I’ve recorded a video version of the tutorial project, which will land on YouTube later today for folks who prefer watching to reading.

As this is the first edition of the book there’ll be quite a few typos and mistakes – let me know when you spot one and I’ll get it fixed! 🙌

In the meantime, check out the bottom of the dedication page for a video of me watching the Platforms State of the Union at WWDC23. I was just a ~bit~ happy to see SwiftData being announced 😅 https://www.hackingwithswift.com/quick-start/swiftdata/dedication

@twostraws thanks so much Paul! I’m up early here in Southern California to start watching 📺. I’ve already started modifying my app for SwiftData. Was looking forward to this as help to push me along! One question, does your material cover the situation of checking for and converting a user’s pre-existing @AppStorage local data into SwiftData + CloudKit when they first launch a new iOS 17 SwiftData version of an app? I’ve got both that situation to handle as well as pre-loading some static model data at first launch. Thanks so much for all you do!
