I'll see you guys in the course All right guys, let's jump right into the problem. Most of you guys are having is Swift programming worth it and the answer to that the quick answer is yes And the reason why it's yes because Swift is a popular language Apple actually leverages for its primary language and so you're gonna be good there But there are gonna be reasons why it's not worth it And I want to cover the pros and cons and the options and you're gonna determine if it's right for you So before I get started guys Link share your experience below as far as just did you pick? Why did you pick Swift programming or why did you not? Choose Swift programming that way I can kind of know what your answers are before we get into the details and After to see if we can give perspective there So go ahead and share your experience below as far as just know why why you chose to a programming or why not? So let's jump right into it guys with programming language is a solid programming language Apple uses it It's relatively new. I think it's been around since 2014 about eight years or so and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon So that's the first thing there second thing guys It's relatively easy to learn compared to other programming language There's far worse and there's for some that are a little bit better I would say Swift is kind of like the middle of the road So it's worth learning from that aspect as well and also the job market Do you have to understand guys one component of learning how to code if you're doing this? Professionally gotta be able to get a job. I like the local job market as my primary option Once you get experience you can start experiencing Experimenting with remote jobs only because as a new we want to give you the best opportunity to get a job And if all else is even in an employer's mind, I got two candidates one local And one 3,000 miles away programming knowledge is similar Bringing to save a to the table more than likely they gonna choose that remote developer or that local developer All this is good. That's why I tell you guys to start with the local job So let's get back to Swift guys. I made a couple of notes here just to kind of make sure I hit everything First of all guys a lot of you guys just fail because you're spread way too thin This is probably why you're watching this video now. You don't know what to do. You don't know that your next steps You don't know. Hey, right? What's going on there? Help me out First of all, I can tell you guys you're probably not doing any project-based learning. You're just probably doing tutorials online With no rhyme or reason on what should in go. Do you want to get a job? Just learning which is good at the beginning when you learn your syntax and Fundamentals, but you want to get into that project-based learning as quickly as possible for training purposes And then you want to start gearing for a business that has specific problems and then you kind of learn that way Again, a lot of you guys are learning too much too fast Again, we need focus learning and we need a plan So those are the primary reasons why most of you guys fail and we need to change that So we definitely change that one thing I suggest you guys to do is I got a sadden step guide Links are below to that It really starts to put you in that framework and that mindset of that project-based learning Getting ready to get started and swift and also getting yourself up to get a job and setting things up that way Really gonna help you guys out as well. So links are below for that and in addition to that free sadden step guide I got premium courses for you guys Got a lot of goodies down there and also you can join our community so that you can Support the channel and all that good stuff like that guy. So links to all of it. We'll check that out So getting back into the details guys Some of the reasons why you should use our leverage or is Swift programming actually worth it first of all you got millions of apps written and Swift you go to the Apple store most if not all of those applications now especially newer ones are wrote in Swift companies always need Development in that application mobile development for your phones iOS all that stuff very very much in Number two, it's back by Apple. Apple is one of the largest if not the largest company out there They're not they're not going anywhere. No time soon got that on your side as well job Demand it's it's solid as far as just it's a lot of jobs. Don't get me wrong You'll have more jobs as if you start to get into the other languages Java C C sharp all those but it's still a lot, you know, especially in larger cities For consulting companies all the good stuff really good job. Mario lots of jobs there percentage of Market as far as just the popularity That's where it counts to get a little low, but it's still solid though guys Compared and this is relative to other languages. It's not like it's dying or anything It's just that not as popular as other languages. So keep that in mind, but it's still solid What makes it unique is hey, it's used by Apple Apple we all know once you start to get into that That Apple world iOS You're not gonna have any competition when it comes to programming that whole ecosystem of Apple. You're there So that's another unique use case of differential Comparing it to the old legacy Objective C a lot of you guys are trying to figure that out. Well by now it should be mostly a C-shirt not C-shirt, but Swift is gonna be the primary language So unless you're working with a legacy old application that's not in the app store or something like that Some apps may still leverage object to see in some ways or another but it's two-time faster than objective And you got to understand that as well. Let's talk about some of the cuns Mostly the cuns of it is it's it's just not as much content as other program language out there Only because Apple's tend to hone some of that compared to other open source languages It is open source by the way, but you know as far as just not having the YouTube videos the content for every single aspect Like you have other application like Python Java C-sharp you got all millions of millions of options when it comes to content is not as much when it comes to Swift so understand that as well So far as just the past is relatively new Eight years is not a long time for a program language, but again, it's backed by Apple Just like Objective C Swift solid there As far as just the future Longest apples alive I think Swift is gonna have a Seated at the table guy. So I don't see that going anywhere anytime soon. So at the end of the day guys What's the takeaway? Is it worth it? Yes, just make sure you know in your local area able to get jobs in it And oh and put you in a position to win on that point start doing your code reviews guys start reviewing open source application when it comes to Swift so that you can learn it faster really put you in a position to win And again, do my project-based learning that's gonna help you guys out We cover project-based learning and my free seven-step guide again links below to that Go ahead and get started guys. You made the first step into really taking your career your path to software development to the next level and I'll see you guys in the next video
