About the iOS Programming Program
Mobile programming is part of a segmented portion of technology that’s filled with innovations constantly evolving at unprecedented rates – even for technology. Such advancement requires precision-based specialty training in either iOS or Android programming languages.
The iOS Programming Specialized Certificate was developed by an advisory board of successful industry leaders with the goal to offer students familiar with programming the opportunity to apply such knowledge to the area of mobile application development.
Students will gain new skills necessary to program applications that run natively on mobile devices specific to iOS for Apple based technology such as iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
Coursework is designed to help professionals master SQLite Database Access, Core Data, iCloud, Advanced Networking tools and functions within iOS app development. Advanced learning opportunities will demonstrate how the Swift programming language can call into existing Objective-C code, the original language used for writing iOS apps, as well as Xcode IDE, the center of Apple development, which will teach students how to build, design, code, debug and troubleshoot iOS applications.
