Course Syllabus

Module 1: Intro to Swift & Xcode

Get familiar with the Xcode environment on macOS. Learn the fundamentals of the Swift programming language, including optionals, closures, structs, classes, and protocols.

Module 2: Building User Interfaces

Master Apple's modern declarative UI framework, SwiftUI. Learn how to build responsive layouts, handle user interactions, manage view state, and understand the basics of UIKit for legacy codebases.
