Heritage High School – Mobile Application Programming

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

We will apply previously learned object-oriented programming techniques and rules of inheritance (super/sub classes, abstract classes, and interfaces) to Apple’s iOS API’s. Because of the dynamic nature of development for mobile devices, students will need to be independent learners; most apps will require significant research to complete, and students will work independently for most of the year. Significant group projects will expose students to the challenges of working in teams and develop project management & interpersonal skills. Students will code in the Swift programming language using the Xcode IDE, building apps for devices such as iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Additionally, students will analyze the responsibility of software professionals regarding issues of the environment, ethics, health, safety, and diversity in society and in the workplace.
