Course Overview
Hi everyone, my name is Corissa Jesseman, and welcome to my course, macOS Development Fundamentals. I'm an independent macOS and iOS software developer. In the past few years, macOS has experienced a surge in popularity. In this course, we're going to learn how to build a macOS application from start to finish. Some of the major topics we will cover include designing the windows and view controllers, laying out the controls using Auto Layout, storing data using Core Data, working with table and collection views, and releasing the app to the Apple App Store. By the end of this course, you will know how to build a fully-functional macOS app and be ready to develop your own app. Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with Swift. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn macOS with the macOS Development Fundamentals course at Pluralsight.
