Course Info

About

The iOS Decal is a fun, fast-paced course teaching introductory application programming for iOS devices.

Each week, we'll have two class meetings -- one lecture and one lab. During lab, students will work on a mini-assignment relating to the content taught during that week's lecture. By the end of the semester, students will have gained concrete experience using countless Apple frameworks, application types, and 3rd party libraries in order to developed a custom app of their own which they present as their final project.

Location

Zoom Meeting Room

Time

Each week, we will have one lecture and one lab office hours. Lecture attendance is not required as they will be presented asynchronously. Recordings will be posted to the course website. Lab attendance is not required, but is intended for students to receive help and have their questions answered.

Prerequisites/ Requirements

  • Courses: CS 61A (prior) and CS 61B (prior or concurrent). We will be assuming that students are familiar with essential programming skills such as for-loops, recursion, object-oriented programming, etc.
  • Hardware: MacBook running macOS 10.14.3 (Mojave) or later. Older laptops may run into performance issues during development but being able to run Xcode 12 is the only requirement. Devices from mid-2012 and newer should be fine.

Syllabus

  • Labs (30%): Labs will be small, self-contained assignments designed to reinforce lecture material. Only 5 need to be completed for full credit. Labs will be graded on effort and completion.
  • Projects (40%): Projects will be an opportunity to fill out major features of an app. Projects will be graded on completion & correctness.
  • Final Project (30%): The final project will be a 4-week effort culminating in the completion of an App-Store ready product. The final project will be graded on effort and completion.
Do not stress about this course! Please let us know if you're feeling overwhelmed or lost, we will be happy to grant extensions & provide further support!
