Are you an experienced non-mobile developer interested in writing your first iOS app? Or maybe a mobile developer wondering how to enhance your app or simplify your code using Realm and SwiftUI?
I've written a number of tutorials aimed at these cohorts, and I've published a video that attempts to cover everything in just 40 minutes.
I start with a brief tour of the anatomy of a mobile app—covering both the backend and frontend components.
The bulk of the tutorial is devoted to a hands-on demonstration of building a simple chat app. The app lets users open a chatroom of their choice. Once in a chat room, users can share messages with other members.
While the app is simple, it solves some complex distributed data issues, with real-time syncing of data between your backend database and your mobile apps. Realm is also available for other platforms, such as Android, so the same back end and data can be shared with all versions of your app.
You can find all of the code from the tutorial in the repo.
If this tutorial whet your appetite and you'd like to see more (and maybe try it for yourself), then I'm running a more leisurely(?) two-hour workshop at MongoDB World 2022—From 0 to Mobile Developer in 2 Hours with Realm and SwiftUI, where I build an all-new app. There's still time to register for MongoDB World 2002.
