What you'll learn:
- Place your own amazing desktop apps into the hands of thousands of people through the Mac App Store
- Become completely proficient in macOS app development using the latest version of Apple's language, Swift 4, along with best practices and techniques
- Build your own desktop apps for the Mac
- Broaden your coding skills by learning to program on a different Apple platform
This course is produced from the"Hacking with macOS" series of tutorials, which are written and authored by the award winning Swift programmer,Paul Hudson,and these videos were made with his permissionand support.You can always be guaranteed you're learning the latest andgreatest Apple technologies in the Hacking with Swift tutorials.Here youlearn smart, powerful, and expressive Swift 5.0, the way it was meant to be written.You learnwhile you make real-world desktop apps, which means you get to apply your new skills immediately and see them work in context.Hacking with Swift is one of the most popular Swift tutorial series online,which uses an approach that teaches you Swift programming incredibly quickly, and you end up with a huge library of finished projectsthat are yours to develop further, or ship to the MacApp Store.Paulhas received high praise from the creator of the Swift language,Chris Lattner, for his outstanding method of teaching, and series of Swifttutorials.And working together with iOS developer Steve DeStefano, the Hacking with Swift series ofprogrammingtraining videos are simply the fastest way to learn how to code in the Apple eco-system.
Note: All finished projects and source code have been update to Swift 5.2. So even though some lectures are shown using Swift 4.2, they are currently being re-recorded with the latest Swift 5.2 code - just reference the source code for any update you might need until they are ready very soon.
Check out all ofPaul Hudson's Swift tutorials and booksat HackingWithSwift - from beginner to pro, Paul will teach youto write Swift code in very little time.
Want to learn how to build amazing desktop apps?
Want to code your own custom buttons for the new MacBook Pro “Touch Bar”?
This course has all the step by stepinstruction you need to create awesome apps to submit to the Mac App Store. And the Mac App Store is also a great source of revenue as it only has a fraction of the number of apps that the iOS App Store has, and typically youcharge more for a Mac app.
Building a Mac desktop appuses the exact same Swift 5language as iOS apps…there are differences of course from iOS, such asthe macOSuser interface uses windows instead of screens for an iPhone, butif your coming from iOS, the transition isseamless...an example is on iOS we use a UIImageView,andon macOS we use an NSImageView…simple right?.
The term "Hacking with macOS" means we are "playing" with the Swift language, and using it in unique and interesting ways.
Desktop apps are fun to build, simply addyour own unique creativity, and follow along in the lectures, and before you know it,you've created a masterpiece.....how cool is it to have your veryown creationright on yourprized MacBook Pro, and on thousands of other MacBook Pros?
This course makesuse of annotations,callouts, diagrams,highlighting, and deep explanationsthat help makecomplex subject matter, much easier to grasp, and guidesyou along the path of the code, each step ofthe way.
This course alsomakes the perfect reference toolkit, to be used in conjunction with the Apple docs, sothat you can go back and scrub through any of the lectures very quickly to pull out relevant code or instructionthat you need, as there's no wasted chatter here, it's strictly on point with Swift 5.0and macOS.
