Struggling to learn coding(iOS Swift/obj-c)

Hello everyone,

first of all, I want to say that this course is awesome, the instructions are very clear, lecturers are nice, but I am having a problem learning. I go through the courses and do the exercises, but I feel that I need to code more on those topics to understand them fully, and usually one or two exercises are not enough. For example, im now on the course Swift 2.0 in object oriented Swift and I understand pretty much everything about the code in the course, but there's no chance that I could make the code in the course myself. I feel that I learn coding fastest and most effective when I do problems on my own, and my question is there any resources of Swift/Objective-C exercises with answers/tutorials how to solve them? Im currently doing an internship at a company, but i feel incompetent for their problem solving, also to do an app on my own, I would really like some simple coding exercises like on Treehouse but much more of them to practice and learn. Thank you

I recommend reading the big nerd ranch book. The newer versions are in swift, and the older ones are in objective-c. Everything is explained in a very simple way, even the more complex topics such as Core Data, Core Animation, etc. If you get a strong grasp of Objective-C, Swift is a piece of cake.
