Course Overview
Get started with prototyping for building mobile apps using real-world design principles from Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.
This programme is suitable for students who are new to coding, and are interested in designing and prototyping mobile apps using Keynote.
Beyond no-code prototyping, students can learn some syntax-based programming in Apple’s Swift language by solving fun, interactive coding puzzles and creating simple apps in SwiftUI.
