The Mobile Development Program introduces the fundamental concepts of mobile applications, providing comprehensive coverage of client-side development. Students will receive the skills and knowledge to build engaging, interactive user experiences on mobile as an iOS developer.

Classroom lecture and hands-on instructions will be provided by full-time industry professionals. Students will gain invaluable knowledge and experience developing with Cocoa Touch, UIKit, Swift, and other fundamental frameworks. Throughout the program, students will complete a series of professional portfolio projects that they can showcase for potential employers when seeking employment.

As the culmination of the program, students will be required to put an app on the App Store and share it with millions of users. This is a student’s chance to demonstrate their expertise and creativity, gain real-world experience, and build their portfolio. Plus, it’s an exciting opportunity to make a difference and attract potential employers or clients.

Course Descriptions

Swift Fundamentals
The Swift Fundamentals course covers the basics of starting to program in the Swift programming language. Students create projects and do assignments. Those projects and assignments will set the groundwork for diving deeper into Swift and other programming languages.
Tables and Persistence
The Tables and Persistence course covers the ability to create a table of information that reacts dynamically for the data presented. This course also covers how to persist data between launches of an app through various current technologies. Using tables and having data that persists lays the groundwork to create real world applications.
Working with the Web
The Working with the Web course addresses the ability to interact with the data created on a device, and the data created on external servers. The course reviews ways to retrieve data from the web and use JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) serialization to convert that data into Swift objects.
Special Topics
The Special Topics course shows students what is anticipated in iOS development. New frameworks and industry standard libraries will be introduced to give the students a competitive edge in the workforce.
Saving Data
The Saving Data course allows students a hands-on learning experience to create, delete, update, and read data from an external API. At the end of the course students will also be given soft skills training.
Prototyping and Project Planning
The Prototyping and Project Planning course gives students a chance to develop a fully functional app that is ready to be published in an app store. Students have the opportunity to build out their own ideas and create something specific to their wants.
Project: Group Capstone
The Group Capstone course is an opportunity for the student to create an app store ready app with a group of students. Working in a team will prepare students for the workforce where they will always be working with other people to complete projects.
