Ask HN: Where to go deep with swift2 and xcode

2 pointsby edddabout 9 years ago
I am backend&#x2F;devops person during the day, but I wanted to created something that I can touch. I decided to learn how to create mobile apps. Because I am a bit biased about Java and Swift seemed to be a nice language I decided to go with it.<p>I went through the language overview in &quot;Swift introduction book&quot;<p>I finished the tutorial provided by Apple (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;library&#x2F;ios&#x2F;referencelibrary&#x2F;GettingStarted&#x2F;DevelopiOSAppsSwift&#x2F;Lesson2.html)<p>From there I decided I am ready to build something on my own. I was wrong, I was never so unhappy with the code I created - it was really messy. No separation of concerns whatsoever, pesky callbacks changing my state, persistence layer looked really primitive, the list goes on and on.<p>So I decided to see how to build &quot;complex&quot; apps. So I read this: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.raywenderlich.com&#x2F;86477&#x2F;introducing-ios-design-patterns-in-swift-part-1 and that: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.raywenderlich.com&#x2F;90773&#x2F;introducing-ios-design-patterns-in-swift-part-2.<p>And honestly, I am still a bit in the dark. Where to go from here? Any books, online courses?
