Hello, I am new in iOS development. What is the best way of learning iOS and Programming also?

Hello Vikas, First I appreciate you for choosing iOS development as your career.Everyone learn and teach coding, but only less people teach "quality crafting code". Now a days trusted and reputed companies in mobile application development are not looking for developers who only just code, but they are looking for developers who has the following skills.. #1 Swift Swift is the programming language Apple created specifically for developing their apps. This is the language of all future development for iOS. So you have to know it! Our own experts acknowledge it’s not a “small” language, but you don’t have to know everything to land a junior position. What you WILL need to do is make sure you’re comfortable with: Basic syntax Optionals Control Flow (If and Switch Statements) Classes, inheritance & initialization Error handling Objective-C Interoperability For those with programming experience who want to become familiar with Swift, check out Udacity’s Swift Syntax course. #2 Spatial Reasoning The ability to think in 3-D, and visualize the spatial relations between objects, is critical for successful App Developers. Simply put, when you design interfaces for devices like the iPhone, Apple Watch, or the new Apple TV, you must be cognizant of how users will interact with your application. So you need to: understand the types of controls/inputs available (and popular) for the different platforms, and be a user of the devices you’re targeting so that you can reason about them! While some people may more naturally evidence this ability, rest assured it is a learned skill, and can be mastered with practice, and through building real projects. #3 Design Guidelines Successful iOS apps are known and admired for being supremely intuitive. The reason for this is that these apps adhere to a strict set of design guidelines. How data is stored and displayed to the user is handled in very specific ways. In order to build your own intuitive apps, you need to know and understand these design patterns. That’s why, if you pursue becoming an iOS developer through our Nanodegree programs, you’ll learn critical things like: MVC (Model-View-Controller): This is the cornerstone of any iOS or OSX App, and it defines how data is stored, how it is presented to the user, and how it is updated in response to user interactions. Delegate Pattern: This is a very common way of passing information among objects in Cocoa (one sender, one receiver) Notifications: another common way of passing information (one sender, multiple receivers) #4 Networking To understand the importance of networking to app development, first try to think of an app on your phone that doesn’t interact with the web. Could you think of one? Chances are either you couldn’t, or it took you a bit to think of one, because almost every app we interact with talks to the web in some way. For that reason, it’s crucial for you to understand how to send and receive data from the network. How this is done is through something commonly referred to as JSON, which stands for JavaScript Object Notation. That might sound complicated if you’re not familiar, but it’s a really a standard format that’s actually fairly straightforward. At Udacity, we’ve got a full course devoted to networking: iOS Networking with Swift. #5 Core Data Here’s what one of our Subject Matter Experts recently had to say about Core Data: “Learning Core Data is like exercising: the first few days feel like torture, but by the second week, you can’t believe you lived without it!” Core Data is essentially THE persistence framework for Apple devices. Imagine if every time you used an app, your data was lost. This would be similar to the early days of video games, where you had to beat Super Mario Brothers in one run since you couldn’t save progress. Core Data is the most important framework for storing data on Apple devices. We’ve got a great course on it here: iOS Persistence and Core Data. #6 Grand Central Dispatch Colloquially known as GCD, Grand Central Dispatch is what allows you to add what’s called “concurrency” to your apps, thereby making it possible for multiple tasks to run simultaneously with ease. Why is this important? Our apps do a lot at once: pulling data from a network, displaying information on screen, reading touch inputs from the user…running all of these things at one time would put incredible strain on the user’s phone: it would either run really slowly or crash. So you need to learn about concurrent programming, so you don’t cause crashes! Check out our Grand Central Dispatch course. #7 Git and GitHub Effective use of version control is an important and useful skill for any developer working on long-lived (or even medium-lived) projects, and is essential to working with teams. We consider this so important that we actually partnered directly with GitHub to teach it! ~ All of the above skills are taught in our programs, but they’re not exclusive to them. There are many paths to a successful iOS Developer career. We’re proud to offer exemplary programs and courses that will teach you exactly what you need to know, but no matter the learning path you opt to pursue, mastering the above should be a part of your plan if you’ve got your sights set on becoming an iOS developer. More than 70% of organizations are implementing some kind of mobile strategy, and they all need to teach professionals who can get the job done.” So if you’re ready to be in demand, iOS developer is a great career choice! And remember, AppCreativ has programs that teach all of this and more. If you have little to no programming experience, check out our Beginning iOS App Development program, and for experienced programmers.

Hi Vikas, Thanks for asking. Start with understanding the basics of Object Oriented Programming (OOPS) and then a programming language that extensively uses OOPS. Java would be the best bet and you will get lots of videos on you-tube to learn them. No big Deal here! your enthusiasm is the key. Next, you would learn about Swift. You might get doubts whether to learn Objective C or Swift with each having it's unique pros and cons. Swift is developed by Apple for iOS and that definitely makes things more support friendly. Also, ensure to register for an Apple developer account and install Xcode for interactive Development. Also, in case you need support for training's I believe you should find lots of trainers in UrbanPro who could help you out with the learnings. Hope this helps. Thanks, D.Dutta read less

As you say you are new in iOS development, I assume you have done some programming before. You can directly jump into free tutorials on the Raywenderlich website which has the best quality tutorials. Alternatively you can take an online or classroom course. Enrolling in a course is always most effective as chances are huge that you will complete the course. Buying an online course on Udemy can also be an option but trust me, less than 5% students who buy an online course completes them. If your basics are good, you can also learn programming from the Stanford iOS course available for free on YouTube. What I will suggest you is - Think of an idea of an app you will like to make. Then going through stanford courses and online tutorials, try to achieve it. Or, look for a trainer who can teach you one on one and help you develop your app. This way you can also publish the app on the app store by the time your course finishes. In-case you need an online iOS trainer, feel free to get in touch with me. I can not only teach you how to make amazing apps but can also help you to make an app of your choice during the course. :) read less
