Explore how Xcode, Apple's integrated development environment, enables building apps across iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Mac with tools to manage development from creation to Apple store submission.
Master Xcode basics by creating a new project, and understanding Apple targets, scene delegate, view controller, storyboard, assets, launch screens, and privacy settings in Info.plist.
Explore the main storyboard basics to lay out the UI with a label and a button across view controllers, and learn to link segues to the Swift code file.
Connect your main storyboard to code by linking a label and a button to a view controller, creating an action to update the label text when pressed.
Learn how to use constraints in Xcode to position UI elements like labels and buttons consistently across devices, including top and side constraints, horizontal centering, and leading/trailing rules.
Create a new Xcode project using Firebase to retrieve data, set up login, sign up, and home view controllers, and organize files for three essential screens.
Finish configuring the login and sign up view controllers, and link all three controllers (including the home page) to the storyboard using the assistant editor and identity inspector.
Explore how to create and customize the app user interface in Xcode, building login and signup screens with styled buttons, text fields, and constraints.
Explore segues in iOS development, using action segues and manual segues to navigate between view controllers, assign identifiers, and trigger transitions with performSegue.
Discover Firebase basics and focus on its database tools, comparing real-time database with the cloud database called Fire Storm, while learning how analytics and crash reporting support app development.
Explore how Firestore, the Firebase database, stores data in collections, documents, and fields. See examples of users and channels with emails, names, and colors, plus subcollections for messages.
Set up your Firebase project and enable Google Analytics for crash reporting. Link Firebase with Xcode and explore authentication, database, storage, hosting, functions, and machine learning options in the course.
Connect your iOS project with Firebase, configure the bundle id, download the Google services plist, install the Firebase SDK with CocoaPods, and verify the integration.
Implement a sign up flow with Firebase in a Swift iOS app, creating email/password accounts and storing the user’s name in the database under a users collection.
Implement the login function for the iOS project using Firebase authentication, signing in with email and password after trimming inputs and validating fields. Handle errors and success.
Learn to fetch and display data from a Firebase database in an iOS app by accessing a users collection, matching document IDs, and reading the name field.
Welcome to the Xcode and Firebase for Beginners course! I am Daniel, your instructor for this course. I am fluent in many different languages including Xcode's Swift. I have 5 years of experience using this language so I will make sure to teach you everything I know. I am excited to meet all of you guys and am looking forward to the class!
We will learn about setting up UI in Xcode, linking objects from the UI to actual code, basic OOP in Swift, and view controllers.
We will also be diving in some basics of Firebase's authentication and database system. With that, we will be building a simple login and sign up page with user's information saved in the database. Then we will retrieve the data with our own functions! This course presents trivial yet important skills can be used in the future for jobs in data science.
What you will master:
Implementations for Firebase's Cloud database: Firestore.
Programming and basic OOP in Swift.
A full understanding of basic UI including View Controllers in Xcode.
Debugging mistakes in your own code
Cocoapods installation and usage.
What you will need:
A MacBook
Positive mindset
Nothing else!
Hope you enjoy and don't hesitate to ask any questions or reach out!
