About This Tutorial
In this iOS app development tutorial, you will learn how to create apps for iPhone and iPad devices. Expert trainer and published author Tony Bove introduces you to using the iOS Software Development Kit (SDK) and Xcode to build apps for the iPhone, iPad and Universal apps. Even if you have never programmed before or built apps before, by the end of this iOS app development tutorial you will be fully capable of building apps and submitting them to the App Store.

Before you even start building an app, Tony takes you through what makes a good app, and the limitations you will face on the iPhone and iPad platforms. You will learn how to design a good user interface, how to use the iOS simulator, how to program in Xcode, and how an app runs. From there, you will jump right into building apps: designing the interface, including iAds in your app, animating, timing, and much more. You will also learn how to build iPad specific apps to take advantage of a larger screen and additional features. Finally, you will learn how to package your apps, and prepare them for submission to the app store.

Mind Mastery

Everyday Mind Mastery

Learn the easiest way to master your mind and control your life with Ben Franklin's 13x4 and some neat algorithms.




PRICE:Free
Welcome to Everyday Mind Mastery, the leading personal development course on Udemy.

Over 50,000 students CURRENTLY enrolled, and growing at around 150-200 students per day. Every day. Everyday :)

So, you might ask - what's the fuss all about?

Well, there are two reasons people seem to like it:

1. Students who do this course end up feeling better instantly, and start creating change in their lives instantly, just by applying the simplest of everyday algorithms in their everyday lives. (In 10 minutes you will know what I mean.)

2. Students immediately start applying the power of one thing at a time to tackle the mastery of any goal; incrementally, marginally, successively.

You want to become better at parenting? This course can help you.

You want to become a better leader? This course can help you.

You want to have a more successful business? It helps with that too.

Why? How? Really?

Yes, and it's all about making it as easy as possible, (but no easier!)

So, do you ever ask yourself, "I KNOW I could be doing more with my life, but HOW?"

Let's face it. You have a busy life with a zillion distractions... and this can lead to a loss of focus, and not getting what you want out of life.

You join the gym in January but by the end of February...

The guitar you bought is in the spare room gathering dust...

You've got a copy of 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' on your bookshelf, you know it's a great book yet you haven't opened it since 1995...

You decided to learn French, and after 3 weeks you've not got very far and so you decide that maybe Spanish would be better...and 3 years later you're still just speaking loud English whenever you go abroad...

Sound familiar? You're not alone. Most of the population is in the same boat as you. It's pretty normal. Only a tiny percentage of the people on the planet have the self-discipline of an Olympic athlete.

And I for one, am certainly not in that group. I don't have an iron will. I don't even have a tin will. My will is probably more like cardboard if I'm honest.

Therefore the standard approach to achieving your goals just doesn't really appeal to me, since the standard approach involves ME having to change.

The standard approach is basically just 'have more self-discipline', just 'get better'.

That's why I created a different approach. One that works for me, for (almost) all of us. And I didn't even have to do that much as the great Benjamin Franklin had already done most of the work. I just added a few tweaks, made it even more accessible and added a few thought algorithms to make it even easier to implement.

This approach is to use a system that gets the job done with minimum willpower, this approach involves not having to change.

So, you have two options:

1. Change

2. Be yourself + Use a System

Choose easy. Choose Option 2. Make the smart choice. Take the red pill.

So, instead of increasing our willpower, let's use a system that works with a minimum amount of will. We're still going to have to do the work, it's just that we won't have to use up any of our energy forcing ourselves to do the work.

I'm not afraid of work. In fact, none of us are really afraid of work. We're afraid that we won't stick at things because that's what we've done in the past. We're afraid that if we try we might fail, and so after a while, we'd rather not try.

We're afraid we're not good enough.

We're afraid we don't have enough willpower.

We're not afraid of doing the work, we're afraid that our work won't work!



So, the big question is what's going to be easier for you?

Carrying on the same way, making resolutions, getting disappointed, giving up on yourself, starting to wonder if you're ever going to get what you want out of life?

Or using a system that gets it done with minimum willpower.

Get involved - enrol in the course and join over 50,000 students who are already finding that there just might be a better way...

Oxford Physicist, Internationally Published Author and 'Thought Engineer', Tom Cassidy, has created a system for helping people crack the deepest issues of their lives: self-worth, self-belief, goal-achieving, feeling good, achieving sustainable health and deeply fulfilling relationships.

