In the sessions, we go through any challenge students are facing in their daily work. For example, passing job interviews, testing, refactoring, improving app architecture, threading, concurrency, migrating to diffable data sources, and so on.
Literally, anything that hasn't clicked yet.
Every mentoring session is recorded and shared with the community, so everyone learns together.
We recommend you go through all lectures before watching the mentoring sessions. You can come back to this page at any point to access the recordings.
Who teaches iOS Dev Mentoring Sessions? Essential Developer
Essential Developer (essentialdeveloper.com) is a UK-based iOS / Swift training company run by Mike Apostolakis and Caio Zullo, focused on the senior-engineering side of iOS work — TDD, Clean Architecture, modular code design, and the production patterns that scale iOS codebases past the small-app size.
The CourseFlix listing carries two Essential Developer courses: iOS Dev Mentoring Sessions and iOS Dev Tooling. The teaching style is unusually rigorous for the iOS-tutorial market — material is taught at the level of architects responsible for codebases that will run in production for years.
Material is paid and aimed at intermediate-and-up iOS developers ready to take TDD and software-architecture work as serious professional disciplines. For broader content, see CourseFlix's Swift category page.

Frequently asked questions
What are the prerequisites for enrolling in the iOS Dev Mentoring Sessions?
The course is designed for individuals who have a foundational understanding of iOS development. Familiarity with concepts such as MVVM, architecture patterns, and Core Data is beneficial. The sessions build on these topics to help students apply them in real-world scenarios, making it ideal for those with some prior experience in iOS development.
What projects or applications will I build during the course?
The course focuses on improving existing skills rather than building specific projects from scratch. It includes practical sessions like app authorization and permission roles, threading operations, and using Combine with Firebase, which are integrated into existing development practices rather than isolated projects.
Who is the target audience for this course?
This course is tailored for aspiring senior iOS developers and those looking to refine their skills for advanced roles. It is particularly beneficial for developers who want to enhance their understanding of architecture and software design, team leadership, and advanced iOS development techniques.
What specific tools or platforms are covered in the sessions?
The sessions cover a range of tools and platforms essential for modern iOS development. Key topics include Test-driven MVVM with RxSwift, using Firebase for authentication, and exploring threading with Combine. These tools are integral to the exercises and scenarios discussed throughout the course.
How does this course compare in depth and scope to other iOS development courses?
Unlike introductory courses, this mentoring program delves into advanced topics such as SOLID principles, architecture design, and improving legacy codebases. It provides insights into transitioning from development roles to leadership positions, which is not typically covered in standard iOS courses.
What topics are not covered in the iOS Dev Mentoring Sessions?
The course does not cover basic iOS development concepts or beginner-level programming. It assumes that students already possess fundamental skills and focuses on advanced principles like dynamic UI with MVVM, dependency injection patterns, and test-driven development practices.
What is the expected time commitment for completing the course?
The course is structured into 20 sessions with a flexible runtime, allowing students to pace their learning according to their schedules. While specific runtime details are not provided, the course is designed to be completed alongside professional commitments, focusing on practical, real-world application of skills.
