It starts by reviewing/teaching basic commands (loops, if-then-else, etc.) using a miniature game world. It then introduces UI elements and shows you how to programmatically build up a UI screen / app.I found the teaching progression to be chaotic: for example, I learned something during. task 1 that later tasks didn't want me to use. I found it merely irritating, but others might find it too frustrating or confusing to continue.One tip: when I first tried to use the app tutorials they wouldn't work, telling me that the .swiftpm file type couldn't be opened.
