How do i download all the course mataerials at once instead of per episode

You need to download once per section!

Tons of great information in this section but it feels extremely overwhelming. Do most folks “get it” on the first pass through this? I felt like the target App was fairly easy to complete, the Fundamentals section made total sense, the CheckList app was a little trickier to follow along but this one is pure overload.

Hi! Thanks for your question.

There is a lot of information in this course! I would say it’s probably normal not to get all of this in one pass. I definitely wouldn’t expect anyone to be able to remember all of this the first time.

I think the main difference between this course and the Swift fundamentals course, is that in this one I was aiming to give folks a lot of practice writing Swift, but also prepare them to read and use Apple’s frameworks as they get back into building apps.

Maybe think of this one as a survey course to expose you to concepts to explore again later, as you need them. I’ve come back to watch the episodes on initializers and inheritance myself when I couldn’t remember specific rules.

All of that should probably go somewhere in the course intro and conclusion :]

That makes me feel much better about this, lots of little rules and tricks for sure. I should mention, you definitely explain it all really well, and I am enjoying the material.

Thanks!

Hi. Any tips on what to do if the playground runs forever? I downloaded the begin file but haven’t been able to get it to actually complete running.

@ofthetans Do you still have issues with this?

I’m sorry. my English is not so good to follow along without pauses while I’m watching this course, and I realized that I had lost an adequate understanding of what happens after the topic with the switch statement. every challenge is impossible to pass without teachers solution. what should I do? start from the beginning?
its so hard to understand foreign language and still try to learn info from it tho=((
