Overview

All you need is a keen interest to learn Swift for deploying apps on iPhone. If you have already built iOS applications in Objective-C for older iOS iterations but are not familiar with the new iOS SDK, then this course is ideal for you.

All aspiring mobile application developers will also find this course useful.

Description

Duration: 4 hours

Swift, which was developed in 2010 and introduced by Apple Inc. in 2014, replaced Objective-C which was then used to code iOS applications. Swift is regarded to be safer, more concise, and readable as compared to Objective-C. Swift is now the preferred way of developing iOS applications and comes in-built with Xcode 6 onwards.

This integrated course covers the basic concepts of Swift that are essential for iOS development and takes you through building iOS applications using real-time examples. Initially, it will cover the installation of Xcode and familiarize you with the environment.You will be introduced to the basics of Swift, including types, concepts, classes, structs, and so on. With a strong hold on the fundamentals, you are ready to get started with app coding. Later, we will learn how to build an application to create and query contacts. We will also discuss the different ways of storing data on the device.

Towards the end of the course, we will go towards advanced projects wherein we will see how to retrieve the weather forecast information, and learn how to detect the user's location. Finally, we will we will discuss a few of the concepts that are related to test-driven development (TDD).

After you complete the course, you will be able to build iOS applications using Swift, and will be able to apply a few TDD related concepts in your applications.

What am I going to get from this course?

  • Prepare your environment for iOS development

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
