iOS App Development Essential Training

Learn how to build native applications for the iPhone and iPad using the iOS 7 SDK. Simon Allardice shows you how to work with Xcode 5, the most popular framework for developing, debugging, and deploying applications to Apple devices, and Objective-C, the language you’ll use to actually program your app. Apart from the tools and language, you’ll explore design patterns, coding conventions and guidelines, and essential concepts like Model-View-Controller, storyboards, and delegation. Plus, learn what’s possible within the new iOS 7 interface, and get a checklist for successfully submitting your app to the App Store.

Topics include:

• Using Xcode and the iOS Simulator
• Learning Objective-C basics and structure
• Creating objects, variables, properties, and custom classes
• Connecting UI elements to code
• Using delegation
• Using the Xcode debugger
• Creating and customizing table views
• Exploring storyboards
• Introducing blocks
• Saving and loading data
