Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language for first-time coders and full-time developers. Certification recognizes foundational knowledge of Swift, Xcode and app development tools.
“The knowledge and skills that I have learned during the process of this certification program will allow me to grow my program,” said Kaiser. “With the addition of Swift, students taking the Computer Information Systems Programming degree track will not only learn the fundamentals of software development but also mobile. With the knowledge and skills that students will acquire in the future Apple development class, they will be able to create programs and apps that could even be published on the Apple App Store.”
