Learn API calls while building a Pokédex!

Coding educators. I’m updating the flipped class courses content for SwiftUI in Xcode that I’ve created & share for free on YouTube. I’ve just completed an update of the chapter where students build a Pokédex using API calls, JSON parsing, and learn all sorts of other fun techniques, like displaying images downloaded from the Internet, loading new data as the user scrolls, and much more. And students love working with the Pokémon API while learning these topics. I even cover recursion - a far more fun context than the typical “Fibonacci Sequence”, which I never, ever coded once while in Industry.

Feel free to check out the full playlist for this chapter at: http://bit.ly/swiftui-pokedex

And the entire course (which is still being revised)( is at https://bit.ly/prof-g-swiftui.

Cheers!
