Or you can scroll down to the very bottom of this page, and find my iOS 9 class in More From Nick Walter.

This is the class I wish I had when I was trying to learn iOS development. I have a unique perspective to teach this class because I've been the newb that couldn't understand tutorials or blog posts. No prior programming experience is required.

I will walk you through everything you need to start making apps. Getting Xcode (the program we use to make apps) setup and on your machine, making a developer account with Apple, and running the iPhone and iPad simulator on your mac.

I firmly believe that the best way to learn is by doing. So we'll make a series of 8 killer apps, each app going into depth on teaching the most important iOS app development skills. Here is an overview of the apps we'll be making:

Apps that...
  • ...record audio with the microphone
  • ...use the front and rear cameras on iOS devices
  • ...leverage game principles (FLAPPY BIRD clone)
  • ...connect with Twitter
  • ...use GPS information
  • ...connect with PARSE to make a social network
  • ...use Bluetooth
  • ...and more

Once each of these apps are built, I'll teach you everything you need to know to submit these apps to the App Store. We'll also cover how to make money in iOS, and how you can continue to stay in the loop as an iOS developer and keep up with the latest and greatest. These topics could be a whole class in and of itself!

What makes me the right teacher?

  • I have 9 iOS apps in the App Store which total over 300,000+ downloads
  • I teach more than 17,000 other students in my conglomerate of highly rated Udemy courses
  • I use an energetic and engaging course style that involves students. I guess you could say, I'm far from a robot… and it should be entertaining :)
  • I have been doing iOS development for 4+ years
  • When I was first learning iOS development, I was often confused by wordy blog posts and tutorials. I'll never talk over your head.
  • I created the first Udemy Swift course and also teach the highly rated “Apple Watch - Go From Newbie to Pro by Building 15 Apps" course.
Who is this class for?
  • People who want to make apps. I will not be teaching wordy or complicated computer science philosophies. I will be teaching you how to make apps that you can play with, share with friends & family, and offer to the world!
  • Beginners. You don't need any programming experience to take this class. I have been the absolute beginner before and I want to help you.
  • Those programmers who are new to iOS 8 or Swift. Dive in with your prior experience and move more quickly, on to become an impressive iOS developer.
  • Entrepreneurs who have an idea for an app. Don't pay somebody thousands to build your app. Do it yourself. Having the ability to create something you can think of is extremely powerful.
  • Career development professionals who want to earn money professionally via contract work, consulting, full-time employment, and so forth

    Very good course. Got well into development. Hits the surface on every spot but also goes deep enough on various topics to build production ready apps. The course helps to accomplish the technical tasks of app development. UI and UX basics are not taught and must be learned in other courses. To get first impressions on how to build apps , this is the best place to start.

    Before taking this course, I literally knew nothing about programming. But I had an idea for an app and wanted to take on the challenge of learning the language and making the app myself. This course makes learning Xcode, swift, and all the functionality approachable and understandable, with clear and useful examples. 6 months (and a few hundred hours of practice) after enrolling, I got the approval from Apple for my first app. It's cliche, but it's true, I could not have gotten this far without Nick and his course. Great class

    Have you ever wished to have a neighbour or a friend that would know how to create apps and could teach you right away? Nick is this guy! 2 month ago I knew nothing about how it all works. Programming, xCode, Apple developper account, distribution,… Today I have my first app in the app store!!! Accepted by Apple on first submission! ( https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/lucky-draw-tool-draw-numbers/id1063332030?mt=8 ) Yes Nick! I did celebrate and even did some dynamic shuffling dancing alone in my home when I received Apple’s email! Girls and Guys, Take this course! It is clear, comprehensive, engaging and if creating apps is like going on a journey into space, Nick brings you way up next to the moon. After that, you will still have to keep on developing your knowledge (programming, frameworks, design…) in multiple aspect but things will seem clearer and you will be able to target the stars! Thanks Nick.

    This class is great because the instructor understands the pain points of learning how to use Xcode, the Storyboard, iOS Simulator, Core Data and Swift. I really like the fact that the instructor took his time to explain concepts in a very detailed way. It was great to see him progress from a sketch of screens to the Storyboard to creating a View Controller to linking IBOutlets and actions to seeing things work in the iOS Simulator. The lecture on submitting your app to the Apple Store is invaluable. It would be helpful if you had a lecture on Core Data and how to use relationships between entities. It would also be great if the instructor would create an intermediate or advanced class that includes building apps. Thank you!!! Marie E. Patterson
