The Swift Arcade Professional iOS Development Course - UIKit

Joining a company and starting work as an iOS engineer can initially feel overwhelming. Techniques we used for introductory iOS app aren’t there. People seem to expect you to know everything about core Apple frameworks like UIKit.

And there are just certain key practices everyone is going to expect you to be able to apply, which initially can seem really confusing, and everything can just feel overwhelming.

Not any more.

This course was created to help you make the transition from iOS hobbyist to working professionally.

Working professionally as an iOS engineer means:

• Knowing how to build apps programmatically without storyboards

• Understanding the fundamentals of Auto Layout and UIKit

• Being able to use version control and create pull requests using tools such as git

• Understand the basics of Agile

• Being comfortable modern software engineering practices like unit testing and refactoring

• Knowing the design patterns and idioms professional iOS developers use when writing professional code

This course will not only equip you with these essential skills, you will get to apply them on real life work examples and problems, all pulled from my experiences working as a professional iOS engineer on real world jobs.

By the end of this course you will:

• Be able to work professionally as an iOS engineer

• Have the confidence to join any team

• Possess the skills and tools necessary to hit the ground running when you land your first professional iOS job

And who am I? My name is Jonathan Rasmusson. I am a professional ex-Spotify iOS engineer who built the Spotify iMessaging app. I have authored several books on software delivery, and produce the YouTube channel The Swift Arcade. I will be your instructor for the course.

What are you waiting for? Come on in, and let’s begin your journey to a high paying, rewarding career as an iOS professional today.

What others are saying about this course:

• The best iOS course out there. The stuff he teaches is super relevant and to make everything from scratch, literally without even storyboards was amazing. There were so many concepts with which I used to struggle with and he taught them with ease. I am really glad I took this course. Keep making amazing videos Jonathan. You have a follower here :)

• If you wanna get things right? get this course. Getting things right is a huge part of your job as a professional iOS developer. There are many courses out there that teach you how develop iOS apps but they also teach you bad habits that you will need to correct in the future. So if you wanna save time and learn correctly from the start I would recommend this course to the moon and back.

• I really enjoy how the instructor has attitude to a student. Listening and watching it is just the honey on my heart. Additional the knowledge of instructor is amazing which it's multiply the experience :)

• Johnathan has a great visual style of explaining concepts! He's a great teacher!

• Excellent lessons! I have fairly extensive Swift experience, but I'm learning so much to improve the quality and professionalism of my code.

• One of the best courses on udemy, you will learn a lot even if you are an experienced iOS developer, I really recommend it.

• I found this course through the Swift Arcade YouTube channel. For the longest time I had been looking for a course to really show me how to develop an iOS app similarly to how you would working for a software company. Jonathan goes over things such as consistently using git to save and host your work, using vi for editing, etc. all while building a variety of features for an iOS app. While I am not a beginner at iOS development, I had some knowledge gaps to fill and I am 100% satisfied with how this course helped in filling those gaps. I am now feeling much more confident moving forward in obtaining that first iOS developer job. Big thank you to Jonathan for this iOS professional course. I'd love to see more content like this in the future.
