Apps and smartphones help us with every aspect of our lives. With our App Coding summer course, you can learn to build your own iOS apps while living on the campus of a top university.
Apply NowOxford Royale Academy’s Introduction to iOS App Development course introduces students to the modern world of mobile software application development. This course focuses on the popular iOS application development and introduces students to the basics of Swift programming. By the time they leave the course, students will know how to design, build and publish their own iOS application.
It is an ideal time to be an app developer – technology is evolving quickly and producing exciting devices that bring enjoyment and assistance to millions of users. Now is the best time to become a part of this exciting world and to gain a head start using cutting-edge methods and practices.
Students seeking a longer technology or coding summer school might like to combine this course with our Computer Science course or our Robotics course, both of which can be combined with the iOS App Development summer course for a longer stay with Oxford Royale Academy.
A key aim of the iOS App Development summer course is to help students develop a passion for the field of computer programming and specifically for iOS mobile app development. By providing students with an awareness of the entire mobile Application Development Life Cycle (ADLC), this course aims to engage students while providing a key insight into life as an app developer. For those keen to pursue this career path, the course also ensures a head start in the key skill areas required to be successful.
