Project Overview You will make an iPhone app that will allow users to record their voice and will then modulate the recorded audio to sound like a Chipmunk or Darth Vader. This app will also let the user speed up or slow down the rate of playback, and experience fun echo and reverb effects.
Why this project? The first step in becoming an iOS Developer is to create your first app! Pitch Perfect provides a substantial, while not overly complicated, introduction to the iOS ecosystem.
What will I learn? You will learn how to:
Create a new project from existing iOS app templates Add buttons, images, labels and create user interfaces for the app using the Storyboard Leverage the Model View Controller (MVC) design principles; this includes writing custom model code, and using UIViewController, and UIView Create Outlet and Action connections between the views and view controllers. Benefit from the power of Delegates by using them in code Navigate between two scenes in the app using UINavigationController Play audio files using AVFoundation’s AVAudioEngine class Run the iOS simulator and download the app on a physical device Search documentation, resolve bugs, and read other people’s code Why is this project meaningful to my career? MVC is the cornerstone of all iOS app development; understanding these principles early sets you on the path to success. Learning how to find answers to development questions by searching documentation emulates the practice of expert software engineers.
You will also make a relevant project that you will feel proud to share with your friends, family, and peers.
