How to get started I often get emails asking, “How do I get started with building apps?”. At first, it seems like a silly question to me because I see so many resources available for making apps. But then I realize it’s not that simple: As a beginner, you might not even know what you’re looking for. Do I need a mac? What’s Swift and Objective-C? What’s this Xcode thing? What sort of equipment do I need?

And to top it all off, there’re a lot of outdated resources out there. The worst part is that you might not even be able to tell that it’s no longer relevant if you’re just starting out. Talk about frustration and huge amounts of wasted time! Orientation It’s time to catch you up to speed and give you the lay of the land. Let’s do this in a quick question/answer format! What do I need to learn in order to build my app?

. What is the latest version of ms office 365 for mac. minecraft (or simply minecraft in macOS) is the folder Minecraft creates to run from. This folder includes the.jar files, sound, music, resource packs, personal options, worlds, etc. Locating the.minecraft folder can be vital for installing a resource pack, or to locate any made screenshots.

I recommend to focus on the core/basic skills first which you’ll find from the lessons below. After that, you’ll have to identify which traits your app has in order to know what to learn next. For example, if your app needs to have users register and login then you’ll need to have a database to store that data. I’m writing an article that can help you with identifying those traits once you’ve completed the basic training. Make sure you’re on my newsletter to be notified when it’s published! How long will it take for me to build my app?

This is a really hard question to answer because some apps are easy, some are complex and everyone learns at different speeds. Also some people have really busy schedules so they can’t dedicate much time to learning. In terms of number of hours, I would say at least 20 to get some of the fundamentals down.

I would also recommend that you try to find a little bit of time each day to learn rather than saving it all for a Sunday evening because if you wait 7 days in between lessons, you’ll spend a lot of time backtracking to remember where you left off. Should I learn Swift or Objective-C? Swift all the way because it’s what Apple has transitioned to. It’s way easier for beginners to pick up and now that it’s open source, Swift is beginning to be used for other things as well such as server side development. Lastly, it’ll also make it a lot easier to find tutorials on the net for Swift because most educators have moved to teaching with Swift.
