Video description

In this Learning App Development in iOS 8 training course, expert author Keith Welch will teach you how to use Xcode and Objective-C to create iPhone and iPad apps. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no iOS app development experience is required.
You will start by learning the basics of Xcode and Objective-C, as well as the iOS SDK. From there, Keith will teach you how to build a user interface using storyboard. This video tutorial will cover basic user interface elements such as labels and text views, and more advanced controls like collection views and tab bars. You will also cover iOS features, including location services, mapping, social networking, reminders, and alarms. Keith will also teach you about the new iOS features, including CloudKit, HomeKit, and PhotoKit. Finally, you will work with the Dev Center and learn how to submit your completed iPhone or iPad app for inclusion in the iTunes App Store.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of creating your own iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
