iOS 11 Fundamentals

by Simon Allardice

Building for iOS is an incredibly valuable skill for any developer. In this course, you'll use Xcode and Swift to make iOS apps with adaptive user interfaces that work on multiple devices, explore iOS app architecture, and more.

What you'll learn

Developing for iOS is a valuable and in-demand skill, but if you haven't developed in the Apple world before, it can be surprisingly different. In this course, iOS 11 Fundamentals, you'll quickly get up and running using Xcode 9 and Swift 4 to build great iOS apps and tap into the latest features in iOS 11. First, you'll see the tools and learn how to create iOS apps with adaptive user interfaces that work on multiple devices (including iPhone X). Then, you'll learn how to manage iOS projects and define the building blocks of your own iOS applications. Finally, you'll explore working with data-driven controls and understand navigation options. By the end of the course, you'll know current best practices, iOS architecture, and the most important ideas you need to feel comfortable bringing your developer skills into the iOS and Apple developer world.
