Apple/Android App & Unity 3D Developer Package

Description

Become a professional iOS app developer by mastering the fundamentals of Xcode programming, join the mobile app revolution by learning the fundamentals of Android mobile programming and master multi-platform games development techniques using the powerful Unity 3D development platform.
Apple App Developer:
This course is for Beginners has been designed in such a way that no prior experience is required – making it perfect for everyone.
Instructor led videos and extensive self-study manuals help students get to grips with Xcode and the Apple development environment. The online delivery method ensures that course contents are available anyplace anytime, to fit in around the student’s schedule. And by using our accompanying social networking platform, participants can share knowledge and experience to augment their own knowledge.
Upon completion students will have a good working understanding of Xcode, and the practical skills required to turn a customer’s design requirements into a working app for their iPad or iPhone.
Android app developer:
This course is specifically designed for IT professionals and computer enthusiasts who have little or no programming experience.
Over the course of modules students will learn everything they need to get started with Android app development. This entry-level course ensures that programmers of any experience (including none at all) will be able to build apps from scratch and deploy then on the Android Market.
This Course teaches the skills required to help anyone become an Android app developer. By building real apps that fulfil real needs, students will learn practical competencies that can be applied and extended to create even more advanced apps. At the end of this course participants will have enough knowledge and experience to move onto advanced development techniques, or to begin deploying and selling apps immediately.
Unity 3D:
By following the course content students will learn how to script from scratch, allowing them to build exciting and revolutionary games for deployment across a wide range of platforms.
Starting with the most basic principles, the Game Design Course with Unity 3D package takes programmers and non-programmers from absolute beginner to experienced game developer in no time. Students will learn practical coding and scripting skills to back up their learning as they begin to build games within hours of beginning the course. This course will help move participants from absolute beginner to games programming maestro within a matter of hours.
Once students have completed the Game Design Course with Unity 3D package they will have all the skills and knowledge required to build outstanding 3D games for multiple platforms using the Unity 3D toolkit.
