AutoLayout (Udacity)

Offered by Udacity,
AutoLayout (Udacity)

Using Constraint-Based Design. With this course, you will learn about AutoLayout and how to use stack views and constraints to create pixel-perfect UIs. Also, you will take a deep dive and learn about some of the most commonly misunderstood properties affecting layout like distribution, alignment, content hugging, and compression resistance.

Then, you will put all of this knowledge to use and start creating functional interfaces with multiple stack views and UI elements. In fact, you will recreate an interface from a very well known app. And, by the end of this course, you will be ready to create beautiful interfaces from scratch.
For many developers, AutoLayout can be a curse: a complex system with unpredictable behavior that you can't run away from.
This course will remove the veil of mystery that shrouds AutoLayout.
You will be able to create any UI for any device.
Even better, you will actually understand what's going on!

What you will learn

Welcome to AutoLayout!
Learn all the possible ways of laying out a view.
Determine how views should adapt when the available screen size changes.
Explore AutoLayout and constraints — the premiere tools for building adaptive views.

Using AutoLayout
Survey various methods for implementing AutoLayout.
Use stack views to intuitively construct interfaces without getting muddled in the details.

View Properties
Investigate the properties which control how elements are sized using AutoLayout.
Examine the nuances of compression resistance and content hugging.

StackViews 101
Build and tweak layouts while exploring all the properties of stack views.
Modify axes, spacing, alignments, and distributions to arrange contained subviews.

Positioning StackViews
Generate and configure constraints using Interface Builder and storyboards.
Analyze the interplay between stack views and different UI elements and devices.

Horizontal Layouts
Troubleshoot common problems affecting horizontal stack views and elements with similar view properties.
Compose interfaces that embed stack views within stack views.

Vertical Layouts
Use stack views to experiment with vertical layouts.
Recreate an interface from a very well known app!

Prerequisites and requirements
You will need to be familiar with UIKit and Storyboards.

Computer Science

Build on your knowledge of HCI’s core principles by learning to design interfaces in the real world. Begin with the ethics of human subjects research, then learn critical methods for requirements gathering and brainstorming design alternatives. In this course, you’ll begin by learning the design life cycle. This is the process by which we investigate user needs, brainstorm potential designs, create prototypes, and evaluate those prototypes. This life cycle provides the structure for the third and fourth courses in this professional certificate.

Business

Platforms changed the way we live and we do business. This module of the “Platform Thinking” series aims to help innovators in designing and building platforms. At first sight, it may seem that platforms "simply" connect different kinds of users, as Airbnb links travelers and hosts or as Uber links drivers and riders. Well, this is true: platforms link different kinds of users. Nevertheless, this is just the enabling factor to have a platform, definitely not enough to describe the wide range of activities they actually do.
