Curriculum
Foundation One Third Of Your Apprenticeship
Start by setting up your development environment using Xcode 6, Git, and GitHub. GitHub will serve as an online portfolio of your coursework. Next, explore fundamental programming topics such as variables, loops, arrays, and objects, using both Objective-C and Swift.
Quickly move from concepts into building real apps. Complete a simple calculator and browser app, before launching into your own working replica of Instagram. Here you will explore touch interfaces, gestures, and animations, and learn to customize your app to work differently on the iPhone and iPad. Finally, learn about Test Driven Development, debugging, and launching your app.
Build & Ship Two Thirds Of Your Apprenticeship
In the second phase, you'll tackle open-ended projects with more autonomy, complemented by coaching from your mentor. You'll choose from a menu of apps to build, each one designed to reinforce and build upon your iOS developer skills. These projects are designed to be open-ended, and teach you to work with APIs, explore game dynamics, add iCloud integration, and work with mobile back-ends. Get expert help from your mentor through pair programming, code reviews, and debugging.
Once you have designed, tested, and shipped your three apps, you'll advance to the capstone project. As your capstone, take your own app idea and bring it to life by designing and submitting it to the app store.
