TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO IOS MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

by EDFeb 5, 2023

A few example projects and use-cases would've been nice. Otherwise a good course for absolute beginners in mobile development!

by RSNov 20, 2022

I liked videos. Way things were explained was new to me although I have attended University and this experience wasn't new. Big thumbs up for professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
