Programming for Non-Programmers: iOS 15 and Swift 5

Course details

Do you want to develop native iOS applications, but aren’t sure where to start? This course gives you a chance to try it out with a simple iOS application that you can create in a single day. Instructor Todd Perkins uses visual representations of conceptual aspects of coding to make the content relatable and digestible. Todd shows you how to set up your coding environment, work with variables, understanding and using methods and conditional statements, and much more. Plus, he goes over best practices for finishing your application. At the end of the course, you will have the skills to create a simple iOS app on your own.
