Description

This course aims to show you that building IOS Apps with swift is fun and relatively easy. Learn how to create 20 apps using apples new language Swift. Each app will be a bit more complex, but we build it together, so theres no guesswork as to the process and what the code is doing. A lot of work goes into my courses to make the code as easy to understand as possible..i use callout graphics, highlighting, and deep explanations to help guide you along the path of the code, each step of the way.

Some of what you will be leaning:

Featuring apps built by the award winning programmer Paul Hudson of HackingWithSwift dot com
The Swift language - we go from variables to creating our own functions and more
Learn Swift by use of diagrams / highlighting / graphics
Learning the ins and outs of Xcode 7 and its many attributes
Working in storyboards and all it nuances
How to use with controls / Outlets and Actions
How to use logic for smooth control flow
Using segues and passing data, in storyboards, and programmatically
Using delegates and protocols
Adding audio / Animations

Autolayout easy and advanced - create constraints using VFL
Learn how to work with JSON data in swift
All videos are recorded in HD for maximum resolution and clarity

Swift is the new language of the future, And with this course you will get plenty of instruction on how to implement Swift code in unique ways, in an easy to understand step by step format. Everything is explained in detail using graphics, animations, and annotations, so there's no guesswork as to how or why the code works the way it does, it just all makes sense, and is easy to implement, and before you know it you will have built yourself a wonderful working app that you can submit to the app store.

This course assumes you have no programming experience, so its perfect for the beginner. Its also a nice fit for the intermediate and experienced coder as the course covers advanced techniques as well...like creating autolayout constraints in code using VFL.

By adding your own creativity and data, you will be transformed into an Apple Developer in a very short time.

Happy Coding :-)

Who this course is for:

This course is for those who are new to IOS developing and have a burning desire to get their own creative ideas translated into an app ready for the app store, and for the intermediate and advanced developer as well
This is the perfect course if your coming from another language like Objective C or any other language, and you'll see how easy it is to transition to swift.
