Learn about the different ways to store your reusable code for a Swift project, how to write methods and functions in a reusable way, and how to think about your end user as a developer rather than a user by focusing on API design principles and access control.

Hi @jecht83 - thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it, and I am glad you enjoyed the course.

Generally speaking, you want to try to avoid having dependencies that have dependencies themselves - however, this eventually becomes something you’ll have to deal with. A Swift Package has the ability to handle sub-dependencies in the Package.swift file, if something can be imported as a Swift package itself. For a Cocoapod or something you ship with Carthage, you would want to make sure you have a sample application that handles your framework gracefully with the sub-dependencies integrated manually.
