iOS is the most used mobile OS in large corporations and iphones, Ipads are most popular mobile phones and tablets. If you search on naukri, monster or times job, you will see hundreds of jobs requiring 0 to 2 year experience for iOS app development. MNC's are looking for these skills but can't find enough MCAs and engineers who are trained in this.
The application development process for iOSplatforms (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad and future platforms) relies on a specialized paradigm of application development -the mobile paradigm. Designers and developers of mobile apps are challenged to provide superb user experience on resource-limited platforms where memory, processing power and battery life are at a premium.
In this course, we present Apple’s approach to mobile app design and development, as reflected in the design of the iOS platform, the Model – View-Controller (MVC) paradigm and iOS’s v various high and low-level frameworks. Objective-C, the native programming language for iOS, is exposed and explained step – by-step.
