What you'll learn
This Play by Play helps developers new to iOS and Swift get up and running developing mobile apps. John Papa and Brian Clark provide helpful comparisons for how Swift's unique features relate to other popular frameworks and languages. They'll build an application that allows users to list their favorite movies and search the Open Movie Database to add more favorites to their lists. This app's functionality is a great place to start if you're new to iOS and Swift. You'll learn a little of everything, from the basics of views and layouts, how to work with touch events, add segues between views, and integrate with external data and HTTP. By the end of this course, you'll be ready to expand upon this sample application as well as get started building your own apps for iOS in Swift.
