Introduction

The design and user experience (UX) of an iOS application play a critical role in its success. Creating an intuitive and engaging user interface (UI) requires understanding both design principles and development tools. Swift and SwiftUI, Apple’s framework for UI development, provide developers with a powerful platform to create beautiful, interactive, and responsive mobile apps. This iOS UI/UX Design with Swift course covers key principles, SwiftUI development, and best practices for building compelling iOS apps that deliver a seamless user experience.

Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge of Swift programming
• Familiarity with Xcode IDE
• Understanding of object-oriented programming concepts
• Experience with UIKit or SwiftUI (optional but helpful)
