Mobile applications are the most widely software in the world. With Apple having a huge share of the smartphone market, iOS applications are fairly popular and well in demand. This is exactly what this class is focused on.

iOS Mobile development is one of the best paying software engineering fields in the market with salaries up to 70K Pounds after just a few years of experience. With the current work-from-home situation, learning a new skill, especially iOS Development, can be essential to your growth and getting into the tech industry with interesting projects on your profile. If that resonates with you, then this class is the answer to that need.

ABOUT ME:
I am Usman. I have an MSc in Computer Science and I am a professional iOS Mobile Development Engineer. Having worked with a US-based tech company and mentored by people working in Apple themselves, I have the knowledge and experience that I can forward to you.

CLASS STRUCTURE:
This class is structured to be very project-oriented. While some theoretical concepts will be covered, the learning focus will be based on projects. Not only will this help you get abundant practical experience and confidence, but also help you to build a portfolio of interesting projects for your resume :)

The projects include:

1 - Firebase API Mobile Application
2 - Whatsapp clone (Chat Application)
3 - A Camera Application

The class will be 2.5 months-long and structured to be joined by people from all levels and I will be giving each person a different level of individual support and reviewing the work.

See you all :)

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life and to know how to identify digital traps.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

Many students today use AI tools like ChatGPT, but often in an unsafe or improvised way. Legitimate questions arise: Is it allowed? How can mistakes be avoided? How can AI be used without losing control of one's own thinking?

This course isn't about shortcuts or "machine-done work." It focuses on understanding AI as a tool and learning to use it consciously and responsibly. We work with concrete examples from the university setting and show how AI can support learning without compromising academic integrity.

One of the course's central themes is AI as a research tool. We'll explore how to define topics, formulate effective research questions, and structure a project from the outset. AI can help gain an overview and organize ideas, but we'll also clearly analyze its limitations and the need for critical self-reflection.

From there, we move on to academic writing. From developing outlines and arguments to improving style and clarity, AI can be a valuable tool. We demonstrate how to work with drafts, detect inconsistencies, and avoid common errors that often cause problems in academia.

Another section is dedicated to learning with AI. Explaining complex texts, clarifying concepts, reviewing content, and checking one's own understanding are especially valuable uses if the right questions are asked. The goal is to use AI actively, not passively.

Finally, we use AI as an intellectual sparring partner. Not as a substitute for our own thinking, but as an interlocutor that helps to compare arguments, raise objections, and explore other perspectives. This is where AI's greatest real value often lies: thinking better, not thinking less.

The course is designed for students of any discipline. No prior knowledge is required. The goal is to gain confidence in using AI and learn how to integrate it productively and responsibly into university studies.
