Swift for iOS, Part 2 of 2: Creating an Application

Course description

In this course you are going to learn how to take your Swift programming knowledge and apply it to building a real world iOS application. You’ll be taught the basics of navigating the X-Code environment working with Views and Controllers, and many of the nuisances that application developers face through actually building your first iOS mobile application.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course requires some knowledge of using a Mac UI. Anyone with moderate computer end-user experience should be able to take this course. You should have already viewed the course Swift for iOS: Basics before taking this course.
