Learn To Build iOS Apps From Ground Up

Master the fundamentals of programming by exploring variables, constants, functions, and if statements, building versatile skills transferable to other languages.

Explore the fundamentals of programming with Swift, learn how programming languages work, and practice in Xcode playgrounds to transfer skills to other languages for iOS app development.

Master constants and variables in Swift playgrounds, print strings and numbers to the console, and use single-line and multi-line comments to explain your code.

Master arrays in Swift by distinguishing constants and variables, accessing items via zero-based indexing, and mutating lists with append and remove while handling strings and integers.

Learn how for loops and while loops work in swift, iterating arrays, managing indexes with count, avoiding out-of-range errors, and practical examples like a shopping list and multiples of five.

Discover programming basics for iOS app development, including constants and variables, using comments, looping with for or while, and reusing code via functions and if statements.

Explore designing user interfaces for iOS apps that scale across devices and learn to build programmatic user interfaces without storyboards in section three.

Learn how storyboard constraints ensure your UI scales across iPhone and iPad by using center horizontally in safe area, pinning to top, leading, trailing, and maintaining aspect ratio.

Attach storyboard components to the view controller, define outlets and actions, and update the user interface programmatically in viewDidLoad, including label text, colors, and images from assets.

Learn to navigate between screens with navigation controllers and tab bar controllers, embedding view controllers, creating segues, and using navigation bars or bottom tabs for push and back navigation.

Learn to programmatically create UI components and view controllers without a storyboard, adding a label and button, then apply auto layout constraints and safe area anchors.

Learn to build iOS apps by constraining and scaling layouts, connecting components to the view controller, and defining a programmatic interface with navigation between views.

Explore advanced user interface components, including table views and clashing views, and learn to customize our table view to close out section three.

Learn to build table view interfaces by creating a custom table view cell subclass, wiring the delegate and data source, and constructing UI with labels and images and constraints.

Learn to build iOS layouts with stack views by adding diverse subviews, configuring axis and distribution, and using constraints to control width, height, spacing, and alignment.

Review table views, custom table view cells, and data sources and delegates for both table and collection views. Demonstrate reusable cells dequeued and reused in a table view.

Explore the Firebase console and learn about the product offerings, then practice adding, reading, updating, and deleting data in a database.

Explore Firebase, a Google backend service, covering authentication, databases (Firestone and Real-time), storage, analytics, hosting, functions, and cloud messaging, with a hands-on project setup.

Create an iOS project and connect it to Firebase via GoogleService-Info.plist. Install Firebase iOS SDK via Swift Package Manager and initialize Firebase in app delegate for analytics, authentication, and storage.

Learn to read data from a Firebase Cloud Firestore database in an iOS app by configuring the SDK, selecting a collection, and handling the completion with documents and errors.

Develop and manage data in a Firebase database from a Swift app by creating, updating, and deleting documents and fields, using set, update, and delete with completion handlers.

Explore the Firebase console, including authentication and messaging products, connect an iOS project with the Firebase iOS SDK, and use it to read, write, update, and delete data.

Explore advanced Firebase features in section six, including observers, authentication, and database rights, building on prior lessons to show where these tools are useful.

Observers create a live link between the Firebase database and your iOS app using a snapshot listener to update the UI when data changes, driving a table view of users.

Enable Firebase authentication with email and password, create a login flow with username and password fields and a sign-in button, and implement logout to manage the current user.

Implement a create account flow for iOS apps using Firebase authentication, capturing email and password, and navigate between login and create account views with a navigation controller.

Discover how observers connect to a document in a database or collection to deliver live updates, then implement authentication for logging in and creating user accounts, and explore batched rights.

Dive into the first project: build a news application by designing the user interface and fetching articles from an API to display online news in a usable app.

Call a news API using the everything and top headlines endpoints, pass parameters such as q and language, parse JSON, and populate a table view with article titles.

Build a news feed UI with a custom table view cell that displays image, title, description, and date, loading images from the web with proper constraints.

Build a full article page UI by creating an article view controller and using a scroll view and container view to display the title, description, content, and image.

Learn to integrate the News API in an iOS app by obtaining an API key, calling the API from Xcode, and mapping articles to a news article model.

Finish the Firebase-based news app by implementing automatically locking in on first open, retrieving user data, and enabling and viewing comments on articles after upload.

Enable automatic login by checking firebase authentication's current user on app start, fetch the user data from the firestorm database, and switch the login/logout button to maintain sessions across launches.

Learn to build an iOS app feature that models and uploads comments on news articles, displays them in a comments table view, and integrates a comment upload flow with Firebase.

Fetch and display comments for each news article by querying the Firebase collections, retrieving comment documents, mapping data to comment models, and presenting them in a table view for users.

Upload a user profile to Firebase using the authenticator's ID and retrieve it, then enable automatic Firebase authentication and upload and display article comments.
