Question 1

Xcode for Windows

Accepted Answer

Apple only made Xcode available to macOS users. If you are running the Windows operating system, you'll have to look for a plan B. Here we are talking Hackintosh, virtual machines and services like MacInCloud. We have a full article about this: http://bit.ly/CWCWindows

We have released a video tutorial showing how we used a Windows computer to run Xcode.

Question 3

What's the Difference Between the Videos in the Course and YouTube?

Accepted Answer

The paid course is structured and organized in a way to build up your Swift skills from the ground up. Chris’ free videos on YouTube are just one-off concepts about different topics. The paid course is a learning path to becoming an iOS developer. Much more high quality and are updated to the latest versions of Xcode. Each module builds on the knowledge from the previous one so it’s much more cohesive and helps establish the foundation you need to build an app from scratch.

Each video course module accomplishes certain goals (i.e learn Xcode and Swift basics, programming constructs, autolayout etc) and demonstrates this by building an app from the ground up so you understand it from the start. There are worksheets and review after every module to solidify your knowledge as well.

The point of our fundamentals course is to provide the skill set to build any app. It won’t tell you how to build your specific app (if you have one in mind) but you have enough base knowledge of the tools and language to apply them. Learning so you’re able to solve your own problems which will help you become more successful in the long run. The database course covers more intermediate topics and focuses more on integration with data sources.

Hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. Our courses are laid out in detail on our website as well https://codewithchris.com/beginnercourse/w

Good luck and thanks for your in

Question 4

I'm New to iOS and Swift, Where Do I Start?

Accepted Answer

We teach iOS and Swift for beginners with the idea in mind that people never wrote a single line of code before in their lives. If you come from another programming language, our curriculum can also be helpful to get familiar with Apple's UIKit and Xcode. Use this playlist to dive into the Swift programming language and discover how to make an app for iOS in no time: http://bit.ly/LearnSwift2019 Use this playlist to learn how to make your first app with no programming experience: http://bit.ly/BeginnersPlaylist

Question 5

How to Access the CodeWithChris Courses

Accepted Answer

Hello Coder and welcome back!

Sorry for the troubles, we did send an email a year ago when we moved the course to a better interactive platform but of our email got flagged as spam.

Our courses are now visible at https://academy.codewithchris.com. Emails and passwords haven't change but if you encounter an issue, use the Reset Password option. If after all this, this doesn't work, we can force reset it on our side.

Also, the service is called Teachable and it might also ask you to link your account to a brand new Teachable account, feel free to create one with them.
This way, if one day you decide to purchase a course about Web or Android dev from someone who is also using Teachable, you'll have all those under one roof.

Happy Coding!
