TOP REVIEWS FROM IOS APP DEVELOPMENT BASICS
by LOct 12, 2016
Better than the previous course in terms of structure and content, still think more practice exercises for each week would be beneficial beyond just copying the video.
by MWMay 10, 2016
Excellent course but allow ample time for the assignment as it is quite challenging, or at least it was for me. I am looking forward to doing the next module.
by ACJul 6, 2016
This course is the very basics of interface building in iOS, requires lots of self-study as the lectures do not dig deep enough and prior knowledge of Swift.
by NHNov 4, 2016
Thank you for your course. After this course I handled more knowledge about UI in Xcode and interactive between element UI. Best regard.
by TLDec 6, 2015
I enjoyed how concise the videos were, there was a lot of information per unit of time, and it was challenging, but not too much so.
by KEFeb 4, 2017
Very nice introduction course to iOS Development. Starting from basics and going further in more details. Learned alot! Thanks!
by GSDec 5, 2015
Pretty exciting. I found several improvements compared to course 1. Jack or Parham should take part in discussions I guess.
by KFJun 17, 2016
Very interesting course for development, with better clarification and new updates on Apple software and functionalities.
by MBJan 12, 2016
It really did help me to understand everything. I did not give 5 stars because the sound of some videos is bad
by SRJun 21, 2017
Great transition from module 1, the final project is demanding and being able to solve it is very gratifying.
by NLJan 16, 2017
The optional part of the assignment could use more support as it requires a lot of new concepts to do right.
by SRMar 14, 2016
Quizes could have better questions, it seems they don't always test what was taught in the week.
by MIFeb 23, 2017
