Contents and Overview

This training program includes 6 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, iOS Programming in 7 Days, covers iOS development career in one week! Build and publish a complete iOS app from scratch with this practical course designed for beginners. Explore the user interface and learn how to navigate around. Get hands-on experience with Swift and learn some of its basics. Add more feature to your app and improve the user interface. Learn how to add app icon and the launch screens and then prepare the app for the app store.

The second course, Working with Camera and Images in iOS Apps, covers working with images and the camera in iOS Apps. Import images and properly lay them out in your app storyboard files. Access hardware on iOS devices to allow users to take images and save them. This app allows a user to take an image of something, give it a proper name, and then use this as a database to reference the collection.

The third course, Audio on iOS, covers working with audio and the microphone in iOS apps. The two fundamental skills that you will master in this course are playing and recording audio. Start by playing an audio file. Whether you want background music in a game or need to play podcast files, youll learn how to work with the audio frameworks Apple has developed. Then well move on to recording audio with built-in microphones in iOS devices. Youll end the course by taking your learning and practically applying it to create a Soundboard app that connects to a Core Data database. Through this, a user can record a sound, give it a name, and be able to play the sound with the touch of a button.

The fourth course,Working with Maps and Locations in iOS Apps, covers how to use maps in your iOS apps. Moreover, Apple has made this very easy for us to use. We can get a user's exact location in latitude and longitude and show things on a map wherever we want. To learn this new skill, we will be creating a Pokmon Go clone. Create a simplified version of this to teach you how to work with maps in iOS and also how to use locations.

The fifth course,Creating a Backend for iOS Firebase, covers delving into the world of advanced Selenium automation. We'll begin first by learning about CocoaPods. CocoaPods allow us to bring other people's code into our project. We will need this in order to get Firebase code into our project. Then we will start the course project: creating a simple version of SnapChat. Doing this will allow us to learn the ins and outs of Firebase. After installing Firebase, you'll move on to learn how to build our social network one step at a time. First, you'll master user account creation and user authentication. Then you'll create snaps to send to other users. Throughout all this, you'll learn about Firebase database, storage, and authentication system.

The sixth course, Integrating Twitter and Facebook into Your iOS Apps, covers how to integrate Twitter and Facebook APIs into iOS apps. We start with Twitter and discuss how to set up your application with Twitter's API. Then we move on o authenticating users with Twitter so that you can access user data. We'll then create an app called Tweetgram, where we download images from a user's Twitter feed. Finally, you'll explore the Facebook API. Step by step, you'll install it and integrate it into your project. You'll then explore how to get data from the Facebook API.

By the end of the course, youll learn to build amazing iOS 11 applications with Swift 4 by working with images, camera, audio, maps and much more in iOS Apps. Go from a beginner with an idea to submitting a functional app to the App Store!

• Nick Walter is an iOS developer who has been focused on mobile app design and creation for over 5 years. His involvement in the iOS community started off with a bang, and in 2013 he was one of the 25 students worldwide to be invited to Apple's Cocoa Camp. Within the community, he is also co-president of an Apple developer group called Cocoa Heads. He always wanted to transform brand-new ideas into reality, but growing up in a small town he had limited access to the required programming resources. This led to his early interest in online education. After experimenting with various companies, learning styles, and teaching processes, he adopted the best strategies and applied them while creating his courses. Since the announcement of the new Swift programming language by Apple, he has devoted himself to Apple's documentation and any online resource that was available. Prior to teaching the internet's first course on Swift, he created five iOS apps from scratch that are currently live in the App Store and are being used by thousands of users worldwide.
