A course on iOS UI

Hi I believe that a separate course on iOS UI should be included covering all aspects of UI in treehouse style.

Its like covering all aspects of iOS UI in one place and how to use it. Like how to use collection view, table view, picker views, and all such things and how to choose one element of UI along with practical example. Just like any other course such as object oriented swift. As UI is roughly 50% of app development. Like this Learning iOS UI Development (https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/learning-ios-ui-development) but on a much greater detail and depth.

Hi, what do you mean by "all aspects of UI"? Do you want to have a course on how to design an UI? Or one on how to write your UI with Swift or Objective-C? Or do you want one on how to use the Interface Builder?

Okay, thanks for the answer :) I think a course covering all aspects of UI programming is simply impossible as UIKit has become a very huge framework. Because of that I think it's simpler if they split up things like UICollectionView, UITableView & AutoLayout into separat courses. If you have a basic understanding of those very common topics it is not that hard to look something up in Apple's documentation or in sample code on GitHub e.g. This could also help you by understanding when to use which component for a specific problem.

Agree but they are at different places. Can't there be couple of courses just on UI as it's the most important part of the app visible to outside world.

Dear Gurminder There are some good books covering all aspects, like strategy, scope, structure, skeletton and surface aspects of an UI
