3 mins

In the past few weeks, we’ve released new courses for subscribers on Swift 3, iOS 10, Server Side Swift, Metal, Concurrency, Collection Views and more.

But that’s not all – today, I am happy to announce that our popular Beginning Collection Views course is now fully updated for Swift 3 & iOS 10!

In this 10-part course, you’ll learn all about using Collection Views in iOS. You’ll start with the basics, such as setting up an collection view in Interface Builder, and then move right through to some more advanced topics, like creating and manipulating custom cells and layouts.

Let’s take a look at what’s inside.

Video 1: Introduction. You’ll get a quick overview of what’s covered in the series, and get a brief history of UICollectionView.

2-Getting-Started

Video 2: Getting Started. In this video, you’ll make your first collection view. It may look simple but you’re doing a lot: setting up a collection view in Interface Builder, subclassing UICollectionViewController, implementing three of the data source protocol methods, and sizing the cells relative to the device that the app is running on.

3-Custom-Cells

Video 3: Custom Cells. Learn how to subclass UICollectionViewCell to create your own custom look for a cell.

6-Subclassing-Layout

7-Deleting-Cells

Video 7: Deleting Cells. Learn how to let users delete cells from your collection view, by creating your own editing mode.

8-Moving-Cells

Video 8: Moving Cells. Learn how you can move cells around using drag-and-drop using installsStandardGestureForInteractiveMovement.

9-Cell-Prefetching

Video 9: Cell Pre-Fetching. Learn about the new cell pre-fetching feature introduced in iOS 10, which can greatly improve the scrolling performance of your collection views, especially when displaying data retrieved off the network.
