IOS 8 APP DEVELOPMENT DEVELOP YOUR OWN APP FAST AND EASY This book is a guide on how to develop iOS 8 apps. The development of iOS 8 apps entails the use of Swift (a programming language). You will learn how to set up your environment for Swift by downloading and installing xCode onto your machine. The basic syntax that is used in Swift is discussed in this book. Swift data types are discussed, and you will learn how to use the various data types. Optionals, operators, and constants are explored, thus, you will learn how to use them. Decision making statements and loops, which are essential in the development of iOS 8 apps, are explored in detail; thus, you will be in a position to write apps with the ability to make decisions. Classes and functions, which are essential in apps, are explored. Structures, which are elements for data storage, are explored in detail. The property of inheritance is discussed. You will also be guided on how to create a simple app such as an interactive notification in Swift. You will learn how to replicate the Twitter bird zoom animation startup animation. Swift protocols, which are essential for development of iOS 8 apps, are discussed. Here is a preview of what you'll learn:
