πŸ‘‹πŸ» Hi! I'm Joel. My pronouns are he/him. I'm 44 and I live in London near Epping Forest with my fiancΓ©e Jess and cat Dave.
Welcome to the Creative Computing Institute!
Welcome to the Diploma in Apple Development πŸŽπŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ’»!
By the end of this lecture, we'll have learnt about:
There are two lecturers on the Apple Diploma, me and Xiaowan-Yi. She'll be teaching you all about Machine Learning. Let's go through my website and Xiaowan's.
Let's go around the room and introduce ourselves. Please say how you'd like to be addressed, what course you are coming from and what you are interested in making this year.
Let's take a look at the results of the last two years of the Apple Diploma, from the end of year shows: 2022/2023 cohort, 2023/2024 cohort.
What are you going to make this year? You are going to learn how to make apps for the Apple Vision Pro. How many of you have tried it? Have any of you ever done any programming? If so, in which language? Don't worry if you haven't, many people in previous cohorts started with no experience at all. Does anyone know the name of the coding language we will be learning this year?
The key milestones of the year are the end of Block One and the end of Block Two. That's when we'll have assessment. The first half of the year will be all about making an app prototype in a group and the second half of the year will be all about making an app for release on your own. We'll have an end of year show with the rest of CCI and (hopefully) a presentation at the Apple UK headquarters at Battersea!
What questions do you have for me?
Some homework to complete before next Tuesday:
  1. Book in for an Apple Vision Pro demo at the Apple store nearest to you - it's free! 30 minutes and well worth it.
  2. Install Xcode on your computer.
  3. Install Apple Books on your computer and iPhone.
  4. Install the Developer app on your computers and iPhone.
  5. Install the Slack app on your computers and iPhones (the app, not the web app).
  6. Sign up for a free account on GitHub - use a non UAL email so you can keep the account after you graduate.
  7. Find/create your Apple ID, so I can add you to our iOS development team at CCI. It's the same email that you use for your Apple TV or Music account.
  8. Read and watch all of The Steve Jobs archive.
  9. Finally, see you next Tuesday, right here, at 0930. Do you need to see the QR code again?
Thanks!
