Syllabus

Connecting and Fetching Data from the Network

This module explores how to connect your app to remote servers, handle network responses, and manage errors effectively. You'll learn to parse JSON data, integrate network calls into app workflows, and implement incremental loading for large datasets. The module also introduces the Combine framework for managing asynchronous networking tasks in Swift.

Creating Dynamic Graphs with Swift Charts

This module introduces learners to building interactive and visually appealing charts using Swift Charts. You will explore how to represent data with interval bar charts, create sector (pie) charts, and visualize mathematical functions, gaining practical skills for dynamic data presentation in mobile apps.

Swift Macros

This module introduces the fundamentals of Swift Macros, guiding learners through the process of exploring syntax trees, creating custom macros using SwiftSyntax, and implementing them with structs and protocols. Learners will gain hands-on experience in enhancing their development workflow by leveraging macro templates and understanding their integration within the Swift ecosystem.

Creating Pipelines with Combine

This module explores advanced data flow management in Swift using the Combine framework. Learners will dive into the inner workings of publishers, subscribers, and operators, and practice building custom components to handle complex data streams. By the end, you'll be able to create and manipulate reactive pipelines for robust iOS applications.
