Summary of the week
This first week sets-up the basics of programming on mobile platforms and, more precisely, on iOS-based devices.
After a reminder about the principles of event-based programming, and about the deployment of mobile applications, the Xcode development environment is presented. A minimum survival guide is then provided for Objective-C and Swift and we end with a short demo presenting the development of a simple application (Hello World).
Finally, two simple exercises are proposed to have a first practice.
IMPORTANT : to let you some time to integrate all the information we provide in a larger amount of videos, the first practical session will take place on September 25. It will be longer than the regular ones since we recommend you to build the applications we propose both in Objective-C and in Swift.
IMPORTANT : to really benefit from this course, it is important to prepare exercises BEFORE the practical sessions.
Practice
Several exercises are proposed this week. A link to the presentation of this practical work is provided, as well as explanation videos are available here:
