Workshops - SwiftUI Field Guide

SwiftUI workshops for teams.

Book a two day workshop for your engineering team — tailored to your product and targeted at your challenges.

SwiftUI Fundamentals

We explain the most important concepts and work through tailor-made exercises for your team. We focus on getting hands-on experience with the fundamental concepts behind the framework, leaving your team with a great intuition of how SwiftUI works.

Up to 16 participants

In person or via Zoom.

2 intensive days of learning

With group sessions and one-on-one.

Reference material included

Including our custom Mac app

Thinking in SwiftUI

Includes a complimentary copy.

Build better experiences on Apple's platforms.

Understanding SwiftUI leads to better problem solving, fewer bugs and less legacy code.

Develop an intuition of how SwiftUI works.

We focus on the fundamental concepts behind the framework that we believe are essential to understand.

“Not only are the workshops a blast, they've meaningfully helped teams at Google jump in and expand their understanding of SwiftUI in areas that are otherwise unavailable through Apple's documentation alone.”

Exercises tailored to your product.

Our exercises are custom-made just for you, following a set of high-level topics that teach you core knowledge of SwiftUI.

Cultivate a tight-knit team dynamic.

Close teams build better products. Work in pairs to solve exercises then discuss outcomes as a group.

“The training was instrumental for the team to remove the remaining mental barriers to start working with SwiftUI and played a critical role in the modernization of our code base.”

Your Instructor

Chris Eidhof is the creator of the SwiftUI Field Guide, co-founder of objc.io, co-host of Swift Talk and author of multiple books on iOS development and Swift programming.

Depending on the group size, Chris is joined by Florian Kugler and other instructors. Groups are limited to 16 people, larger teams are split into multiple cohorts.

Course Structure

Layout and View Trees

We discuss how SwiftUI constructs trees and how the layout system works, looking at the fundamental algorithms as well as practical views and modifiers.

State and Render Trees

We show how the view tree is interpreted into a render tree, and why this is important for managing state. We look at the lifetime of views and how to load data efficiently.

Components and Bindings

We build reusable components and to bind them to your data model.

Environment

We use the environment to pass data and configuration down the view tree, and show how to use it for dependency injection.

Alignment

We go over how the alignment system works in SwiftUI, and how to use it to build layouts that go beyond the basics.

Animations

We look at property animations, and how to build completely custom animations using the Animatable protocol.

Transitions

We explain how to use transitions to animate changes in your view hierarchy, including custom transitions to fit your exact needs.

Advanced Layout

We use GeometryReader and preferences to build more complex layouts.

We've worked with some great engineering teams
