In this unit, you’ll
- Deepen your skills in Xcode and Interface Builder through guided projects that teach you how to build an app from the ground up.
- Use techniques to add user interface elements to a screen, connect those elements to code, and respond to the events generated by user interaction.
- Get hands-on experience with incremental development by gradually expanding your app’s capabilities and testing it at each phase.
You’ll apply your knowledge to create a MemeMaker app. And in your final guided app project, you’ll build an ElementQuiz app with modes for flash cards and a scored quiz.
Finally, you’ll explore the concept of the digital divide, and compare your access to technology with the access that’s available to people elsewhere in the country or the world. You’ll explore what has contributed to the digital divide and what can be done to close the gap. You’ll take your app design ideas to the next level by considering how to pitch your app and how to address key stakeholder needs. You’ll consider how apps generate revenue and the decisions you’ll need to make about your users’ experiences and data privacy.
