STRV Academy: Becoming an iOS Engineer

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO APPLY ON OUR WEBSITE, THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC EVENT

The STRV iOS team is big on sharing what we know, something we apply within our team and our community. The STRV Academy is the perfect way for us to put everything we’ve learned over the years to good use, helping raise the next generation of iOS engineers.

Our mission is to provide you with the necessary knowledge to build a small iOS application from scratch. On the way, you go beyond the basics of the Swift programming language and learn to build simple UI with two Apple frameworks: the modern SwiftUI framework and the historical but still essential UIKit framework. You also get the notion of software architectures used in the Apple ecosystem and implement a scalable networking layer with properly handled asynchronous jobs.
The STRV Academy isn’t here to throw a ton of theory at you. We want you to experience the craft and try out the new skills you’ll gain — so expect plenty of coding.
