App Development with Xcode

Breakout Presentation

Presented by

David Brown

St Mary’s Anglican Girls School

Xcode is an integrated development environment for macOS containing a suite of tools developed by Apple for developing software for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS.

This workshop will focus on the basic development of a single view application using Xcode.

Participants will be shown how to navigate the Xcode interface, import assets, add buttons and images and use Swift code to create a basic app that will look great on any iOS device.

If you have been working with block coding, scripting, Python or some other language you will find this the next step in your coding/development journey.

 

Intended Audience:

All those interested in STEM, Middle School, Lower Secondary (7 – 10), Senior Secondary (11 – 12)

 

Requirements:

Participants will need a Mac with MacOS 10.12 and Xcode 8.2 or greater.
