Creating A Simple Mobile App Prototype

Well, it basically depends on several factors, including your background, level of experience, learning time, desired skill level, and learning route.

Level of Experience

Anyone can learn iOS development, but you will learn it more easily if you already have experience with programming. Of course, every programming language is different, but being able to code in other languages will help you learn iOS development much faster. For example, an experienced developer can learn Swift in a few days/weeks. But don't worry if you are a beginner! You can start from scratch and be a successful iOS developer.

Learning Time

The second biggest factor impacting how long it takes to learn iOS is the amount of time you're planning to spend learning.

If you have a full-time job, kids, or a busy life in general, and are not able to study more than 30 minutes per day, you might reach your goal in a year or two (and that's ok). You'll learn more quickly if you spend more time per day studying iOS development. In a few months, you will likely be able to develop a simple app.

Learning Route

How are you planning on learning? There are various ways to learn programming, such as a university degree and online courses.

If you are considering going to university, a degree in Computer Science might be a good option for you. On the other hand, studying at university is a long and expensive way of learning. The good news is you can become an iOS developer without a university degree. Luckily, there are a variety of platforms (such as LinkedIn Learning or Udemy) that offer affordable courses for various levels.

Simply put, you can learn coding faster or slower depending on your pace. Just keep in mind that learning iOS is not an easy task. It requires a lot of hard work and dedication. If you are serious about learning programming, you should stick to learning and coding every single day. Also, remember that as a developer you will never stop learning.

Here are 7 Steps to Become a Professional iOS Developer

Step 1: Get a Mac & Download Xcode

Step 2: Understand the basics of Xcode

Step 3: Learn the basics of programming with Swift

Step 4: Build apps with tutorials

Step 5: Deepen your knowledge about the iOS SDK and frameworks

Step 6: Deepen your Swift knowledge

Step 7: Develop your own app

Good luck!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
