VStack, HStack, and ZStack in SwiftUI | Bootcamp #10 

Before finding this course, I had been compulsively searching the web for a course that is free, covers ALL the basic foundations, and goes in depth on each topic. This is the only thing I've found that has all three of them. I am so grateful for you and these videos. I know this has helped so many people

"Let's get stacking!" I prefer ZStacks to backgrounds. Partly, because they make sense to me and partly because they seem to respect the boundaries of stacks they are placed inside (in your last example, the background circle goes over the edge of the VStack).

Your content is pure gold. You teach and go about explaining things in a "declarative" form that is very high level and greatly detailed! You really have great structure and everything makes perfect sense. Hope your next Udemy course can be a "real" full bootcamp of this caliber and depth.

It is very rare that I see such level of organization and clear explanation, please do not stop. I would love to see a Swift language course for beginners/intermediate/advanced levels in your channel, I am pretty sure you will rock it.

You're generating these videos faster than I can assimilate them. But don't worry - you're doing a great job and I will learn them all.

I think you could have also mentioned that you can only place a max of 10 things in each stack. Because the error it gives you when you add 11 things is not clear and I spent hours trying to find out what was wrong. Anyway still an amazing video. All your vids are great. Explained so clearly. The best that I’ve found so far.

Love the way you teach. The best ever teacher I have in my entire life.

I can't thank you enough for this series. I don't understand at all why so few likes are given here. I had already gone through other introductions to Swift, but didn't really feel able to implement given layouts. Now after the first 10 episodes of your series, light comes into the dark. I still have a whopping 44 chapters ahead of me, which will probably be a kind of pressure fueling - but in a pleasant way, I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks again!

Thank you! I followed along in Xcode, I feel like a expert on stacks now, very informative. Best video on stacks I’ve ran across so far. Great job! 👍🏽 Highly grateful.

Nick, I took some other intro courses to SwiftUI. Never really got the grasp of stacks until i saw this video. Thank you so much for the clear explanation.

I'm studying SwiftUI for a one month now and I know a lot of stuff, but I realized that I didn't learn some of the basic stuff like alignment an others, thinks that you teach very well!! I wish I had started to learn from you! Thanks

Thanks again - I use backgrounds for the simpler elements and stacks to put them together on the screen.

I like how you show things and explain really well in which situations the things you are showing are used the right way in your opinion. For example the .background()/.overlay() vs. the ZStack. Great work!

Really great job on your videos and playlists! This is exactly what I needed as someone who was in the process of learning UIKit but decided to switch to over to SwiftUI. I could see you being one of the major go tos for iOS and Swift training in the future and the top answer when someone asks in a developer forum how they start learning iOS app development. Amazing content!

I don't have money now, but the first time I get the money, I will support you with everything I have You deserve more than this you are a hero

Thank you for explaining this in a way people like me can understand. I subscribed and look forward to learning more.

hey man this is really cool you are very creative (i think your channel will reach 1 million subscribers soon)

Idk if somebody noticed it or not, but if we use ZStack then the size of the circle is included into the ZStack. ZStack adapts its width and height to the items it has inside but with the background we can see that it includes into VStack only the number and not the circle, which makes setting up the spacing a bit more confusing. I think the background function is supposed to be used only when you want to make a background and when spacing doesn't matter and in all other cases, ZStack is the way to go.

I hope this course eventually talks about responsive design. I've yet to find good resources for learning to make sure my UI looks good across all screen sizes

Love every single video! Such a cool Bootcamp! Thanks a lot for doing a great job!

Thank you! Very well explained, super easy to understand :-)

Thank you so much for doing this. I might feel a little slow to you or those watching, meticulously going through all options is so helpful. Especially, this video. Using Stacks versus Overlays and Backgrounds is an important question. Yes you can use them interchangeably, sometimes, it important to understand the differences and the possible reasons why you might want to use one over the other.

I used to use easy peasy but now junior az storyboard technique, now I'm learing this thanks to this great course.

Thank you so much for this bootcamp! you are a great teacher!!!

Super helpful! Thanks a lot Nick! I believe Stacks can be used where there is a complex layout with collection views, scrollable views, table views etc... and background and overlays at component level ( titles with transparent backgrounds, buttons and badges , menu items and so on )

Hi Nick, i will go with both Thnx for the BootLesson it’s super

I feel like ZStacks are more intuitive for stacking and backgrounds/Overlays for styling. Anyway, great lesson, as always!

2 Years later still the best for a beginner

The 3rd one, we'll keep it 100 lol. Nice

Awesome videos boss

Thank you :) learned key points very quickly .

thanx for this course and background and overlay is easy to use.

You are the best Nick! Thanks a lot

clear understanding...😎thx bro

Thank You , I want to Thank You very much , your explanation is very helpful , magic basics , magic explanation

Thanks for the videos. Well done!

I prefer the second one , now that I know that background is a view !

Very informative and well presented!

ZStack is easier for me. But I use .background() modifier as well from time to time. Thanks for the video.

awesome video. thanks!

Dude, keep doing what you doing

must have basics, thx man

These videos are so helpful thank you so much!!!!!!

These videos are great. Thank you so much

Thank you!!!

14:05 is looking like a high end NY piece of abstract art lol

1:23 Lucky I like your content 😆

your a legend thanks

This was so helpful

Thank you nick, super video series

I can't figure out what I've prefer: in both methods are deprecated (some)groundColor moving into Style, .frame is also change its appearance. But background looks so Sketch/Figma style so it is modern :)

Very cool

you just explained so many topics i was struggling to understand and now i feel more confident to learn even more

Great video man !

Respect bro 瑞思拜

This channel made me love coding IOS

ZStacks for the win! Correct answer ;)

It looks as though the VStack is only tracking the frame for the Text("1") and not measuring off of the circle as well, which is my guess as to why there is a overlap of the circles at 19:44. Do I have that correct?

Is it true to say, the purpose of stacks is just like what we would find in css flex box - their purpose is to maintain uniformity on all screens?

i'd never worked with Overlays & Backgrounds instead of ZStack)

How do you move a VStack or just a button up and down on the screen? I am unable to drag and drop buttons etc in my SwiftViews

I prefer ZStacks, It's easier for me to understand the code.

It's ZStack for me

Zed - stack haha, Canada
