introd​uction

The iOS Development with Swift course offers an excellent theory and practical foundation for developing competence in design, development and deployment of iOS mobile applications for iPad and iPhone. The course based on Apple authorised course materials and delivered by Apple certified trainers, builds on a students existing programming experience to enable development of iOS apps from scratch and build the mindset of an app developer.

This hands-on course teaches you the tools,interface elements, and design patterns you need to build apps for iPhone and iPad. It includes detailed explanations of iOS technologies, hands-on use of Apple’s development tools, and coding exercises in Swift that use common iOS frameworks

The student will:

• learn how to design, develop build native apps using the iOS SDK.
• learn how to use Xcode and the Simulator.
•  learn how to deploy developed apps to the App Store

The program is for:

• Students with programming experience
• Software developers
• Software architects
• Technology consultants

According to SiliconRepublic.com (Jan 2108) the app industry is it's own economy and it is booming, many businesses are feeling pressure to provide a storefront app, which has huge potential for iOS developers and an incentive for software developers to focus on this skill.
