Introduction to iOS development for Designers
The Introduction to iOS development for Designers training course is available at our Cardiff training centre in Wales, which is also within easy reach of Newport, Bristol and South Wales
Overview
This course is designed for anyone without programming experience who is looking to begin developing applications for iOS devices. The course would suit designers with experience of creative suite applications such as photoshop and dreamweaver. The course focuses on using as little code as possible to produce visual results and will demonstrate how to incorporate video and images into an application. It will also teach how to simply detect users choices and build in logic to the applications. The course does include writing code so whilst no programming experience is necessary a willingness to learn how to write code is essential.
