macOS Apprentice is a sequence of multi-chapter tutorials the place you’ll study growing native
macOS apps in Swift, utilizing each SwiftUI — Apple’s latest person interface expertise — and AppKit — the
venerable UI framework. Alongside the way in which, you’ll study a number of methods to execute Swift code and also you’ll construct
two totally featured apps from scratch.
Should you’re new to macOS and Swift, or to programming normally, studying how you can write an app can appear
extremely overwhelming.
That’s why you want a information that:
- Reveals you how you can write an app step-by-step.
- Makes use of tons of illustrations and screenshots to make every little thing clear.
- Guides you in a enjoyable and easy-going method.
You’ll begin on the very starting. The primary part assumes you’ve got little to no data of programming in Swift.
It walks you thru putting in Xcode after which teaches you the fundamentals of the Swift programming language. Alongside the way in which,
you’ll discover a number of alternative ways to run Swift code, making the most of the truth that you’re growing natively
on macOS.

As a substitute of simply masking a listing of options, macOS Apprentice does one thing rather more vital: It explains how all of the
constructing blocks match collectively and what’s concerned in constructing actual apps. You’re not going to create fast instance applications that
show how you can accomplish a single function. As a substitute, you’ll develop full, fully-formed apps, whereas exploring a lot of
the complexities and joys of programming macOS.
How is that this e-book completely different than macOS by Tutorials?
Our different e-book on constructing apps for macOS, macOS by Tutorials, is designed
for builders who’ve a stable background in iOS growth and need to make the leap to growing native macOS apps.
This e-book, macOS Apprentice, is designed to show new builders how you can construct macOS apps whereas assuming they’ve little to
no expertise with Swift or every other a part of the Apple growth ecosystem.
