A beginner's guide to making iPhone apps
A lot of people think app development is some unattainable, alien skill accessible only to those big-brained, glasses-wearing creatures we rudely call “nerds.” But that’s simply not true.
Anyone can make an iPhone app, and everyone should make an iPhone app. Though it may seem daunting, apps are not difficult to make when you have the right instruction, like the sort you’ll get from the aptly titled online course How To Make a Freaking iPhone App. This fun, easily digestible course is available for 85% off, so you should probably get on that.
This course is tailor-made for beginners. If that describes you, then you too can develop introductory skills for coding on iOS 11, Apple’s most recent mobile software release.
The program packs 132 lectures and 16.5 hours of content into its course load, but keeps things light and engaging with its project-based lessons. You’ll create an Emoji Dictionary to learn about TableViews, you’ll build a simple app that catalogs collections to understand how to work with the camera, you’ll make a stripped-down version of Snapchat to get a foundation in Firebase, and you’ll even replicate Pokémon GO to get a crash-course in maps. Once you’ve graduated, you’ll have all the mental tools you’ll need to bring your original iOS ideas to life.
How to Make a Freaking iPhone App is available here for $29 after a limited-time reduction from its usual $200 cost.
Carlos is a New York-based ecommerce content writer ready to tell you what to buy. He has previously written for Adventure Publishing Group with toy and movie reviews as well as Anime News Network on anime interest articles because liking anime is the least nerdy thing about him. When not reviewing products, he's probably doing sociological analyses on pop culture that no one asked for. He has been told on several occasions that he does a really good Mickey Mouse impression.
