The goal of this course is to teach anyone how to build an iOS App from the ground up. The course is very project-based and especially designed for beginners with no programming experience. And, if you have some coding experience, this course will take you from coding hobbyist to an intermediate level, ready to launch a new tech career.
You will first learn the fundamentals of the Swift language by examples:
- Variables & Constants
- Control Flow
- Data Types
- Object, Classes & Struct
- Enum
You will learn the basics of iOS programming with playground demos and challenges. This will give you the solid foundation to start building iPhone Apps.
Next, You will start building simple apps to expand your knowledge and finish with a capstone project: SwiftAgram. In this final 3-hour+ tutorial, you will apply your accumulated skills to build a Instagram-like, multi-views application with more advanced features, like:
- Displaying Contacts in a TableView
- Networking to display web content
- Importing Images from the Photo Library (UIImagePickerView)
- Implementing Facebook User Authentication & Monitoring (Facebook Login SDK)
- Enabling Data Persistance and Synchronization with Firebase as a Service Data Persistance (BaaS)
You will be introduced to Firebase as a Cloud Back End Service to manage your app with data persistence and synchronisation. And, you will get a step-by-step guide of how to enable user authentication with your Facebook account with the Facebook Login SDK.
