SwiftUI Views and Layout Basics

This unit introduces foundational SwiftUI view types, modifiers, and basic layout containers. Students learn to build, style, and arrange Text, Image, and Button components using ContentView, VStack, and HStack to prepare for composing multi-screen interfaces in later units.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the role of ContentView and the SwiftUI view hierarchy to plan simple interface structures
• Apply view modifiers and modifier chaining to alter appearance, layout, and behavior of views
• Demonstrate creation and configuration of Text, Image, and Button views, including assets, system images, labels, actions, and basic accessibility attributes
• Construct adaptive layouts using VStack and HStack with spacing, alignment, and nesting to arrange UI components for varying screen sizes
