Catalog Description

This certificate teaches how to program native apps (mobile device applications) to run on iPhones, iPads, and other iOS devices. Students learn programming in Swift, and also programming of data structures and algorithms in Java or C++. The specifics of how to program for iPhones is covered, as well as substantial project experience. Students completing this certificate program will be qualified for employment as entry-level app developers and quality assurance technicians.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:

  • Analyze a problem and interpret technical specifications to create and program appropriate algorithmic solutions.
  • Develop and test Swift classes and protocols, interfacing with Web APIs.
  • Extend User Interface Kit (UIKit) classes to create custom view controllers.
  • Create working iPhone applications that utilize the distinctive capabilities of iOS.
  • Compare and contrast algorithms for efficiency.
  • Predict the results of code using standard data structures with associated algorithms.
  • Operate effectively within a team, gaining work experience

The minimum time for completion of this certificate is 2 semesters. Completion time will vary based on student preparation and number of units completed per semester.
