It’s an exciting time for learning iOS development. Years ago, if you wanted to write an iOS app, you needed to learn an obscure language called Objective-C and then spend hours of your time configuring provisioning profiles and wrangling with certificates. The process was error prone with little quality documentation.
These days, you just need to download the Playgrounds app from the app store and you are ready to begin. While you still need to the programming language Swift, the difficulty curve is quite gradual compared to the sheer cliff of past. Best still, you can write some code and see the end result as you type it.
This course will get up to speed with the Swift language and related frameworks such as SwiftUI. By the end, you’ll create a fun maze app that you can build on. This lesson will get you started with the process. In the lesson, you will:
- Identify the purpose of the Swift Playgrounds app and describe how to use it to write Swift code.
- Describe the purpose of variables.
- Explain the relationship between variables and data types.
- Identify the purpose of an object and detail the purposes of methods.
