What are we building?
In this course, you will learn how to build a real time chat application using Firestore and SwiftUI, ready to be published on the App Store. This app includes features like private messaging, user status updates, user authentication and so much more!
Throughout the process, you will develop high level programming, app design and app development skills. We will go all the way from the basics of SwiftUI and iOS development, to advanced techniques that will teach you the skills you need to build production ready, scalable mobile applications.
Why take this course?
Learning advanced development skills should be taught using real world examples. This course will teach you how to build a fully functional messaging app, that's completely ready to integrate into any one of your iOS Applications. You will be learning advanced front and backend development skills, from a real life professional developer. You will learn how to code like a pro, writing clean, scalable and maintainable code. This also makes for a great project to add to your portfolio, which you can use to show off to potential employers if you're trying to become a pro.
