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.

Prerequisites

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