A year after launching its VR Developer Nanodegree Udacity, in partnership with Unity is launching another program to prepare  developers for the opportunities offered by new AR/VR technology. 

As with all Udacity Nanodegree programs the emphasis of the new Foundation Nanodegree, which focuses on Apple's ARKit is on gaining credentials to help you get hired. The blog post announcing it starts:

VR job openings are up 800% year-over-year. Combined with the release of ARKit, which now puts AR capability in the pockets of nearly 400 million consumers, demand for skilled developers and designers who can create high-quality immersive content is growing at an unprecedented rate. Industries — from entertainment, healthcare, education, real estate, automotive, retail, and more — are looking to invest in this new technology to reach and engage with their customers.

Learn ARKit is now open, costs $199 and can be completed in a month with 5 hours effort per week. It offers two alternatives - Unity, for which the prerequisites are to be familiar with creating 3D scenes using Unity, developing using C#, and deploying applications to an iPhone or iPad and Swift, for which you need to be familiar with creating iOS applications using Xcode. Whichever you choose you'll learn the fundamentals of AR, build an AR app, and publish your app to the Apple Store.
