iOS Bootcamp NYC | iOS App Development Courses

Learn to Program & Build iOS Apps

Build your very own iPhone or iPad apps using Swift and Xcode.

In class you’ll start by learning iOS programming fundamentals. You’ll learn how to use Xcode and the Swift programming language to build apps using the most common and useful iOS development features/APIs. Concurrent with class projects, you will work on your own final project as homework, and receive guidance on that project from the instructor.

The training does not require any specific previous programming experience, but it is helpful. You should have some experience with some type of code, such as HTML, CSS, Python, JavaScript, etc. The more coding experience you have coming into this class, the better.

To add apps developed in class to your personal device or to the app store you will need an Apple Developer account that costs $99, which we will set up in class.

Noble's iOS Development course has taken me from pure novice in code of any kind to about to publish my very own iOS app. I'd tried paid online courses, tutorials and books but it all ended in frustration. One reason being that the language Swift has been developing and changing so much that online wasn't keeping up. There's nothing like having a live coding expert in the same room. Noble finds excellent teachers (who are also patient with beginners) and is very generous with workbooks, downloadable materials and files in order to keep everything up to date. Taking this course was the best decision I've made in the last ten years..!

Noble’s iOS Bootcamp helped me take my skills to the next level! I have always wanted to learn Swift, but was not able to learn by only using online resources. The teacher helped me understand the logic behind object-oriented programming. It was a challenging class, but I felt so accomplished after I finished. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and would even take it again myself!

This class is taught by someone who is not only an expert at coding, but by someone who is a fantastic teacher. Those two things are often mutually exclusive skills, however Noble Desktop has managed to find an instructor with both skills at a very high level. If you are thinking of learning iOS development, look no further, as this class will be a great springboard for your success in the field.

West Kraemer

With a very minimal coding background, Arjun and Noble Desktop were able to crash-course me into iOS app development with patience and efficiency. I now have the resources I need to move forward with launching my app (designed as part of the Noble Desktop UX/UI Certification program) by the end of the year. Thank you, ND!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to bring anything to the class?

We provide a Mac with a Xcode for use during the course. However, we recommended that attendees bring and work on their own Mac so that they can continue practicing at home.
What happens if I need to miss a session?
You have some options:
- If you can’t come into the classroom, but can still attend remotely (live online using a screen sharing app), please let us know ahead of time so we can get you information to attend online.
- You can make up that session in a future offering of the class, provided that the class is running with an available seat.
- You can go through the workbook exercises for that session. Ask your instructor about what you’ll be missing.
Does this course require any prior knowledge or experience?

Students must be comfortable using a computer. No other prior knowledge is required.

You may attend this training virtually (online) at the scheduled time the course is offered (New York, Eastern Time).

How does attending “live online” work?
- Students can attend this training remotely through screen sharing software (we use Zoom).
- Participants can hear the instruction, ask questions, and even share their screen with the instructor.
- For audio you can use your computer’s microphone/speakers or call a phone number that we’ll provide.
