Code With Jim

MY INTEREST in learning Apple Swift and developing iOS app grows sky high as I started to understand the true iOS device capability, especially when Apple announced ARKit for Augmented Reality content creation at WWDC 2017 just few weeks ago. This is actually really huge, for me, especially because as indie 3D Artist, I always have this urge to deliver 3D directly into real life environment. Ideally this AR experience can be presented in realtime by web service like Sketchfab 3D, or perhaps being authorized by Unity or Unreal Engine can be easily transferred and presented as a full 3D render using mobile device like iPhone and iPad, or other smart mobile devices.

Free / Paid Apple Developer and XCODE I am fairly new with the XCODE environment, but starting to be familiar with it and in fact quite enjoyable, especially with Swift language and introduction of Swift Playground , it seriously gives me an ext...

I am probably going to try the generic and premade UI that is provided with XCode and iOS API. The version of XCode I am using is either 8 or 9 Beta.

There are some resources online dated from 2014, some are using older Swift and XCode. It is a good idea I think to invest on full course or proper books on iOS development, this way, you have some kind of hollistic approach, a guide of some sort from start to the end. Although you can always randomly crawling for interesting topics. I guess the most important step is to get used to XCode environment and Swift codin...
