I remember seeing the projects on Medium [1] and thinking it would be pretty cool if the code was available.

It would be more awesome if the code alone was available for free and charge for the videos. But I'm sure the countless hours spent on making & editing the videos/Projects justifies the price.

Here's a similar project with source:

https://github.com/allenwong/30DaysofSwift

i started a similar project:

There's an incredible amount of Swift projects, blogs, etc, it's really just a matter of organizing it.

I'd like to see some Swift tutorials out there that are not related to Cocoa and other iOS/OSX frameworks.

I've tried Swift several times, but as a sysadmin, I'm interested in cli apps, servers, network libraries etc. I either already know how to do these things or can find out quickly in python/ruby/go or even rust. But whenever I try to find out how to do these already familiar things in Swift, it's a pain to find the right documentation/examples.

Something like this but for react native would be awesome

Nice move. I'm in the process of doing a similar learning project. I'm a web dev guy and decided to learn iOS development with Swift, because from my research, React Native won't do it for me.

So I started to make small apps, heavily inspired by the projects in 100 days of Swift.

While I sometimes wished to see the source code and get a bit more in-depth explanation for every project, I discovered another approach that works for me:

I started with Apple's tutorial [1].

Then I tried to copy the projects from 100 days of Swift. The first projects can be solved with answers from Stack Overflow and tutorials here and there. I noticed that I'd push my apps in a slightly different direction and just wing it with whatever interests me. For example, I added an NSTimer to project 6 (DateTime).

This way, I won't get the solution easily as source code, but just see the screenshot/video from the final app and try to think of my own solutions.

From my very limited experience, the UI building and auto-layout stuff in Xcode requires an in-depth explanation. This is where I struggle most right now.

http://courses.reactjsprogram.com/courses/reactjsprogrambund... like it's structured in a similar manner and it says that the React Native course is coming soon.

Re: countless hours editing videos, he says "I ended up doing 3 or 4 takes per video to make sure I covered everything important. The whole process of recording, editing and mastering took around 6 months."

I set up a general purpose Docker image for go-rust-swift on Linux platform

Hope it will make it easier for people to write CLI tutorials.
