How to learn mac app development

Reading through the XCode documentation, it says "If you’re new to iOS or Mac programming, work through Start Developing iOS Apps (Swift) or Start Developing Mac Apps Today." - I found the iOS guide, but 'Start Developing Mac Apps Today' seems to have been deleted from the developer library - are there any guides for those of us wanting an overview / guide for mac development?

That one has certainly gone missing - have you check iTunes U in the store?


And did you go thru this pdf yet?

I am new to app creation also. The best resource I found was lynda.com. The have several, well produced courses on prgramming in general, swift and Xcode. It is a paid site but I think it was worth the money. I then discovered that I could get access to it free through my library. Perhaps you can check if your local library has it also.

This has been a good place in the past to learn iOS app dev. Looks like iOS 9/Xcode 7 book is under dev:

I did not find Start Developing Mac Apps Today to be particularly useful to learn really how to build OS X Application.


On the other hand, I used Cocoa programming, an online tutorial (today 66 lessons) which is very didactic, goes really step by step to help build very simple applications and learn the basic concepts :

search on Google for : "cocoa programming tutorial youtube"

Faced the same problem here.. started to learn objective-c but realized that a lot of matherials were deleted from the developer.apple... are these courses still applicable in 2018 ? )))
