Long Description

In the UIKit Fundamentals course on Udacity, you will learn how to use outlets and actions by connecting them both through code and storyboard. You will also gain a deep understanding of core UIKit classes such as UIButton, UILabel, and UISwitch, and practice debugging problems with IBOutlets and IBActions. Additionally, you will learn how to present views and segue between them, exploring the differences between modal presentation and navigation. The course will also cover the delegate pattern and its usage in connecting the model, view, and controller. You will implement UIKit components like UITextField and UITextFieldDelegate that make use of the delegate pattern. Throughout the course, you will build a series of challenge apps to demonstrate your understanding. One of these apps is the Meme Me App, where you will enable the user to choose an image, adjust the keyboard, generate a meme, and share it using a UIActivityView. You will also learn how to build tables using the UITableView class, exploring essential UITableViewDelegate and UITableViewDatasource methods, and manipulating table cells. The course will cover iOS app navigation, teaching you how to create navigation stacks and enabling users to view details of an item by tapping a row in a table. Finally, you will complete the Meme Me App by learning how to share data across classes using the AppDelegate, and using UICollectionView to display memes in a grid and UITabViewController to toggle between meme layouts.
