On one of the more mediocre episodes of Fireside Swift , McSwiftface and Zach talk about the SOLID principles of class design, although I don’t hold the principles as the article of religious fervour that many interviewers apparently do, they are a useful touchstone for considering class quality. OOP had been in swing (in a commercial way) for a few years by then - I was writing in Delphi and C++. The spaghetti code era was a long way behind us and the idea of separation of responsibilities was well established.
Sean Allen has come to my notice a couple of times, once where he was mentioned as freelance contractor who is a great contributor to the community (I think perhaps that was on Swiftcoders Podcast ), and I’ve also bumped into him as co-host (with Paul Hudson) of the early episodes of the “Swift over Coffee ” podcast.
This video I watched last night is a compilation of the first few videos of Sean’s SwiftUI course , and it’s pretty great. In particular he does a great job of explaining how to start to refactor child views out and call them, and how all the stacks go together to make a pretty interface. What he does not do is vist/explain any of the Swift language fundamentals. If you don’t already know what a struc is, and the Swift flavour of them, it may be a challenging place to start.
