What is a double in xcode?

What is the best way to learn iOS/Mac OS software development with Xcode?

  • Is it posible to build IOS apps in windows? I have recently installed XCODE 4.3.2 (without IOS SDK) in mountain lion. I want to learn how to develop IOS application using objective C or C++ or JAVA(if possible). But first I need to know objective C and how to build an app using objective C. I want to know what books or video tutorials are the best to learn these as soon as possible. Also which version of IOS SDK should I install with XCODE 4.3.2.

  • Answer:

    The best way is to do a course or read a book. First you need to become a paid up developer, (well its not needed per se but it gives you access to a lot more information as well as the Developer forums) and then go looking for a course. There is one place I highly recommend and thats and another is the Stanford Free @https://itunes.apple.com/au/course/developing-ios-7-apps-for/id733644550 course. The Stanford course has a great community at piazza (dot) com and very helpful. They as well as the Udemy courses are updated periodically when the iOS changes or new Tech comes in. Ive personally gotten some good deals on Udemy, and the best course going around at the moment is @https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-ios-7-course-learn-by-building-14-apps/  and their followup course @https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-ios-game-course-build-a-flappy-bird-clone/ and if you want to get really into gaming, then do the Unity 3D course @https://www.udemy.com/unity-3d-master-class-game-development-for-beginners/ All highly recommended and its how I got into iOS Developing.

Get the latest version of Xcode, it comes with the SDK go to http://developer.apple.com and look for Getting started. You will learn everything you need to know to get you started and where to look for everything else.

Yes you can build Ios application in windows by insatlling mac os in virtual machine but it will consume more ram . Another way you can build your Ios app using cross platform framework like http://www.phonegap.com or http://www.appcelerator.com . Just install latest version of XCode and it'll install latest version of SDK automatically, Stay updated with new updates because sometime new updates means a lot. P.S. Always use http://developer.apple.com/ guideline to learn Ios development bcz first update of guideline will come there.

• As others have said, avoid Windows. • You will have to learn either Objective-C, Swift or both. • If you're interested in game development, checkout https://www.bloc.io/swiftris-build-your-first-ios-game-with-swift. • At https://www.bloc.io, you can learn https://www.bloc.io/iOS by building real apps with the help of an experienced programmer. • As others have said, stay updated with the latest version of Xcode and iOS in order to have the latest simulators. Hope this helps!

1. Get a Mac. Don't waste time on a Windows setup. 2 Pay the 99$ for a developer license. 3 Start developing simple apps. 4 Watch the free tutorials on the net. 5 Put all error messages onto Google. StackOverflow mostly has answers on just about everything, often with sample code. 6 Read books. Ray Wenderlich has some really good ones, as well as online tutorials. 7 You are lucky. Apple has just opened the door to Swift, which in time will replace Objective C. So you may save a ton of time not having to deal with memory mumbo-jumbo. Good luck and enjoy.
