Welcome to Mobile Apps at the South-Western Career Academy

 
​Mobile App Development  is a two year program designed to prepare students for entry into a degree program in mobile application development or design. Through the program students will develop skills using various software programs and production tools and languages including html, css, javascript and swift. Students will learn to create mobile applications for android and ios devices.  

Students are exposed to information security, programming and software systems, web development and digital media.  Teamwork and problem solving are stressed as students assemble portfolio pieces for college, internships and employment.

In addition to the above curriculum students may choose to participate in an internship experience.  Students must provide transportation to mentoring and internship sites.

Learn A Cutting Edge Language

Swift is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, programming language produced by Apple. For iOS, MacOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Linux. Quick is made to use Apple’s Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and also the large body of existing Objective-C (ObjC) code written for Apple products. Swift will probably be more resilient to incorrect code (“safer”) than Objective-C, and much more concise.
