iPhone and iPad Apps Creation for Beginners

Overview

Would you love to be able to get an understanding of how to program your own iPhone or iPad? You're not a programmer, you don't 'eat code' for breakfast but you do know your way around a computer.

This course is a great way to begin learning how you can build your own app from scratch!

Using Apple's Xcode software, you will be taken step by step through what you need to know in order to create five fully functioning apps that look great and even interface with web content. This course is a great introduction to the newest technologies enabling anyone to build their very own app.

Course content

Xcode: navigators, editors, inspectors, iOS simulator
iOS software development kit
Storyboard: views, controls, outlets, actions, segues, auto layout including stack views
Cocoa Touch (Swift): struct, class, method, delegate, enumerations, protocols
Constants, variables, methods, optionals, branching, arrays, dictionaries, loops

Additional notes

Course Presenter - Audrey Tam
From humble beginnings - a PhD in Maths at Berkeley! Audrey Tam went on to work at IBM's development lab in Silicon Valley. Following her heart to Melbourse, she worked 25 years as a computer science lecturer at VUT and (from 2002) RMIT University.

In that time, Audrey taught many languages; Pascal, C/C++, Java, Java web services, web app development in php and mysql, user interface design and iOS programming. After retiring in 2012, she is loving her greatest challenge yet - teaching iPhone/iPad programming to an audience of beginners.

Audrey also contributes to raywenderlich.com, writing tutorials and book chapters on advanced topics, as well as recording video courses on concurrency and networking. Audrey has been a presenter at RWDevCon in 2016 and 2017, and presented a workshop on CoreML and Vision in 2018.
