In this lesson of the CWC+ iOS Database course, Chris shows us how to set up our own custom log-in & create user forms to use with Firebase Auth. Creating our own forms eliminates one of the issues I highlighted in the previous post in that we’re not reliant on […]

Lesson 1 : Introduction The second module of the CWC+ iOS Databases course begins with an introduction by Chris, going over familiar ground with setting up Firestore to work with our old Learning App project. I’ve taken the opportunity here to copy my previous app, figuring out where to rename […]

The final lesson of Module 1 from the CWC+ iOS Database course is a short video encouraging us to think about how best to arrange our data in Firestore depending upon what we need from it for each stage of our app, concluded with a general “do whatever’s easiest for […]
