IOS Development
IOS is a mobile operating system. That advanced Apple’s creation is used on millions of IOS devices worldwide and the popularity of the solution is only increasing.
The high end IOS platform allows developers to write high-quality code for building most innovative mobile applications powering iPhones, IPods and iPads. The best way to learn IOS development is to start to create your own app. You can try out newly things that you have learned.
Primarily, IOS was intended for compact devices with small screens and the apps were created mostly using C++ programming languages. Nowadays, more advanced IOS versions support applications written mostly in Objective-C and Swift. According to the view of the widespread use of the Swift in recent years, IOS is seen as an attractive prospect for developers.
There no doubt that the success of an IOS development depends on tools the developer uses while building their project. In order to create new age applications for iPhones and iPads, developers need to have a proper set of tools able to take their IOS solutions to a qualitatively new level.
Let’s see what skills we need to have in order to become an IOS developer.
1. Swift – it is a programming language that apple created specifically for developing their apps. This is the language of all future development for IOS. It is a powerful programming language for macOS, Ios, watchOS and tvOS.
Swift was built to be fast. The syntax and library have also been tuned to make the most obvious way to write your code also perform the best. Swift is a successor to both the C and Objective-C languages. It includes low level primitives such as types, flow control, and operators.
2. 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 intuitive apps, it is essential to know and understand these design patterns. Design guidelines are sets of recommendations towards good practice in design. They are intended to provide clear instructions to designers and developers on how to adopt specific principles such as intuitiveness, efficiency, learnability and consistency.
3. 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 imagine one of them? The first important thing is 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.
Now we have a little imagination about IOS development. Next time we’ll continue to learn more.
