Who Should Take This Course 

• Existing developers who want to learn Apple platform development. 

• Existing UIKit developers who want to learn SwiftUI. 

• Students should already be familiar with basic programming concepts: variables, statements, functions, arrays, data structures and common programming problems.  

• Students should be comfortable with the Swift programming language. 

SwiftUI Basics
