iOS Foundations

SwiftUI

Continue your app journey right where the 14 Day Beginner Challenge leaves off inside our iOS Foundations course. 

This course takes you through building 4 apps of increasing difficulty and you'll learn new skills with each. 

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build multi-screened, data powered apps. 

That means you’ll know how to confidently build apps that fetch data from a source, like an API, a data feed or your own file, and display that information to the user (Apps like weather apps, stats apps, information apps etc.)

Learning Outcomes:

  • Build 4 Different Apps

    You'll have a solid foundation in app development through building 4 apps with me step by step. Each app builds upon the previous and teaches new techniques and skills.

  • Work With Data

    You'll know how to work with the JSON data format to fetch data from online data feeds, APIs and local data files.

  • Swift Programming

    You'll be able to read and write Swift code for building user interfaces and coding the logic for your app. (Even if you've never coded before)

  • Xcode

    You'll know how to navigate and use official Apple tools such Xcode for iOS app development.

  • SwiftUI User Interfaces

    You'll be able to use the latest SwiftUI framework to build next generation user interfaces.
