Code Academy 2021 - Project 1

BreakingBadFan-App

The main idea of the Breaking Bad Fan iOS application is to allow users to explore episodes and characters of the show. In the App, users can save and revisit their favorite quotes of the show's characters. They can also see which quotes are most liked by the other users of the application.

The Breaking Bad Fan Application was developed following the requirements provided by CodeAcademy iOS Advanced Course. The aim was to demonstrate the skills and principles learned during the first part of the course. These, among others, include:

• Standard UIKit Framework Elements
• Creating UI Elements using Xibs and Storyboards
• Networking
• Parsing Data with JSON
• Delegate Pattern
• Data Persistence using User Defaults and Keychain

This application uses Breaking Bad API: @ https://breakingbadapi.com.
