Ask HN: Any good Swift training courses in London?

from the ask-hn dept.

Hi UK people,

Work give us a training budget of around £500, it's a use it or lose it situation.

As an iOS developer I thought an advanced Swift course might get me out the office for a few days ;)

Does anyone know of any decent courses like that in London? Preferably in person, during weekdays and not too far in the future.

- I'm open to other suggestions on how to spend the training money (no conferences though), user interface stuff could be quite interesting too.

Thanks!

This is the only reputable one I'm aware of but no doubt there are others: http://www.amsys.co.uk/course/beginning-swift-development/

Thanks for letting me know Peroni :) I actually come across Amsys ones in my Googling, can be difficult to know if they're legit or not though.

Hi JonCox...

Charley from Amsys here... just thought I'd let you know we're an Apple Authorised Training Company and have been teaching iOS development courses for the last 5 years. We have a range of Swift dev courses. If you're already an iOS developer then we'd recommend this course.

Also.. as we're approaching the 1st anniversary of Swift... you can book on any Swift course running in June and save 20%.

Thanks, Charley

The Stanford course on iTunes U comes highly recommended too: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/course/developing-ios-8-apps-swi...
