Why to follow this course?

I think that it's very difficult for a developer to be noticed on the AppStore with more than 1 million of Apps BUT with ios 8 Apple has given to developers a real opportunity to customize devices.

Apple has introduced new amazing features like extensions.

There are different types of extensions:

• shared extensions for posting to a website
• action extensions for manipulating content within the context of an other App
• custom keyboards to allow users to have custom keyboards in all Apps
• photo editing extensions for manipulating photo or video within the Photo App
• storage provider extensions for choosing a document from documents the current App can access
• Widgets : we will focus on this type of extension. A Widget lets you extend functionality of your App and make it available directly from Notification Center without unlocking the device.

I think that developing a Widget you will have the chance to be on millions of devices. So don't miss this unrepeatable opportunity.
