COSC346

Welcome to COSC346

In this class we will be learning about Object-Oriented Programming and User Interfaces. Although the ideas apply across platforms, we will focus on software development for the Mac. We will be using Swift and the Xcode development environment. We will learn how to use the Foundation Framework for general purpose programming and the Application Kit Framework for application development. Along the way we will cover object-oriented design and user interface guidelines. At the end of the class you should understand how to write object-oriented code, why it is good for graphical user interfaces, and how to write and design applications for OS X on the Mac.
