Course 2 of 4 in the Specialization iOS App Development with Swift

iOS App Development Basics, the second course in the iOS App Development with Swift specialization, expands your programming skills and applies them to authentic app development projects. The topics covered in this course include Xcode basics, Core iOS and Cocoa Touch frameworks, simple user interface creation, MVC Architecture and much more. With a focus on using Apple’s components to access sensors like camera, microphone and GPS, by the end of this course you will be able to create a basic App according to specified parameters and guidelines. Currently this course is taught using Swift 2. The team is aware of the release of Swift 3 and will be making edits to the course in time. Please be aware that at this time the instruction is entirely with Swift 2.

Further Introduction to XCode

In this unit we will describe basic functions of XCode and other tools. Within a guided tutorial process, create a simple app from beginning through to compilation that runs on a device.

Hello.

As we're getting to the end part of course one and we're beginning course two and

the remaining part of this specialization.

I wanted to provide some commentary about where we are,

what direction we're going to go and some changes we're going to make along the way.

Now, our goal with course one w as always an informal way to understand Swift,

get to know X code, and be able to have fun in playgrounds.

And it's informal mechanism was mainly meant to

introduce everyone to the environment and the language that we'll be using.

But this was just set up.

The main objective that we have for

this specialization as a whole is to build a mobile app and build an iPhone.

So, now that we know Swift, we've essentially played a bit with Swift,

although I don't think anyone is necessarily an expert at this point.

And now that we know how to use X code.

Now is really the important part,

the specialization, which is starting in course two.

How do you build your own iPhone app?

And we're going to begin with something very simple, something you just has

a single button that you can import an image, maybe do a simple process on it.

And over every module in course two, things will become more and more advanced.

We'll start by looking at how do you create different UI layout.

How do you manage different things and place them in different places?

How do you, for example, create a different view or

different UI element and link it to your code?

So all things that you need to build your own application.

And this course two is now where we get very serious to the point and

we start combining some of the basic things we learned into

an actual iPhone app which is now starting in course two.

Now I do wanna comment,

there have been a few issues with recordings being made before.

Comments about the audio quality, the video quality and

some of the jokes we've made perhaps.

But those should now be all addressed.

Now, most people hopefully will be happy with the quality they see.

There still will be some feedback and some comments I'm sure will be coming our way,

which we always welcome that.

But we hope you like the new quality of videos and audio and

every other detail about this second course.

And as always we really welcome your feedback, your enthusiasm.

If you have anything you wanna tell us or any advice,

suggestions, please feel free to do so.

So let's get started with course two.
