Por mucho que se empeñen algunas la gente... Aprender y estudiar, no son lo mismo. Hacemos formación. Y muy buena. No vivimos en una cueva. Sabemos que hay muchísimas plataformas, muy molonas, con cursos con portadas muy chulas echas con I.A... Que sí, que son geniales, pero... … con cursos duran 40 horas para explicarte un hola mundo. … con cursos para convertirte en experto, pero el primer tema es encender el PC... … con cursos con 250 páginas PPT que no dicen nada. ************************** El nuevo oro es el tiempo ************************** Y nos parece horrible robarte tu oro. Nos gusta ir al grano. Si lo podemos contar en 10 minutos, mejor que en 1 hora. Si te lo podemos contar sin leer una PPT, así lo hacemos. Si cuando has leído la frase de arriba te has sentido identificado. Quédate. Sino ha sido así, deberías de ir a alguna de las otras plataformas tan molonas. Esta aplicación hará que no pierdas el tiempo y que aprender sea más fácil y rápido.

Learn Swift, SwiftUI, and native development for Apple platforms with instructors who have more than 10 years of experience and have taught thousands of students. Be Native combines structured training, guided projects, and continuously updated practical content. Explore sample lessons from many courses and mini-courses to experience the teaching method before choosing a Junior or Senior subscription. Be Native runs natively on iPhone Duo, with layouts for every pose. Fold it to keep video above its information without interrupting playback, read articles like a book across the hinge, or use bedside mode for full-screen video and large podcast controls. BILINGUAL TRAINING New training content includes Spanish and English audio tracks, professional subtitles in both languages, and full transcripts. Dual audio is being extended across the historical catalog. All source code used in the videos is included so you can study, run, and adapt it. FOUR WAYS TO LEARN - Full courses with progressive learning paths and guided projects - Mini-courses focused on specific frameworks, tools, and goals - Quick tips that solve everyday development problems - Practical, reusable code snippets explained with context - Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, SwiftData, architecture, Xcode, GitHub, and AI-assisted development - Weekly content aligned with the latest iOS, Swift, and WWDC updates CODE NOTES AND EXPLANATIONS Save snippets, development tips, programming notes, and ideas from any lesson or article in the new Notes module. On compatible devices where Apple Intelligence is available, you can also ask the system to explain the code in lesson examples. EXPLORE THE PLATFORM Explore articles, videos, newsletters, live sessions, and original Spanish-language podcasts covering the Apple ecosystem. Save favorites, build topic notebooks, and find the right lesson with private on-device semantic search. A PATH FOR EVERY LEVEL Junior unlocks beginner and junior training. Senior unlocks the full path: beginner, junior, intermediate, senior, and expert. Build solid foundations first and move forward when you are ready. TOOLS THAT SUPPORT REAL LEARNING - Digital notebooks and topic-based notes - Timestamp markers inside every video - Favorites, progress tracking, and notifications - VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and reduced-motion support - One subscription for iPhone, iPad, and Mac - A Mac experience built from scratch for macOS, with multi-window workflows Be Native also introduces a more modern design, renewed with ideas and feedback from the community. Be Native does not promise shortcuts. It gives you a clear path to understand code, practice with purpose, and become the developer you would hire. Understand the code. Change the world. ASK, FIND AND KEEP LEARNING Ask Be Native answers questions using your courses, lessons, podcasts, articles and transcripts, on device. Spotlight helps you find lessons by idea, not just by matching words. SiriAI can find lessons, create and manage notes, and play podcasts. These features require iOS 27, Apple Intelligence and SiriAI (beta). SiriAI currently speaks English only. More languages are coming soon. Your Library groups saved, in-progress and completed content, with search, sorting and filters. Organize notes in notebooks and folders, recover them from Recently Deleted, and build your own lists. Article read-aloud remembers your place across devices. On iPad, read articles in a two-page landscape layout. Add Shortcuts to resume a course, reopen recent content or open notes.
