What I really like about @MengTo's SwiftUI course is how he introduces you to awesome use cases for so many of the view modifiers. While this scroll animation is straight from the course, you can imagine all the cool things you could do with it!

Ben Hylak

UX Engineer at GoogleARVR

If you want to make something beautiful, this is where to start. This is not a programming course, and this is not just a design course. Meng removes that line all together and simply teaches the art of making. From keyboard shortcuts to color theory, this course leaves no stone unturned. Everything you learn here you will use immediately -- there is simply no other course like this.
