- 4. Unit 1: Getting Started with App Development Swift Lessons ● Introduction to Swift and Playgrounds ● Constants, Variables and Data Types ● Operators ● Control Flow SDK Lessons ● Xcode ● Building, Running, Debugging and App ● Documentation ● Interface Builder Basics Guided Project ➢ Light is a simple full-screen flashlight app, where the user taps the screen to toggle its color between black and white.
- 5. Unit 2: Introduction to UIKit Swift Lessons ● Strings ● Functions ● Structures ● Classes, Inheritance ● Collections ● Loops SDK Lessons ● Introduction to UIKit ● Displaying Data ● Controls in Action ● Auto Layout and Stack Views Guided Project ➢ Apple Pie is a simple word-guessing game, where the user must guess a word, letter by letter, before all the apples fall off of the apple tree. If there are apples remaining, the user wins—and can eat delicious Apple Pie.
- 6. Unit 3: Navigation and Workflows Swift Lessons ● Optionals ● Type Casting and Inspection ● Guard ● Constant and Variable Scope ● Enumerations SDK Lessons ● Segues and Navigation Controllers ● Tab Bar Controllers ● View Controller Life Cycle ● Building Simple Workflows Guided Project ➢ Quiz is a simple app that guides the user through a personality quiz and displays the results.
- 7. Unit 4: Tables and Persistence Swift Lessons ● Protocols SDK Lessons ● App Life Cycle ● Model View Controller ● Scroll Views ● Table Views ● Intermediate Table Views ● System View Controllers ● Saving Data ● Complex Input Screens Guided Project ➢ List is a task-tracking app that allows the user to add, edit, and delete tasks in a familiar master-detail interface. You can customize the app to keep track of any type of information, such as a card collection or your favorite movies.
- 8. Unit 5: Working with the Web Swift Lessons ● Closures ● Extensions SDK Lessons ● Practical Animation ● Working with the Web: ○ HTTP and URL Session ○ JSON ○ Concurrency Guided Project ➢ The Restaurant app allows the user to browse a customizable menu that fetches information from a web service. You can customize the entire menu with your own dishes, descriptions, prices, and photos that will appear in the app.
- 9. Unit 6: Prototyping and Project Planning ➢ Your final project is an app of your own design, which you'll build following best practices for design, prototyping, and project planning. 6.1 App Personality ● Use the best design principles for an app icon ● Create an efficient launch screen ● Brand and stylize an app ● Understand the Apple human interface guidelines
- 10. Unit 6: Prototyping and Project Planning 6.2 Prototyping for Real People ● Clearly define the problem you want your app to address ● Create a user persona to assist in making design decisions ● Create iterative prototypes that end in a concrete design ● Conduct user interviews to gather feedback on your prototype 6.3 Project Planning ● Pan the classes and methods your app will need to meet a specific feature set ● Plan the classes and methods your app will need based on how the data will be created and stored
