OSU says the new course "expands the opportunity to anyone interested in learning how to code and build apps that are ready for the App Store."

The four-course series is designed to make it easy for participants to learn to code and develop apps with Swift — Apple's open-source programming language. They also walk away with a series of stackable certificates and real-world skills.
The course is built around Apple's own coding curriculum and Xcode.
Director of learning programs and Digital Flagship Cory Tressler said:
"This coding and app development certificate program allows anyone, regardless of their background or prior knowledge with coding, the opportunity to learn a tangible, applicable digital skill that will not only provide them immediate skills to utilize and explore, but also a foundation for future learning, innovation and creativity in the digital world."
