What You'll Learn

Module 1: Introduction to iOS Development

• Overview of iOS Ecosystem
  • Understand the structure of iOS development, including iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Apple TVs. Learn about the role of the App Store, iOS SDK, and Cocoa Touch.
• Setting up Xcode and Swift Project (SwiftUI)
  • Introduction to Xcode, Apple's integrated development environment (IDE) for building iOS apps. Learn how to create and set up your first SwiftUI project in Xcode.
• Basic Concepts of Programming
  • Understand the fundamental programming concepts that form the backbone of iOS development: variables, data types, control flow (loops, conditionals), and logic operations.

Module 2: Swift Programming Language

• Introduction to Swift Syntax
  • Learn Swift syntax, focusing on constants, variables, and basic structures like arrays and dictionaries.
• Data Types and Operators
  • Deep dive into Swift's built-in data types, such as Int, String, Double, Bool, and the operators used for arithmetic, comparison, and logical operations.
• Functions and Closures
  • Master how to create functions in Swift and understand how closures (self-contained blocks of functionality) work.
• Object-Oriented Programming Concepts
  • Understand object-oriented programming (OOP) principles in Swift: classes, objects, inheritance, and protocols.

Module 3: UI Design Basics

• Introduction to Interface Builder
  • Learn how to use Interface Builder in Xcode to visually design iOS applications and build user interfaces using drag-and-drop components.
• SwiftUI Framework Basics
  • An overview of SwiftUI, Apple's modern UI framework for declarative design. Learn how SwiftUI simplifies the creation of responsive and dynamic user interfaces.
• Designing User Interfaces with SwiftUI
  • Learn how to create views (buttons, labels, text fields) using SwiftUI and customize the UI layout using Stacks and Modifers to make the application visually appealing.

Module 4: View Controllers

• Understanding View Controllers
  • Learn the role of view controllers in an iOS app, including how they manage the app's views and handle the interactions between the app’s UI and the underlying data.
• Navigation Controllers
  • Understand the concept of navigation controllers in iOS, enabling efficient transitions between views and providing a navigation stack for a seamless user experience.
• Handling User Input with Text Fields and Buttons
  • Learn how to handle user input via text fields (to capture data from users) and buttons (to trigger actions), and how to implement functionality to respond to these inputs.
