Detailed Class Offerings
- ITP 137 – Intro to iOS App Development (with Swift)
- Class taught using the Swift language, not the old, difficult Objective-C.
- Objective C is similar to C++., while Swift is a beginner-friendly, easy-to-learn language.
- NO BOOK TO BUY
- NO NEED TO OWN A MAC — you may use a Mac virtual machine with any service, such as MacinCloud.com (from $1/hour on-demand to $30/month). With no book to buy, the only cost (other than tuition) is access to a Mac virtual machine. If you have a Mac, then there’s no additional cost whatsoever.
