Overview

Want to design and develop iOS apps, even if you have little or no programming experience? This video course will show you how. By eliminating the jargon, host Steve Derico teaches you the programming basics and iOS 8 building blocks necessary to build multi-screen apps. You’ll learn how to submit your app to the Apple Store, and get tips for tracking, marketing, and updating it.

This video teaches you programming concepts through step-by-step tutorials and hands-on exercises for designing a tip calculator, a race car, an iOS Passport app, and a selfie app. In the process, you’ll learn the principles behind the grammar and syntax of Swift, the new iOS programming language.

  • Learn programming basics such as the Model-View-Controller theory
  • Dive into Swift’s types, collections, loops, and conditional statements
  • Start writing your own Swift functions and classes
  • Learn about various iOS controllers for building multi-screen apps
  • Debug your app, and add App Icons and Launch Images
  • Get up to speed on Auto Layout, Apple’s interface layout system
  • Find a user’s location with Core Location, and plot it on a map with Map Kit

  • Get acquainted with the Objective-C language—and understand when you should use it
