This free online course guides you through the Apple integrated development environment and basic iOS app development.

Xcode is a complete developer toolset for creating apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. It brings user interface design, coding, testing, debugging, and submitting to the App Store into a unified workflow. Xcode also supports source code for C, C++, AppleScript, Python, Ruby, and Swift. Xcode includes the GUI tool Instruments, which runs atop a dynamic tracing framework, DTrace, created by Sun Microsystems and released as part of OpenSolaris. Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. Xcode also integrates built-in support for source code management using the Git version control system and protocol. Swift results from the latest research on programming languages, combined with decades of experience building Apple platforms. Writing Swift code is interactive and fun. The syntax is concise yet expressive, and Swift includes modern features developers love. Swift code is safe by design yet also produces software that runs lightning-fast. 

We will install Xcode 9, which provides a completely rebuilt source code management component with seamless Git and GitHub integration. The ability to run multiple concurrent simulators and wirelessly debug on physical devices such as the iPhone and Apple TV makes it very suitable for programming. Object-oriented programming aims to implement real-world entities like inheritance, hiding, polymorphism, and more. The main aim of OOP is to bind together the data and the functions that operate on them so that no other part of the code can access this data except the function in question. OOP focuses on the objects developers want to manipulate rather than the logic required to manipulate them. This programming approach is well-suited for programs that are large, complex, and actively updated or maintained.

If you are working on a project over time, you may want to keep track of the changes made, by whom, and when those changes were made. This becomes increasingly important if you end up having a bug in your code. Git can also be a bit confusing when you first start learning it. Since the introduction of Apple devices, the demand for mobile apps has been steadily growing. As a result, the App Store has become a market leader where mobile users from every corner of our planet can find quality applications to their liking. This course introduces you to Git version control and the terminal basics. You will learn about the various actions you can do with the terminal and set up GitHub.This course outlines a comprehensive step-by-step guide from idea to execution on how to build professional iOS applications.
