very useful, Swift is a great program lan

Hard and confusing, did not like this course.

very good course. And trainers are expert in thier field. Thankyou. very nice experience

This is a good course in swift. The lecture videos goes into some depth, not just skim through the basics. So in that regard it's good. But the quizzes and assignment can be a bit improved. With that said, I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested learning iOS development with Swift.
