Anyone can learn programming. One of the best places to start is iOS app development. With the right tools and training, you can build a fully functional app for the iPhone or iPad in just a few hours. No programming experience required! In this course, join Todd Perkins as he teaches the most important concepts in iOS app development in a visual way that people of any background can understand. You can figure out if an iOS learning path is right for you, without a lengthy time commitment. By the end, you’ll have a basic understanding of Xcode, the toolset for developing iOS apps; the building blocks of the Swift development language; and the essentials of good interface design. Plus, see these concepts in action in the final chapter, where you put together a complete real-world app.

Topics include:

  • Installing Xcode
  • Creating an Xcode project
  • How variables work
  • Connecting visual objects to variables
  • Creating a method in Swift
  • Connecting a button to a method
  • Using conditional statements
  • Setting up the user interface (UI)
  • Building a complete iOS app
