Sean Allen

In this course I walk you through a mock take home project that is very common in the iOS dev job interview process. We start from the project brief, design, and we build the entire thing together so you can practice for the real thing.

This project fetches a list of followers from a GitHub username via a network call and allows the user to set and persist a favorite GitHub user.

- 100% Programmatic UI
- One complete app
- No 3rd party libraries
- Updated for iOS 15, 16 & iOS 17
