From Feeds To Hired: Swiftui Patterns That Pass Interviews

Write clean, maintainable Swift code that hiring managers love to read.

What you'll learn

How to build a full-featured SwiftUI app using modern architectural patterns (MVVM + protocol-oriented design).

How to write clean, testable networking code with async/await and error handling.

How to parse RSS and Atom feeds using FeedKit’s updated API and Swift enums.

How to handle API failures, bad responses, and retry logic like a professional.

How to apply dependency injection to make your app modular, mockable, and interview-ready.

How to structure a take-home coding assessment for maximum clarity and maintainability.

How to use Swift’s type system and enums to write safe, expressive, and concise code.

How to build adaptive SwiftUI views that respond to state changes (loading, error, success).

How to debug and reason through problems like a senior engineer—before the interview.

How to talk through your technical decisions confidently in a real-world interview setting.

Requirements

A working knowledge of basic Swift programming (variables, structs, functions, optionals, etc.)

Some prior experience building simple iOS apps with SwiftUI or UIKit

Familiarity with Xcode and running projects on the iOS simulator

A Mac with macOS Monterey or later, and Xcode 15+ installed

Curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to break through technical challenges

Description

You’ve learned the basics. You’ve built a few projects. Maybe you’re even working in iOS development already. But when it comes to technical interviews—or writing code that feels senior-level—you keep hitting a wall.This course is for you.“From Feeds to Hired” is designed specifically for intermediate Swift developers who want to rapidly level up and finally break through the technical portion of job interviews. Whether you're self-taught, coming from a non-traditional background, or tired of failing take-home tests, this course will show you how to build real, production-ready iOS features using industry-standard patterns.We’ll walk through the creation of a fully-featured SwiftUI RSS reader app, but this is not just about fetching feeds—it’s about:Writing clean, modular, and testable code like a senior engineerUsing Swift Concurrency (async/await) with confidence in network and parsing layersApplying MVVM architecture in a way that’s actually scalable and interview-friendlyStructuring a project the way companies expect in take-home assessmentsLearning error handling, protocol abstraction, and other “senior-level signals”You’ll also learn why each architectural decision matters—because great engineers don't just write code, they design systems with maintainability and clarity in mind.This course is built for learners who:Are intermediate iOS developers looking to take the next big stepAre self-taught and want to bridge the “professional polish” gapStruggle with take-home tests or technical interviews and need a better strategyWant to build a portfolio project that actually shows off your capabilityBy the end of the course, you’ll not only have a polished SwiftUI app in your portfolio—you’ll understand how to write code that communicates senior-level thinking. You'll be ready to impress in interviews and finally move forward in your iOS career.If you're serious about getting hired—and staying hired—this is the course that will get you there.
