Recent Videos

The first 4 videos of the SQLiteData series are now available. Make sure you check out any pinned comments in the videos on YouTube for any last minute updates to the code. The completed source code should be current, but having to go back and update and republish a video to YouTube can be a pain when all it is, is a single line of code change.

You can find the entire YouTube playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBn01m5Vbs4CYoNYe55G1kijxeNza9SMe

Coming up with SQLiteData

Over the next two weeks I will be covering the One-To-Many and Many-To-Many relationships in SQLiteData as well as a unique One-To-One relationship for storing image assets. With SQLiteData, you will be able to utilize the full power of SQL with table joins and cross table queries.

The feedback on the series from my monthly Ko-fi supporters, as well as those who made a $15 contribution and completed the course, has been excellent.

I really appreciate the comments on the videos and your willingness to report any issues you come across. That helps me fix the completed code and, if necessary, update and republish the video.

Ducky Model Editor - now FREE

Ducky is a document-based app that helps infer models from JSON. I have been using it for years now and I even created a video about it some time ago that is still relevant today.
It helps me generate my codable Swift models from a JSON feed. "Ducky" by @nixzhu on X can infer Swift, Kotlin, Dart or Go models.

video preview

You can get it free from the App Store now. I highly it recommend it to anyone who works with JSON.

Best In Class

The legendary five books series for building iOS apps covering accessibility, design, UX, and iOS frameworks is now pay what you want!. It conveys everything you need to ship apps people love.

Jordan Morgan debuted this series back in 2021 and has continued to update the content. I was one of the early purchasers and though I payed full price, I have never regretted it. Now is your chance to get it at a price you can afford.

If you enjoy what I do and want to support my work, you can join my Ko-fi community and either make a one-time donation or become a monthly supporter for as little as $5/month. Monthly supporters get early access to my videos as soon as they’re uploaded to YouTube (as unlisted videos), sometimes up to a month before they’re made public. Monthly supporters also get priority responses to their questions, and I’m happy to help with coding challenges.

In addition to PayPal, Ko-fi now supports Stripe, which makes it easier to pay by credit card.
