SwiftUI & Metal: Elevating Apps with Shader Techniques

Join our SwiftUI and Metal Shading Language course - simplicity meets creativity in application development. A beginner or an experienced developer, learn how to use Metal to get awesome visual effects in your applications.

You will:

Learn the basics of the Metal Shading Language MSL in easy, practical examples with SwiftUI. We split difficult concepts into bits and pieces and make them easy to understand.

Learn to create dynamic, flowing views in an application that respond to user interaction-more and more the order of the day: lava lamp effect

Design dynamic wave animations useful for such a broad range of applications-from backgrounds to interactive elements. Thus learn about noise and Fractal Brownian Motion, a powerful method for creating natural-looking textures and effects that makes an app pop.

This chapter translates many examples of GLSL into Metal Shading Language so that you can apply your existing knowledge and resources learning Metal.
Practical code examples you can easily take back into your own projects.



Our style is very hands on and project-oriented. Snippets and real-world examples are incorporated into every module, so you can apply them toward real-world problems once you learn the material. We also dive rather deeply into the differences and comparisons between Metal and GLSL so you get a better feel for the strengths of both languages.
