Pokedex is an IOS app that I made while doing a IOS course on Udemy. Mark Price and his team at Devslopes, were very helpful and provided a great learning experience. Mark and his team provide resources and code so if you get stuck along the way you can download their code and see the app running. While building this app I learned about Alamofire, PokeApi, CocoaPods, and parsing JSON. Alamofire is an HTTP networking library that was brought in for making API calls. For the Pokemon data, we used a free Pokemon API called PokeApi. PokeApi provides information for all the Pokemon in the app. It was interesting learning about HTTP calls in IOS and was easier than I expected. CocoaPods is a dependency manager for IOS, so I would have use CocoaPods to install Alamofire. CocoaPods is basically used to install packages that you may need in your app. Parsing JSON data was another part of the learning. I already knew about JSON from working with Laravel, but I was interested to see how to manage it in IOS. Mark does a great job of this and explains when you get the data you want, how to convert it to swift and use in your app. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to get started with IOS because in this course you learn a lot of great things for IOS such as Firebase, Alamofire, IOS Design using Sketch, and more. If your interested in this course be sure to check out my skills and look for IOS, you will see a resource link for Mark's course on Udemy.
