WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

We’ll start you off by teaching you programming fundamentals through a series of challenging practice problems. Then we’ll help you gain an in-
depth understanding of object-oriented programming. Once you have a strong grasp of these important topics, you will move on to developing
apps. At the completion of the course, you will have developed a strong skill set with a focus on:

• OS architecture
• Computer Science fundamentals
• Fundamentals of UI/UX design on iOS (animation, user interaction, buttons, tabs, maps, etc.)
• Data: Storing data in the cloud using AWS as well as on the mobile device using SQLite.
• Interacting with web services and APIs such as social networks and review sites
• creating your own web services using AWS
• Using iOS device features like camera and GPS
• Relatively advanced topics such as security, app performance, asynchronous programming, design patterns, and testing
