The App Academy was established in 2014 as the first Dutch coding school, and now offers intensive 8-week in-person iOS Development bootcamps in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The curriculum covers Swift programming fundamentals, Git, SwiftUI, XCode, and the newest Apple technologies. Bootcamp students will also learn app development principles, model-view controller structure, storyboards, test-driven development, and agile software development. The App Academy teaches students how to manage team software projects and effective communication skills. By the bootcamp’s completion, students will build a native viable product version of their own app idea. All bootcamps will be taught in English.   The in-person iOS bootcamp has been tailored to freelancers, students, and entrepreneurs who want to realize an app idea, build up their coding skill-set and learn all aspects of app development. iOS bootcamp applicants are required to have a strong level of computer literacy and a Mac with the latest version of XCode.

    Best way to jumpstart a career as iOS developer

    At first you feel overwhelmed by all the information thrown at you.
    but the teacher Daniel Salber really takes his time with you and makes sure you understand a concept before moving on to the next one.

    I attended the Advanced iOS Bootcamp that takes 6 weeks.
    Even though it starts at the basics, it quickly ramps up the difficulty in a way that makes it manageable but also really engaging and challenging.
    The bootcamp asks you to really devote yourself to it for the...

    Great iOS Talen Program for programmers

    I started this boot camp with about half a year of iOS experience. I had done a handful of projects for myself and one project for a company. Even though I was doing alright in the field I wanted to get more knowledgeable and experienced in a short time, which is where the boot camp came into play.

    Programming experience is required, not necessarily Swift.
    Our lecturer was a developer with 30+ years experience of which 10 years iOS. He is more modern in his code and approach th...

    This program is absolutely awesome. I attended the 12-week iOS bootcamp in may 2017.  It's the best and fastest way to learn iOS development In 12 weeks. The teacher and curriculum were amazing and the pace was really fast. Bootcamp at is finest. I had no programming knowledge but made 5 really cool apps I can show my future employers.

    Life changing moment

    Before the start of the App Academy I had zero experience with coding. They assured me that that wasn't neccesary, so I took the jump and went. 
    It was a very intensive, but learnfull experience. Our teacher Daniel Salbers was a very experienced developer with lots of patience. After the course I had some difficulty finding a job, but after 2 months I started as junior developer at a wonderful company and I'm still happy that I decided to turn my life arround and start a career as dev...

    Kickstart for a new carreer!

    While I was searching for a job within fashion, I just couldn't find something that felt completely right. This bootcamp appealed to me because you quickly learn a new skill and a new profession. Unsure if I could learn it all within 3 months, I started the bootcamp and dived in head first. Due to the high level of the teachers and the intensity of the bootcamp, I felt like I could learn it all within 3 months. The environment is easy-going and stimulating, with room to make as ma...

    Exceeded expectations

    Having only done some Swift tutorials online prior to the iOS bootcamp, my knowledge was very limited and honestly I was not sure I would be able to learn how to code in just three months.

    Although at times, the course is extremely challenging and I felt confused at the beginning (especially during week 2 and 3) it all started making a lot of sense shortly after. So as long as you really apply yourself and try to follow the instructions and tasks you are given, you will soon real...

    Good starting point for non-programmers

    While there are many aspects that could be covered, I will review two aspects that personally I found most important during my bootcamp at The App Academy. That is the language that we were learning and the way we were taught it (and what future prospects did it set).

    Language:
    Probably one of the greatest things about The App Academy is that you get to learn how to work with the newest and most promising iOS developing language, Swift. While Objective-C still remains widely...

    TAABootCamp Fall 2015

    Joining the Bootcamp was the best thing that I did, looking back on this year (2015). I come from a design and architecture background with little experience in CSS and web tools. Stye of Bootcamp training worked for me, as it was intensive and formed good coding habits and practices. In order to 100% accomplish this course be prepared to work after hours too. I think there are two sides of this training one was learning the principles and syntax of coding and other working with othe...

    I had been wanting to change careers for years, but i didn't know what to go for. One thing i did know was that i wanted to learn a skill that would allow me to work from anywhere in the world. I love traveling and i thought it would be great if i could combine it with work. After a while i got really interested in apps and all the possibilities they offer.  With no coding experience what so ever i started look...

    Review Amsterdam Bootcamp

    The bootcamp started with an introduction in Swift using playgrounds and to get familiar with programming and XCode. The program used to write iOS apps in. Here after we started working in Objective C to build small apps and to learn how an app is constructed. We ended with mixing in Swift, to learn how this language can be used in todays apps. 

    In the beginning you keep asking yourself if you are in the right place. You feel totally overwelmed because everyth...

    Learned a lot

    The first few weeks were really hard and at times I got the feeling that it all went over my head, but when we started on our first project I discoverd that we did learn a lot and at the time we started the second project I know alot better what I was doing.
