Code With Jim

I am thinking to write a series of article blog on developing iOS app, but in term of experimental and educational level. No aim in particular, but I think documenting my baby steps with iOS app development might actually help others. MORE FUN THAN I THOUGHT Being exposed to Apple XCode for the first time (version 9 beta I am using) and Swift 4, and also iPhone capability to do Augmented Reality , really bring a whole lot of fun area I can explore. Even as 3D artist with little programming knowledge like me, I can say that it just takes a bit of effort and motivation to brave yourself and try the app creation. Even if you are not going to make paid app, the act to actually make your iOS device to work for you using your own custom app is amazing. Making program for desktop computer VS making apps for mobile device is a totally different set of skill, in a sense that for mobile device (comes with powerful camera, wifi, bluetooth, AR capable, GPS capable and a lot more) you hav...

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. And apparently yes, with iOS 11, finally Apple says: let's deliver AR. 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...
