By the end of this course, you'll know how to optimise your app and use the latest iOS features to your advantage, therefore boosting your chances of having your app accepted to the App store and purchased by customers.

About Swift

Swift is a relatively new programming language dedicated to all things Apple (iOS, MacOS etc.). It is considered the successor to C and Objective-C, taking the best elements of both and modernising them for safety and efficiency. It is a general purpose language and is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks. It is used for building apps for all Apple platforms.

Learn Swift TableViews By Building An iOS App
A Foundational iOS Skill

UITableViews are the cornerstone of any iOS app. Virtually every iOS app in the iTunes App Store uses tableviews. In this course, you'll learn how to implement tableviews in Swift by creating a simple iOS app.

A few of the skills you'll learn are:

  • Adding a UITableView to an existing app
  • Supplying data to a tableview
  • Deleting table cells
  • Rearranging table cells
  • Segueing to a different scene
  • Autolayout

Instead of just learning tableviews, you'll create a real iOS app. The app will have a listing of the layers of the atmosphere. It also doesn't start as a tableview. We get to add the tableview after the app has been created.

Everything is done in Swift.

If you've been wanting to learn tableviews or don't yet have this foundational iOS skill, this is the course for you.
