iOS 8 has brought upon many new libraries to develop with, and even a new language - Swift! No longer to iOS developers need to deal with the bulky syntax of Objective-C. Swift is fast, clean, and built for the future.
This introduction course takes you through the process of making your first few iOS 8 apps in Xcode 6 with the Swift language. We'll show you how to download Xcode, set up and customize views graphically, and take you through the basics of Swift. By the end you will have built a simple adventure game called Age of Laika.
If you want to dive deeper, our Complete iOS 8 Course with Swift expands upon this mini course with over 300 video lectures that take you through the process of creating complete apps such as an Instagram Clone, a Tinder clone, and an app that takes advantage of HealthKit (plus many more).
Eliot regularly teaches iOS development classes and workshops at General Assembly and guest lectures for companies and development boot camps around NYC. He also taught the inaugural class for Coalition for Queens which focused on increasing diversity in iOS development. He also coaches students in a one-on-one environment with a focus on transitioning to full time development. Eliot cofounded and organizes the iOS Office Hours meetup NYC.
In his free time he works as a contractor for startups focusing on agile development.
