Description

Learn From One Of The 1st iOS Developers In The World

Our instructor Matt, has 13 years of experience in iOS and created the world's first iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps. Now, he dedicates his time to recording courses for iOSBFree (pronounced "iOS Be Free").


In This Course

1. We create two singletons in a Playground.

2. Each singleton is created using either a struct or a class.

3. We examine the advantages and disadvantages of each approach


Learning Objectives

· What is a singleton

· The behaviour of a struct singleton

· The behaviour of a class singleton


The Goal Of A Singleton

Together, we’ll examine the behaviour of two different approaches when creating singletons. The more classic approach is to create each singleton using a class due to its memory management - when the singleton is created it will exist in only one area of memory and never be duplicated. However, the opposite can be true when dealing with struct singletons.


Our Recommendation

Our recommendation would be to always use a class singleton due to the principle of a singleton itself, which is to maintain only one of its kind within the system. One manager handles the inflow and outflow of certain behaviour. If we want to ensure that we don’t duplicate our singleton, we should stay away from struct value types that use such behaviour by default.


Sample Code

Sample Code Is Always Included and attached to each video. You can download the same project used in each episode of the course.


This Course Is Free

This course is free. We aim to publish as many short courses as we can to help new iOS Developers apply for jobs in iOS and enter a high paying profession. We want those developers to write great apps that are robust, work correctly, and are maintainable. By supplying this information for free we hope we can reach as many people studying in the pandemic as we can.

With this class I was able immediately to fix a bug due to creating a new instance of a class. Singleton made the code work.
