Any iOS developers want to help me with learning Swift and Xcode?

I need help understanding the concepts of swift. I finished the playground training and the single view app course, but I still can't manage to create apps on my own. Anyone willing to help?

Try to take the next courses (even if you are not 100% clear on some concepts) or change from Swift to Objective-C and back (altho I don't recommend Obj-C on your first endeavor into programming, I must say that what I once found to be a very challenging language became much clearer when I took the Treehouse Course).

Sometimes some concepts you don't grasp in a language becomes clearer as you attempt to do things in other languages so you could also try something different like Python or Ruby. I took the Swift course and then the Objective-C courses and some concepts took a long time to sink in as I progressed, and I had a programming background.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think one should have the expectation to build an app from just these two courses. Keep going, follow the tracks and you will do great!

PS: I personally don't see Udemy as being all that. Way overpriced and sometimes teachers with great reviews can be quite bad. I like the Treehouse method. Practical, going from basic to advanced, and fun!

Thank you I appreciate the advice! :D

I would suggest purchasing a course on Udemy. A professional-grade iOS development instructor will guide you through the building of a dozen or so apps, step by step. This would probably be the closest thing you are looking for.
