About the course

Course code: C01397

Course overview:

Swift is a powerful programming language that is easy and also fun to learn. Its code is safe by design, yet also produces software that runs lightning-fast. It is used to build apps for iOS, watchOS, macOS, tvOS, and Linux.

In this aspire journey, you will learn the fundamentals of the Swift language such as variables, loops, arrays, conditionals and more. With these skills, you should have all the tools needed to create functional Swift apps.

You will then learn how to use enumerations to structure information and how to use optionals to handle values that might be absent. You will also learn how to write powerful higher-order functions that can work with many different types and how to use access control to better organise your code.

The tracks you will cover are:

• Track 1: Swift Fundamentals
• Track 2: Intermediate Swift
