Hi Product Hunt, After 5 months of non-stop work, I'm releasing the iOS app that I build from scratch in order to teach designers how to code. This time, it's not a demo app. It's a real app where you can read, bookmark, track your progress, do exercises. The app also teaches you how to make that app. No more to-do apps that don't face real-world problems. Instead, you learn important topics like marrying design and code, prototyping, animations, gestures, adapting for iPhone X and iPad, etc. Every step is shown in a video and put into searchable words and images. We teach Sketch app, Framer, Xcode 9 and other prototyping tools. We're planning to add React, ARKit, and Android later. There is a free trial for 7 days! Ask me anything! Meng

@mengto Wow this is pretty cool. I can see this being really useful, seems user friendly and I like the layout.

@abadesi Thank you! We put a ton of effort on a seamless experience, focusing on smooth transitions, animations and gestures. These topics are rarely taught elsewhere in a cohesive way.

Design+Code 1 was one of the reasons I got my first tech job! And this looks even better 👌

@mlejva Wow. Super happy to hear that the first book helped you in any way land a new job. Means a ton. 🙌

Hey, @mengto ! Congratulation on a such a huge launch! Design+Code has already helped lots of people to ship their ideas as iOS applications. And I'm sure this update will bring even more people to learn design and development. This book is a must-have resource if you want to learn how to deliver a high-quality iOS application from start (design/prototype phase) to finish (publish to the App Store). Definitely, recommend to everyone and thank you so much for creating it 😊 P.S.: Product demo video is fantastic! Amazing work! 🤘

@geek_1001 Thank Ahmed, this means a lot from a fellow maker! We're slowly learning to upgrade our video skills thanks to @dnisttahuz who have been working extremely hard on the video, making all the animations in Screenflow(!) and AfterEffects. We also have Ricky who did both the voice and the music/sound from scratch. I'd love to get our team teach these amazing topics that can be so beneficial to all makers.

Perfect for designers wanting to dive into development. Also perfect for developers wanting to dive headfirst into screen design.

Pros:

Very thorough. Great content for both designers and developers.

Cons:

N/A - Seriously great product.

Was really waiting for something like monthly subscriptions for this. Great job!

@sebastiancrossa Glad you think so. I know a lot of people are against subscriptions, but we work really hard to bring new content on a regular basis. Additionally, we got a surprising amount of requests for monthly sub + free trial since that represents less commitment.

I’ve been following Meng’s work for years. I even share his course at Apple for the designers who wanted to prototype in Storyboard. Since then, the quality raised to super pro.

It’s rare, but his team released the ultimate course to learn design and code for iOS.

for The price itself is a joke sent to other Behemoth, MOCs and al.

Respect old friends. What a journey!

Pros:

Simply the best. Eas y to understand, perfectly designed, tons of video. I’m an early adopter since v1. What a job!

Cons:

Seriously non

This is great @mengto! Design+Code 1 was a great way for me to kickstart my learning, and I'm sure this will be a great addition/continuation 🚀

@hugojmd Deeply thankful to our V1 readers! Wouldn't be here without them. V2 is about twice as big and has a lot more videos in addition to the iOS app. All topics have been updated for iOS 11 and to support iPhone X. We're also including all the wallpapers that you can use commercially for your projects. Hope it'll follow you well on your journey to learn Swift 4 and feel free to ask any question!

The website is amazing!!! incredible job on that...
Andy Parkhills
Awesome!

This is definitely one of those things I'd pay more for to pay once. $11.99 a month is too much and so is ~$72 a year. I'd buy it for the price of the book! You can even not give me updates!

@mattahorton Hi Matt, I totally understand. You can still buy the book once (without renewal) by paying through Paypal. We'll support more methods later. Once you pay or use the trial, you can download the entire book and keep all its content forever, without updates. But, when iOS 12, Swift 5 and Xcode 10 come along, I believe that you'll find that it's worth having the updates. :)

@mengto I bought the book design code from the website few days ago. and couldn't login through the app though using the same account credentials! Help me out please!

As a reader of Design+Code 1, couldn’t wait for this! Amazing work!

This is awesome. I'm really enjoying it so far. Great work 👍

I used v1, excited to try the latest!
