My advice to those new to programming is to stick with it. Once you “get it”, though, you get it from then on. Kind of like learning your ABCs, it’s hard to understand how these letters form sentences that you can read and write. I remember it seeming very vague and abstract in the beginning. As a concept, code can be a bit difficult to wrap your head around at first. On the other hand, those new to programming should be prepared for a challenge. Apple has even built apps for learning Swift into its devices, so anyone with an Apple device can start learning it right away. Part of what makes Swift so easy to learn is all of the available resources for learning it. I’d say it’s about on par with Python, a programming language that was designed to be simple and intuitive. While I am not fluent in Swift, my short experience with it is that it is a relatively easy language to learn. These can be used to develop for Apple devices but will be a bit more multipurpose and broadly useful. If you aren’t sure you want to learn Swift, then skip to the end of this article and check out some of the alternative languages I cover. For that reason, I recommend learning Swift to those who are either new to programming (it’s easy to learn) or who are sure that they want to focus on the Apple ecosystem. You won’t be able to build apps for any other purpose, which can make it a bit of a one-trick pony. On the other hand, Swift can be limiting, as it is only used for Apple devices. It’ll offer a higher level of control, better integration, Apple-specific features, and more. Swift, however, is more advantageous for Apple apps. You can use other languages like React Native and Python. It’s important to note that you don’t have to use Swift to develop apps for Apple devices. It was developed and released by Apple as a native language to build apps for Apple devices. This post will cover what Swift is, why knowing it is valuable, how to learn Swift on Mac and iPad, and some alternatives to Swift if you don’t feel it’s the right language for you.Īs mentioned, Swift is Apple’s programming language.
That means if you want to build apps for iOS, you should probably learn Swift first. All of Apple’s devices use it to run apps. That’s why I wanted to use this post as an opportunity to cover how to learn Swift. Programming gives you a deeper understanding of how your computer works, enables you to automate your work with useful tools, and of course, it’s a skill that you can turn into a career. From automation to regex to mastering the Terminal, something I’m extremely passionate about here at AppleToolBox is programming.
