ITCS 2520 - Introduction to Apple iOS Development

Credit Hours: 3.00

Prerequisites: ITCS 1140  or ITCS 1950  

ITCS 2520 provides students with practical hands‑on mobile application development on the Apple iOS mobile platform. Topics include XCode and Interface Builder, outlets and actions, object oriented programming (classes, properties, functions), data types, Boolean logic, flow control, dictionaries, variables, arrays and loops, Model View Controller design pattern, and an overview of the Swift programming language and playground. Students implement all programs on an Apple computer. Students taking this course should have a good working knowledge of programming (loops and decision structures) and design (flowcharting and pseudo code).

Billable Contact Hours: 3
