iOS Tutorial with examples
iOS is Apple's operating system for mobile computing- the equivalent of the Google's Andoroid operating system. The iOS has its base in OS X which is essentially the operating system for Apples notebooks and desktops. The iOS is based upon OS X in loosely the same way as the Android is based upon Linux (and Java).
What will you learn
Once you complete this tutorial, we will be able to learn how to creat a new application for iPhone and iPad. We will start with simple "Hello World" application, and will move to more complex applications.
Pre requisite
Developing iOS applications require that you have some basic Apple hardware set up.
1. You will need and Apple Macbook laptop or an Apple desktop. The prices of the Apple's Macbook bas gone down considerably and has become affordable. If you do not own one, you need to buy. If you are budget contrained, consider buying a refurbished Macbook air.
2. An Apple iPad or iPhone to test your application. We sugges that you buy an iPad. You may also consider buying an older refurbished iPad 2, if you are budget constrained.
3. You should have some basic understanding of a programming language. If you are not familiar with C - we suggest that you take a C tutorial. Apple uses Objective C programming language - and we will help you learn a bit of it as you learn this tutorial.
