FAQs

Is Phase 1 and/or Phase 2 a prerequisite for the Develop in Swift courses?

No. However, those already familiar with code may have an easier time understanding some of the material.

Will the course be taught in-person or online?

This program will be offered both in-person and remotely. Participants who do not have the appropriate technology to participate remotely will need to pick up devices provided to them by NYPL prior to the beginning of the program and return them after the course is finished.

What do I need in order to participate?

All of the physical and digital materials needed to participate in the program, including technology and learning materials will be provided to you by NYPL’s TechConnect department. If you already own or have access to the necessary technology (a Macbook Pro running the latest updated version of MacOS, Big Sur and Xcode 12) needed to participate, you are more than welcome to use your own equipment.

In addition to the physical equipment and digital materials needed to participate. Learners will also need to have wifi that meets the following criteria:

An upload speed of at least 3.8Mbps and...
A download speed of at least 3.0Mbps

To test to see what your upload and download speeds are, you can use an online tool like speedtest.net to run the test and find out.

How will classes take place virtually?

All classes will be delivered in a webinar format using Zoom. Instructors will be following up with learners regularly via email to guide them through the three projects created as part of the curriculum and the personal project.

The Develop in Swift Fundamentals course is being brought to you in partnership with Apple’s Community Education Initiative.
