Applehas two coding banners by the name ‘Develop in Swift’ and ‘Everyone Can Code’ and they are designed to provide basic computer science knowledge to educators.
‘Everyone can code’ is a beginners course whereas ‘Develop in Swift’ is a more advanced course for those who are already initiated.
The course allows the user to learn basics in coding and then pass on that knowledge to students by using Apple’s open source programming language Swift.
The Cupertino Giant is also working on enhancing the curriculum of both the courses.
Within the ‘Develop in Swift’ course, Apple provides information on both Swift for high school and higher education students and Xcode on Mac for new and experienced coders.
Everyone Can Code introduces coding to students in grades 4 through 8, and uses puzzles and games to help teach the building blocks of Swift through the Swift Playgrounds app.
