Don Patterson
You will learn to extend your knowledge of making iOS apps so that they can securely interact with web services and receive push notifications. You’ll learn how to store data securely on a device using Core Data. You’ll also learn to securely deploy apps to the App Store and beta users over–the–air. The format of the course is through a series of code tutorials. We will walk you through the creation of several apps that you can keep as a personal app toolbox. When you make your own apps after this course, you can bring in these capabilities as needed. When necessary we pop out of the code tutorials to talk about concepts at a higher level so that what you are programming makes sense. Upon completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Post Facebook, Twitter, Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo messages to social media using single sign–on on behalf of a user. 2. Use OAuth 2.0 to securely authenticate to Instagram and retrieve photos on behalf of a user 3. JSON 4. Describe JSON’s syntax 5. Write well–formed JSON 6. Work with JSON data objects in Objective–C 7. Appropriately set the security settings for App Transport Security in iOS 9.0 …

Great course with a lot of examples on integration with social networks and secure transportation layer.
Reinier K –
I would say that prior programming knowledge would be a big advantage, otherwise it might become a copying exercise without necessarily knowing what you’re doing. I like the fact that the videos show that not everything works smoothly in the sense that it’s easy to make mistakes, even by Don : )
Nikolay S –
I expected more information about security,
Karen v E –
Really good information, good quality presentation. The working examples are well chosen and fun to work along with. Thank you!
Kat G –
Great material, a bit confusing to follow on certain assignments where there’s live code writing, troubleshooting and turning off/on of the recording.
Ramin A –
This course was not as good as the first course. I found myself typing codes mindlessly a lot and feeling the guilt that I’m not learning a lot from the app I’m making because there is too much coding going on and it’s not clear what’s more important. The final exam was too easy (almost a joke!) and it didn’t help me figure out if I actually did learn something by typing out all these codes. I would like more lecture, snippet of codes and explaining what they do and have us fill out part of a code by thinking through as oppose to typing out the whole thing.
Jose M A C –
The material and videos are so poor, and low quality, I am happy to not have bought this course
Huang X –
Great for beginner for network and security knowledge and hands on for iOS app
Leandro N S N –
You should skip module 8 from week 3. You can’t work along because the website parse.com do not accept new members…. Don’t rush to purchase an apple developer account!
Gustavo M –
This series of courses are great. The ones I’ve taken. Good Job!!!
Bruno H c –
Thi course covers up the basics of networking and security for iOS applications using Objective C. It’s a great course if you want to understand the basics and want to implement in practice some of these topics. I just wish it cover more cases and more apps. But for that this should be a course more longer than it is. Nevertheless it’s a great course.
Jifeng J –
Very nice teacher, very nice course!
David F –
Without a doubt the worst course I have ever taken anywhere. When the instructor, who is supposed to be teaching you how to write iOS apps, takes (no exaggeration) SIX minutes to even figure out how to open XCode, you know you’re in for a rocky ride. Still, I stuck with it for three more weeks. To my horror, the course only got worse from there. This course was clearly thrown together with a minimum of effort by someone who is not qualified to teach the subject. It’s an insult to Coursera customers, and a major failure of quality control.
Artem K –
Good course, but not that much network and not so much security. Nevertheless, good course with useful techniques and explanations.
John F –
The course needs to be updated to reflect API and third party service changes, but the JSON material and (especially) the core storage lesson are well worth the effort.
Nguyen V H –
After all, i enjoy this course. Hope pro.Don will update for amazing swift.
Parth N –
Its great way to learn more about iOS development. Professor is fantastic and material is very helpful.
Doruk P –
Very productive course all around.
Abbas H –
GREAT
Vinod C –
Material for the course is outdated.
Shanaka S –
Although the name of the course is a bit misleading, the content it covers is good and is worth the price you pay for it. Instructor is very informative and knows what he’s talking about. Quizzes and assignments are a bit easy for my taste but thats a minor gripe.
Manish K –
Excellent Starter course for Core data and networking.
Sneha P A –
Very nice course. It would have been nice if even the remote storage was added into this curriculum.
Akshay –
Great way to teach I am enjoying it
Jonas S H –
Due to change from xcode 7 to 8, important parts of these lectures are outdates. Hence, it get complicated to follow the course.
Soumyadeep G –
This was another excellent course in the iOS specialization by Prof. Don Patterson. However, Prof. Patterson’s teaches students many important concepts prevalent in iOS apps, such as integration with various social networking applications, working with data in local on device storage, and push notifications. Once again, I found Prof. Patterson’s style to be very engaging (a most difficult task especially for online lectures) and the course materials to be well thought out. Only one caveat though: The name of the course is a little misleading: there isn’t much of a discussion about security features of iOS (I would have expected a course covering security in iOS to at least talk about using cryptography inside apps.)
Henrique T d A S –
Great course!
Md I H –
Great course on Networking, could be better if NSURLSession is also included alongwith catching
Steven M –
Don Patterson does a great job introducing you to two essential iOS frameworks, notifications and CoreData.
Dheeman R –
The course content is quite good and well thought out. This course teaches some fundamental concepts of storing data on the device and interaction with the app as well as interacting with external APIs using OAuth 2.0. The course does need updating though since a number of things have changed since the time the course was built. This makes following the current content a bit harder and in some cases it took considerable time to complete the assignment.
Deleted A –
Good content around Networking, Social Sharing, Core Data. Great Delivery of the content.
Ananta A S –
A bit difficult but totally worth it!!!
DILIP K –
Course is pretty good
Kipp M –
Overall, a good solid course. There are some difficult times when the video lectures do not respond well with newer versions of Xcode. It takes some extra effort to find things in Xcode8 vs 5. I relied heavily on the course website, Discourse. Great information about the next stages of iOS app building.
Yulia S –
Very detailed course that contains lots of practice. Some information is changed for the current versions iOS and XCode, but despite this I like the course! Thank you.
Naga S P P –
Professor Patterson guides you through all the basics of Networking in iOS. The content is well structured and easy to understand. I highly recommend taking this course if you want to know how to use web services to fetch data and use core data for persistent storage.
Helen A –
Great Class. Material needs to be updated according to new social media restrictions, however.
Juan R S –
Needs to have updated content in the lessons , really made me waste a lot of time .

Excellent course, good assignments with real world practical usage.
Omar A E A –
Good course but unfortiontlay needs updates! many functions in core data and other lessons has been updated now in ios 11 and iOS 12, but over all good explanation of objective c and apple frameworks
Frank G –
Course is out of date. Also, the style here is to essentially tell you what to type, and then have peers grade you (inaccurately), on how well you did. The bar MUST be raised. Course content that keeps up with the fast paced changing development environment; more teaching of concepts and details, and less “type this magical incantation”; work graded by graders, or at least by objective automatic systems.
Jesper L –
It really needs some updating, especially Core Data. Otherwise I like the course and teacher
Sara S –
Need updates!
Nikolay A –
The course material is outdated.
roberto s –
Too old in my opinion. Uses Objective C, Xcode 7 with simulators running iOS 9 this should be highlighted in the course description since that’s an important information anyone should know before enrolling. I will look for more updated courses about iOS security on iOS 12/13 with Swift.
