The curriculum is geared toward high school and higher education students and focuses on the open-source programming language Swift, designed by Apple, and using Xcode on the Mac. A fifth book, “Develop in Swift Data Collections,” will become available later this fall.
The new series will now include four books, “Develop in Swift Explorations,” “Develop in Swift AP CS Principles,” and “Develop in Swift Fundamentals,” all of which are available today. This curriculum has also been completely redesigned to meet students learning styles, based on user feedback, says Apple. On July 13, Apple will begin offering free online training to educators that will serve as an introduction to its Develop in Swift curriculum. Apple today announced its plans for a new, free resource aimed at helping educators of all skill levels gain the ability to teach both Swift and Xcode - the latest in Apple’s educational initiatives focused on encouraging more students to learn app development.
