Beginning iOS App Development Nanodegree program is open!

Marie Curie, the first woman ever to win a Nobel Prize, once said, “I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.” Wise words unquestionably, but in this case, the way of progress IS swift. Apple Swift, that is!

Of course we’re talking about Swift, Apple’s custom programming language designed specifically for building iOS and OS X apps. If you dream of one day impacting people’s lives on a global scale with the apps you build for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, then learning Swift is definitely somewhere in your pretty near future.

How far away that future is largely depends on whether you already have programming experience. Traditionally, not having any can be a real barrier, and that’s something we’re committed to changing through the launch of our new Beginning iOS App Development Nanodegree program. This new program represents a revolutionary new experience for Udacity students, and you’ll see the difference right away when you enroll and enter the classroom.

If you’re computer competent (as in, you know an upload from a download, and you set up your new smartphone yourself when you received it!), but don’t yet have any programming experience, you can rest assured that your iOS App Developer dreams are not only still intact, but they are realistic, and reachable. Because there is no programming experience required to enroll!
