Apple partners with France-based Simplon for Swift training
By Ryan Daws

Apple has announced a partnership with French vocational school Simplon who will provide Swift programming language training.

Simplon initially plans to launch their Swift training in Paris and Lyon in January. All going to plan, the company will expand to elsewhere in the country.

Participants will enroll in a four-week program which has been developed by Apple itself along with various academic experts.

In addition to the program, Apple will provide funding to recruit more teachers and help with their own training. The Silicon Valley giant will also provide access to hardware including iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

The program will add on to Simplon’s existing seven-month Web development program.

Apple’s program is not entirely philanthropic and, of course, will help to bolster its App Store from the effort. The initiative may even lead to improving Apple’s own future workforce.

Swift is an open source language by Apple but is primarily only used for the company’s platforms. Apple has been aggressive in Swift training around the world, targeting educational institutions as well as independent learners.

Earlier this month, Apple announced it would be providing over 2,000 free coding sessions during EU Code Week – which ran October 6th-21st – with at least one free session every day in every Apple store throughout Europe.

The partnership with Simplon is expected to reach over 1,600 people in the first two years.

Framer
The thing about Framer is that you have to code with CoffeeScript.
But! I have to say that when you get the hang of it, it’s pretty awesome tool that has an unlimited amount of options.
You can basically do everything that’s possible on the web, like using live data or create 100 different unique projects in 100 days.
it has it’s own design tool inside but also integrates perfectly with Sketch.
If you are not highly experienced with Framer I still recommend to give it a shot. It has a pretty decent and easy learning curve.

Compatibility: Only for Mac users.
