developing iOS applications, understanding the lifecycle of an iOS app, and basic UI design principles.
• An understanding of the MVVM architectural pattern, as this will help in comprehending the migration to Model-View (MV) and recognizing the limitations of MVVM in SwiftUI.
• A strong desire to learn advanced SwiftUI architecture concepts and best practices, and to apply these in real-world projects.
• A Mac computer running macOS with the latest version of Xcode installed to follow along with the hands-on exercises and examples.

Target audience
