    We just added 9 new videos and 4 new major Sections: Design for iPad, Design for Web, Design for Web Part 2 and Animate in Playground.

    Producing all this content for Sketch has been really challenging and time-consuming for the whole team, which took away focus from Chapter 3 and 4. The good news is that we're almost done. And because the final app is now solid and approved for beta, we can finally write the more technical parts without worrying that big changes are still needed. Thank for your patience and I promise that it will all be worth it in the end, as we have really awesome content coming.

  • 3 New Videos - Nov 21, 2017

  • Intro to Framer - Nov 09, 2017

    We're excited to release our first unplanned content: Intro to Framer. Having a team is what allows us to expand our content!

  • Chapter 3 Early Access - Nov 07, 2017

    Chapter 3 is now available. This time, it's really early access. There are currently 5 sections, with 10 more on the way. Allow me to explain. First, I've been working every single day. Starting a team is a big time investment, but also a needed step to ensure that I teach the right things. We're producing content as fast as we can: high-quality videos for every section in Chapter 2 & 3, and new unplanned contents like Framer, React, iPhone X and Cinema 4D. Before I knew it, those things totally sucked my time. Please know that I will do my damn best to release at least the full content and videos for Chapter 1, 2 and 3 at the appointed date: November 14.

  • ePub File - Nov 01, 2017

Last week has been particularly challenging because I've started hiring designers and coders. The good news is that we went from 1 person to a 6-person team! This means that we'll pushing out a lot of new content soon.

  • ePub file - Oct 19, 2017

    ePub file is available for Chapter 1.

  • New Section - Oct 16, 2017

    Design for iPad section added. A number of fixes were deployed: links open in new window, blockquotes show properly and styling fixes for iPhone.

  • Early Access - Oct 10, 2017

    You can now access the chapter 1, which has been completely updated for iOS 11 and iPhone X. Even with 60 hours last week and 4 hours of sleep today, I couldn't complete the entire chapter 1, so please bear with me as I continue to update the content. Designing for iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV are coming. Also, please keep in mind that this really is an early access. In other words, it's rough. Please expect a lot of changes.

    The iOS app is still being worked on and should be accessible next week. Since it's an offline app, the database needs to sync across devices. If that doesn't function correctly, I can't release the app just yet. I wouldn't want you to have your progress or bookmarks lost along the way. Progress and bookmarks will also come for the Web later.

    I can't thank you enough for trusting this book. As always, I will do my very best to meet your high expections. If you have any question or suggestion, you can always reach us via email, Twitter or on Spectrum.
