Description

This course is designed for iOS developers who only know Swift. In order to get a job as an iOS developer you need to know the basics of Objective-C. Also there are still a ton of libraries and tutorials all written in Objective-C.

This is the BEST Objective-C course out there!

HOW THIS COURSE WORKS

You will watch video lectures that teach you the principles.
You then complete exercises to help you retain what you learn
You have access to free live help in the chatroom
You have access to the community forums so you can find answers to questions
You will get access to all source code and files needed to complete the course

There is 8.5 hours of video content for you to complete. You will spend an additional 15-20 hours working on exercises to help you retain the knowledge.

HOW ARE MY COURSES DIFFERENT?

All of my courses are screencasts Youtube style - SUPER FUN
I ALWAYS teach you the underlying principle (and not just do X,Y,Z)
I actively personally help my students in their career goals
I have a HUGE free chatroom where you can get help (4500+ active members)
I have online forums where you can post code, projects, and connect with other developers
