In this course—completely revised for iOS 9—Todd Perkins bundles the most important concepts in iOS, explaining the development process in a visual way that people of any background can understand. No programming experience required! At the end of the course, you’ll have a basic understanding of Xcode, the toolset for developing iOS apps; the building blocks of the Swift development language, including variables, functions, and conditional statements; and the essentials of good interface design. You can also figure out if an iOS learning path is right for you, without a lengthy time commitment.
