With more than 600 million iOS devices sold, Apple's booming mobile platform provides a immense and continuously growing app market for developers. And with each update to the iOS SDK, Apple offers the richest set of additional developer tools. iOS 7.0 is no exception. iOS programming expert Richard Warren shows you how to use these powerful tools to begin writing the next generation of iOS apps.


You will hone your development skills by creating a complete, full-featured mobile application. You'll learn to build an intuitive and beautiful user interface, beginning with linking View Controllers in the Storyboard and then adding custom drawn views. Next, you will learn how to use iCloud storage and Core Data to manage an app's data model, synchronizing data across multiple devices. Then you will learn ways to make your app stand out, using more advanced iOS techniques like UIKit Dynamics and UIMotionEffects. Finally, Richard shows you how to prepare your app for submission to the App Store, getting it in front of iOS users around the world.
