How to Learn about IOS

How to Learn about IOS

A colleague asked me how I learned about IOS. I don't necessarily have code for products ~

Sorry, yes, we don't need to. But if we do, we can better communicate with programmers. At least we can understand the same language.

I 'd like to recommend the relevant materials ~

If you have programming experience before, don't read my article. If you don't know what the string is? That's great. You can read my article, maybe you can take a detour ~

I prefer materials in Multi-latitude combinations, so that I can view my resources from multiple perspectives ~ Well, resources are important ~ Therefore, when introducing a document, it will be marked by latitude.

Latitude 1: classify my materials and learning paths based on the Difficulty coefficient;

Second latitude: data is classified by data attributes or sources.

Latitude 3: data is classified based on the association between data and data.

A. Wheat college course

Features: free and hierarchical. After we register and log on, we select the IOS course. Then, the wheat college will show four stages of the course and study at according to his requirements. I will write a special article to comment on the courses of the wheat college and my learning route ~

It is updated to data storage.

Difficulty coefficient: from easy to difficult, each stage of the course has.

Source + attribute: wheat College. Video.

Association with other learning materials: There are many associations with materials from Apple's official developers, especially the courses explained by Sundy, which come from Apple's official website and are authoritative materials.

B. Zhao Zhe's series of courses

This is what I saw on Youku. It can also be downloaded to a local device. Follow Zhao Zhe's public account or Weibo to obtain relevant information. downloading them directly on Baidu cloud disk can save Youku's various advertisements.

Zhao Zhe has a quick version of the course, which translates videos from the official website of apple, but he has also added his understanding, therefore, people with programming basics and poor English skills are suitable for reading his A series of high-speed courses.

Those who do not have programming basics strongly recommend the video of Zhao Zhe S005, which is very detailed and suitable for those who do not have any basics. That is to say, if you don't even know what the strings and operators are, you can learn this series. This series is currently being updated.

Difficulty coefficient: high difficulty coefficient of High-Speed courses + low Difficulty coefficient of low-speed courses

Source + attributes: Developer Conference video translation + self-developed and recorded courses

Association with other learning materials: Developer Conference video

C. Wavelet-Swift series courses

Wavelet is the fastest video player in China. When xcode is still in beta version, the video starts to appear. Of course, there will also be code errors because some requirements have been changed in several beta iterations. However, the wavelet output video is faster, so anxious people can always get interesting information and explanations from him.

However, I only go to the wavelet course when I have no other courses. [wavelet is always the first video, so the meaning of this sentence is, the first video I watch is wavelet ]. However, because the wavelet language is a little slow and gentle, I am distracted or asleep when I listen, and often say a word when I respond: How does this happen?

Of course, I am very grateful for the course of wavelet. I have already completed the course of wavelet. In addition, it seems that people are slow and easy to learn ....

It is updated to Core Data ~

Difficulty coefficient: from low to high

Source + attribute: wavelet personal video

Association with other learning materials: documents on the official website of apple. The Core Data course recommends a book written by foreigners.

D. recommended books on the apple website

D-1.

Start Developing IOS Apps Today)

This book is an entry level. It is also the only Chinese version in so many guidelines/references on the official website of Apple developers. It also describes the importance of this document.

Sundy, a teacher at the wheat Institute, also recommended this book. Before learning the UI, read this book, which is helpful for understanding IOS programming.

If you are a Senior Programmer, reading this book in a magazine won't take much time. For those who do not have the foundation of programming, this book is a "three character classics" level entry book.

Written in OC. But the reason remains unchanged. The content is actually the "IOS development Quick Start" of the wheat Institute. Sundy explained this guide with swift.

Core. Data. by. Tutorials. iOS.8.and. Swift. Edition.2014.12

If you learn swift and various controls, what else do you need to learn? Of course it is a database. The database officially provided by Apple is Core Data. When explaining the database, the teacher of the wheat college said this Core Data, which was introduced in two classes. At that time, the teacher said this: Core Data. I just wanted to finish it all. It would be a book (too many sub-lines. I can't finish it, so it's okay to explain it in two videos ). Bytes

E-1 this book explains how to use Apple's official database core data with swift.

This book is used in the teaching video "Core Data practice in the fifth quarter of SWIFT by wavelet ".

IOS 8 Swift Programming Cookbook_Solutions & Examples for iOS Apps-O 'Reilly (2014) recommend)

This book mainly explains some intermediate and advanced functions and some extensions of IOS. This is a good book for people who want to provide their own IOS development capabilities.

However, this is written by the technical experts in China. There is almost no need to use the storyboard in xcode, all of which are the effects of code implementation... This is definitely a disaster for me, and I cannot do without storyboard.

However, I only read this book to focus on the Core Data chapter, and I have not learned that deeply in other chapters.

F. Stanford Course: Developing IOS8 Apps with Swift

Haha, this white beard professor has been teaching ios app development courses at Stanford, and he was teaching when he had Objective-C programming. When Apple launched swift, his course immediately began to use swift. Foreign courses were very grounded and kept pace with the times! Those courses in China cannot be used after graduation. Stanford's students are happy ~ At present, Chinese subtitles are still being translated by volunteers and have been updated to the fifth or sixth course. You can also subscribe to it on itunes.

This is now the case. If you have any new discoveries, update this article at any time.
