iOS Dev Using Objective-C, Part 4 of 4: Animation

Course description

iOS was built for animation, and most properties of a view can be animated, either directly or through using a view's backing layer. The UIKit has a few built-in convenience class methods that allow you to animate changes of position, color, frame, opacity, and shadow to name a few. Then we look at animating transitions, either within the same view or in a change between views. We will create a subclass of UIImageView that has a front and back side, then use a sample flip animation to change sides.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes that students have a general understanding of programming concepts in Xcode and Objective C.
