Description

Welcome to iOS fundamentals course where we will explore a high level overview of all the building blocks you will need to build great iOS applications.

This class covers a broad overview of iOS related topics in bite sized videos that you can follow along with. This class assumes you have some exposure to programming and are able to get setup and follow along. To succeed in this class it is best to follow along with each video. You would be best served by coding along with the video and making sure that your project outputs the same or similar results as mine as you go through each video in the series.

The class project will require that you exercise many of the topics covered in the videos to build your own application. You can refer to the class videos if you get stuck or forget how to do something a particular way. If you code along the way throughout each video you can refer to that as a reference for the class project.

Specific topics covered in this course are:

Subclassing UIViewControllers
Understanding different kinds of segues and application navigation
Learning about UINavigationControllers and UITableViewControllers
AutoLayout
Subclassing UITableViewCells
The basics of protocols and delegation
Learning about the UIPickerView
Capturing user input with UITextFields
Passing data between view controllers
Creating UI elements programmatically
Learning the basic concepts of caring about the user interface and user experience.
