Lesson 13 - iOS weather forecast app - GUI and basic classes
In the previous lesson, iOS ToDo app in Swift - Database migrations and sorting, we finished a ToDo app for iOS that uses a database.
In today's Swift tutorial, we're going to create a simple weather forecast
app. The app will determine the user's location, search for the
current weather using a web service based on this location, and
display it. As a bonus, we'll have a look at saving data to
UserDefaults, which is going to be useful for individual weather
values. Also, we'll learn to save and load images.

After you finish this tutorial, you'll know all the basic principles for creating various apps.
