Course 2 of 4 in the iOS App Development with Swift Specialization

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Welcome to iOS App Development Basics

WEEK 2
Further Introduction to Xcode
In this unit we will describe basic functions of XCode and other tools. Within a guided tutorial process, create a simple app from beginning through to compilation that runs on a device.

WEEK 3
UIKit and the Interface Builder
Here we dive into layouts and some user interface elements.

WEEK 4
Advanced UI Concepts
Here we begin to really add elegance to our UI

WEEK 5
Final Peer Assignment - App Functionality
At this point we have written the basic user interface for our image filtering app. In this assignment you will implement remaining functionality, and then extend and refine the UI. For bonus marks you can try implementing a more advanced filter selection UI using the UICollectionView API.

Me llamo Elisa Viso y una de mis pasiones es la de programar y enseñar a programar. El lenguaje Java es uno de los que más me ha gustado en mis 45 años que llevo programando. Si bien te podrá parecer un poco complicado empezar a programar en Java, una vez que cubras los conceptos básicos verás qué rápido se avanza. Java, como todos los lenguajes de programación bien hechos, te dejan hacer cualquier cosa (algunas de ellas con más trabajo que en otros lenguajes y otras casi directamente de cómo piensas la solución al problema).

But you might need to refresh your memory when it comes to the previous courses in the program. For that reason, each module in this course will take you through a brief recap of relevant content from previous courses in the program. And don't worry, there will be links too so you can review content in more detail if necessary. In this way, you will be guided through the process of building the Little Lemon app which allows you to show off your new development skills.

Data visualization is a critical skill for anyone that routinely using quantitative data in his or her work - which is to say that data visualization is a tool that almost every worker needs today. One of the critical tools for data visualization today is the R statistical programming language. Especially in conjunction with the tidyverse software packages, R has become an extremely powerful and flexible platform for making figures, tables, and reproducible reports. However, R can be intimidating for first time users, and there are so many resources online that it can be difficult to sort through without guidance.
