Apple launches a curriculum for schools teaching Swift
Apple has launched a curriculum for schools teaching app development using the company’s beloved Swift programming language.
Now available on the iBooks store, the ‘App Development with Swift’ curriculum is a full-year course designed by Apple’s engineers and educators which aims to help students get started with various elements of app design.
“We’ve seen firsthand the impact that coding has on individuals and the US economy as a whole. The app economy and software development are among the fastest-growing job sectors in America and we’re thrilled to be providing educators and students with the tools to learn coding,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Community colleges play a critical role in helping students achieve their dreams, and we hope these courses will open doors for people of all ages and backgrounds to pursue what they love.”
As part of the course, students will learn how to design and code full apps which provides valuable skills that can be expanded if students decide to pursue a career in Swift app development, or transferred to help when learning other languages if preferred.
