Intermediate Swift 4 for iOS 11

If you're familiar with the Swift Programming Language, and want to take your game to the next level, then this class is for you! 

This four-day intensive course is for programmers who know the fundamentals of the Swift Programming Language and want to take full advantage of the language and its patterns. Your instructor will be Daniel Steinberg, author of A Swift Kickstart.

This class will be held at the Radisson Seattle Airport on October 23-26, 2017. Register today!

 

Day One: 

Monday, October 23

We begin with the three programming paradigms of Swift: Object-Oriented Programming, Protocol-Oriented Programming, and Functional Programming and see how they are used separately and together in Swift. We review language features and experiment with how they are combined.
 

Day Two:

Tuesday, October 24

We dig deeper into Functional Programming. On the first day we used map and flatMap but on day two we create our own. We further explore higher order functions and immutability and introduce some of the design patterns specific to this style of programming.

Day Three:

Wednesday, October 25

We apply what we’ve learned in the first two days to a single view iOS app. We see that using a different language changes many of the choices we make. We will take particular advantage of protocols and closures and refine an MVC design to an MVVM design that ends up being somewhat reactive.

Day Four:

Thursday, October 26

We create a multiple scene, table based application the lessons from the previous days. By now, passing behavior around will be second nature and you’ll find yourself thinking in Swift. This final example uses a RESTful API, network calls, and JSON and we’ll drive some of it with Test Driven Development.

 

You’ll need a Mac running the latest publicly shipping version of Xcode 9. The course will use playgrounds on the first two days and projects on the final two days. The course will be taught using Swift 4 and iOS 11.
