This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. SwiftUI creates user interfaces for any Apple platform and helps create beautiful and dynamic apps quickly. SwiftUI helps build functional apps across all Apple platforms with surprisingly little code. The course begins with a brief introduction to the text, modifiers, stacks, state variables, and animations and then advances to cover ForEach views, sheets, pickers, sliders, toggle switches, scroll views, buttons, etc. You will move on to developing the main app and learn how to create an app icon based on Pexels Figma. Then, you will learn to disassemble an SVG image and convert it to PNG using Pexel Figma and Shape and Path to create a speech bubble and add text. You will create a color palette to support light and dark modes and develop a model of a quote-based app on a free quote API, part of the MVVM (Model, view model, View design pattern). When tapped, you will test the emoji to generate a new quote and copy the image to the clipboard with a long press. This course will teach you to create image grids using an iPad/iPhone and create a share sheet to customize the images/quotes; change text color/size or image size, share or save it, and test the app’s functionality on a simulator. Upon completion, you can develop an Emoji Quote app using SwiftUI/iOS 16. The course aims for succinct yet fairly comprehensive SwiftUI/iOS 16 development. This course caters to individuals wishing to acquire application development skills using SwiftUI/iOS 16 with beginner to advanced programming skillsets; however, more than basic to intermediate programming skills are desirable at least to make the most of the course. Anyone wishing to learn programming on iOS 16 using SwiftUI and individuals wanting to learn a quick course on what can be developed using SwiftUI would benefit from this course.