Tom has combined the wisdom of hundreds of years of the study of global philosophies, human effectiveness, modern findings of behavioural science, recent breakthroughs in the understanding of brain physiology and even the results of quantum mechanics into a practical system for getting things done.

The system takes 'One thing at a time' to a new level: it's monotasking-on-steroids. And best of all, it requires the least willpower of anything you've ever tried. Other than sitting on the couch, of course!

It's basically the shizzle is what I'm saying...

Coding for Entrepreneurs Basic

98 reviews
enrolled

Remember when you couldn't walk? Of course not. Who can?

Learning to code is much like learning to walk...except it happens much later in life.

Never coded before? No problem.

Entrepreneurs like you are a rare breed. You create incredible businesses and come up with ideas that change the world.

Technology has made the 21st century, the century of the entrepreneur. Thanks to the power of the internet, you can reach a global audience in minutes.

The question is...do you have the skills to be able to take advantage of this incredible opportunity?

If you’re starting (or have started) a business in today’s tech driven economy, then you’ve got to understand the code that’s driving your business.

Imagine asking others to create your software but you’ve no idea how it works?
Imagine not knowing the time and effort involved in realizing your idea?
Imagine having an incredible idea but you don’t have the skills to get it started?
I’m Not Going To Teach You Tons of Coding Languages...

Instead of spending infinity boring you with the intricacies of a multitude of languages, Coding For Entrepreneurs will teach you the exact languages you need to know to launch any type of eCommerce site & build landing pages that convert browsers into buyers.

The best way to learn is by doing - you’ll never learn anything if you sit and watch videos or read a PDF all day. We get you into action and enable you to achieve results immediately.

You’ll get in introduction in:

Python
Django
HTML
CSS
Don’t worry if these look scary...if you can multiply and add numbers then you can code!

Coding is extremely logical. Take Python for example - it reads just like the English language less a couple of odd characters.

We Put Special Emphasis On Django...Why?

- Django is based in Python 
- It’s fast, simple, effective, secure, and ideal for "perfectionists with deadlines"
- Built-In User Login (authentication) System
- Web-based Admin system (built - in)
- Template system that allows basic knowledge of HTML/CSS to design the front-end. 
- Growing Community for Help/Advice/Best Practices .... and freelance clients (or jobs).
- Easy to implement & Launch
But I’ve Been Told That I Need To Learn C, C#, Objective C and Java?

The truth is that you could learn all of these languages and use them to further enhance your coding.

But why bother?

You’re an entrepreneur, NOT a professional coder. Would you rather learn how to code something quickly and start building your business empire or spend years debugging something that may never launch?

It’s time to take your future into your own hands and learn how to start Coding For Entrepreneurs today!

How To Be Ultra Successful With This Class

- Watch the videos and follow me and do exactly as I do
- If you get stuck, rewind and rewatch while copying me again
- If you’re still stuck, ask questions! I WILL respond to you really quickly! 
- Months later if you get stuck, come back and watch the videos all over again :) 
- Do NOT take notes. Implement what is happening as you see it. 
- When finished, repeat the classes. Start fresh. Delete Everything. Do it again
- Repetition is key: it’s like practicing to master a golf swing or a basketball shot 
- When you get stuck ASK QUESTIONS - I’ll help you 
- Remember that learning this will put you light years ahead of other entrepreneurs


Windows Users:

"The easiest way to take this course in terms of learning is through a Linux VM. On Windows, download Virtualbox and a Linux .iso (e.g. Ubuntu). Once downloaded, open Virtualbox, follow the steps to create a Ubuntu VM, select the .iso from your hard drive, install Ubuntu and you're good to go with all the commands mentioned in this course. The only extra command I've had so far to install pip is 'sudo apt-get install python-setuptools'." -- Harry (student)

Introduction to Public Speaking by University of Washington

At a Glance
Self-paced online course
Statement of Accomplishment: None
Subtitles: English
About this Course
A report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers shows that employers want job candidates with strong communication skills. Similarly, educational success also requires the ability to articulate your thoughts clearly. In this class, we will study the principles of public speaking; critically examine our own and others’ speeches through interactive practice.

Unlike many oral communication courses and textbooks, this class spends a fair bit of time working through the unique traits of oral versus written communication in order to help students prepare speeches that are easier to deliver orally and understand aurally. The class's focus on understanding the key parts of an argument and drafting clear and concise arguments translates directly to other academic assignments. In service of this goal, we will study the principles of argumentation and arrangement; critically examine our own speeches and the speeches of others. By becoming a student of public speaking, you join a long history of rhetorical study dating back to ancient Greece.
