TOP REVIEWS FROM IOS APP DEVELOPMENT BASICS

by KFJun 17, 2016

Very interesting course for development, with better clarification and new updates on Apple software and functionalities.

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 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 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.
