Immediately after onboarding, the free part of the course will begin. On it you:

— get acquainted with the Swift language
— complete and launch your first application (you don’t need to relearn math for this)
- but you need an Apple computer with macOS Monterey or later)
— see the results of your labors and understand whether you are interested in doing iOS development in the future

Optional module 6-8 hours - Pool

After purchasing the course, we will offer you a “Swimming Pool”.

These are several additional lessons that will become available along with the first sprint. Thanks to them, you will become familiar with the basic concepts of programming. Simple and fun tasks on basic logic and algorithms will help you better assimilate further material, especially if you are encountering programming for the first time in your life.

Important: you don’t have to go through the “Swimming Pool” and go straight to exploring the iOS galaxy. To decide whether you need this stage or not, we will ask you to answer several questions.

Topic 1. Basic logic
— Truthfulness
- Twice no
- And or Not

Topic 2. Algorithmics
— Basis (sequence of actions), concept of algorithm
— Following
— The concept of a variable
— Arrays and loops

Topic 3. Programming
— How programming languages ​​work, syntax, expression
