Description

Unlock the world of iOS development in a fun, approachable way with “Vibe to Code: From Base44 to iOS Apps.”This course is designed for learners of all levels who want to explore iOS development in a fresh and creative way. We’ll begin with the free version of Base44’s vibe coding platform, which allows you to quickly mock up app ideas without writing a single line of code. This no-code approach makes it easy to experiment, play, and learn by doing — even if you’ve never programmed before. From there, we’ll gradually transition into SwiftUI and SwiftData, showing you how to move from prototypes to fully coded, idiomatic iOS applications.Along the journey, you’ll gain hands-on experience with essential skills every iOS developer needs: fundamental programming concepts, user interface design, app logic, and persistent data storage. To put everything into practice, you’ll build a Todo App that leverages SwiftData to save and manage tasks. This project will give you a strong foundation in state management and data handling, and it’s something you can showcase as part of your portfolio. As the course grows, additional real-world projects will be introduced, giving you more opportunities to practice, expand your skills, and build apps you can be proud of.By the end of the course, you’ll have both the skills and confidence to transform your ideas into polished SwiftUI apps. Whether you’re starting from scratch or leveling up your skills, this course will guide you from vibing to coding, and from ideas to fully functional iOS apps.And remember, I’m always available through the course Q&A, where I check in daily and respond quickly. Your questions, ideas, and progress matter, and I’ll be there to support you every step of the way.Happy Coding!
