The Garage is pleased to welcome Keith Mountin & Meegan Beckmann from Apple Inc, to teach an exciting, hand-on workshop on iOS app development with Xcode and Swift.
App development, specifically mobile development is becoming more prevalent and having exposure to programming languages is an important skill to be successful in the evolving job market.
Apple’s new Swift programming language is used for software development on iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch, and macOS computers. With Xcode 8, we made the process of getting access to our IDE free and easy. With this summer’s release of Swift 3.0 we now have a comprehensive collection of learning resources to help you with the tools, techniques, and concepts needed to build iOS apps.
We invite you to attend this hands-on session to learn the basics of Xcode and participate in a discussion of what it looks like to program in Swift, the tools of the trade and why you should consider adding this language to your résumé.
To participate in the class we ask you to bring a Mac loaded with the latest OS and the latest version of Xcode 8, an AppleID and an iOS 10.x running device (iPhone or iPads) and cable, since you will be writing code and loading it on your device.
Session Prerequisites
- Xcode 8: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12 (download, install and launch it - let it do all the updates)
- You will need macOS version 10.11.5 or later installed
- An iOS Device running iOS 10 and a cable
- A working AppleID
Space is limited to a total of 60 participants. Please register for your free ticket today!
