The idea for a great app is easy to have – turning it into something that actually runs on an iPhone, looks polished, and survives App Store review is where most beginners get stuck. This course closes that gap by taking you from core programming logic straight into Swift and the iOS development environment, using Xcode the way working iOS developers actually use it.

You will build a real understanding of how an iOS app is structured and how it behaves throughout its lifecycle, design interfaces users actually enjoy using, and pick up the surrounding skills – from basic web services to information security and app-store deployment – that separate a working prototype from a shippable product.

Who Should Attend?

• Web developers who want to move into mobile app development.
• Beginners in Swift and the Xcode/iOS development environment.
• Anyone who wants a solid, practical understanding of how to build and ship mobile applications.

What You Will Be Able to Do

On Building the App:

• Understand how iOS applications work, their lifecycle, and their configuration.
• Program in Swift and design attractive, functional user interfaces using Apple’s development models and layouts.
• Apply cross-platform mobile development skills using frameworks such as Flutter, PhoneGap, and Ionic.

On Shipping and Supporting It:

• Secure mobile applications and user data against breaches.
• Build applications that connect smoothly between the web and mobile devices.
• Deploy, launch, and market an application on the App Store, and provide ongoing technical support and quality assurance.

Beyond the Code:

• Build habits of continuous learning to keep pace with fast-moving mobile technology.
• Work effectively as part of a development team, and market your new skills toward real job opportunities.
