How to Build a Widget in Swift with WidgetKit

I teach you the basic concepts you'll need to know when building a Widget in Swift. We discuss the Widget timeline, snapshot and how they work. As well as design principles of a great widget. This video will get you up and running into the world of building awesome Widgets.

This is a free preview of my WidgetKit course. This is only the first section that covers a basic widget. We get much more advanced in the full course with network calls, core data, configurations, lock screen widgets, live activities and dynamic island.
