Collection Views-0daytown

Learn all about using collection views in iOS to build composable and flexible layouts both in code and using Interface Builder. You’ll learn how to implement custom cells, animate changes and work with different types of data sources

Who is this for?
This course is part of our iOS and Swift for Beginners Learning Path. You’re ready for this course if you’re working through that learning path in order, or you’re someone who has just a little bit of iOS and Swift experience.

You’ll start off by building a simple collection view that displays numbers is rows and grids using brand new diffable data sources and compositional layout APIs.

Then, you’ll take a small detour to build an emoji library app using pre-iOS 13 API by implementing data sources and flow layouts.

Finally, you’ll combine the two approaches to build a RayWenderlich.com library app that lets you browse courses.

Throughout the course, you’ll practice everything you learn with hands-on challenges.

This course isn’t suited for intermediate or advanced developers. If that’s you, check out our intermediate or advanced video courses for more ways to level-up your developer skills!
