[UDM] SwiftUI & Metal: Elevating Apps with Shader Techniques Course (Jan 2025) + Project Files

The Power of SwiftUI and Metal
Learn how to effortlessly integrate SwiftUI with the raw power of Metal, Apple’s graphics API, to develop astonishing, visually advanced apps that excite. The SwiftUI & Metal: Elevating Apps with Shader Techniques Course will teach you the Metal Shading Language (MSL) so you understand how shaders can be used to make your iOS, macOS, and visionOS applications come to life with animations, textures, and dynamic transformations. And even when you may not have written a shader before, you will learn how to use them step-by-step in SwiftUI.

Hands-On Shader Techniques and Effects
Over 7+ hours, you will complete some project-based tasks that start easy and gradually become more complicated. You will find yourself trying out the potent effects such as colorEffect, distortEffect, and layerEffect, as well as noise functions and Fractal Brownian Motion, which will enable more realistic pattern creation. Learners are also taught to convert GLSL to Metal in this course, which means an easy transition of OpenGL developers to the Apple ecosystem.

Project-Based Learning Approach
All the lessons of the SwiftUI & Metal: Elevating Apps with Shader Techniques Course are very practical, using an actual real-world project and supported with bite-sized code samples so that you not only get to learn the theory but also use it as well. You will add glowing, wavy, and distorted optical effects, make interactive noise-based graphics, and you will also explore the use of Voronoi patterns to deliver professional-quality output. Every single line of code found here will be reusable, and you can start using these effects in your own SwiftUI applications today.

Learn From an Experienced Instructor
Under the guidance of Dr. Ron Erez, a long-term expert in the field of programming and teaching with more than 30 years of experience, you will receive clarification and useful practical data. The SwiftUI & Metal: Elevating Apps with Shader Techniques Course also contains a community discord to join so you can socialize with fellow learners, discuss shaders, and receive feedback. And the result will be that you can design your apps in a way that not only communicates effectively but that looks good to boot.
