Frankly speaking: Is possible to learn to code to iOS for the first time?

Hi.


I'm new in this area of programming. In fact I have previous skill in programming logic, nonetheless, I have never coded in language based on objects.


So, in this case is it possible to start programming in swift without any previous experience in lagunage based on objects?




Thank you

Of course it is, you can do anything you set your mind on. And, if you ever have any questions just post them on this forum and hopefully someone should be able to help you. Object orriented programming languages are really not all that difficult. Swift is actually a mainly protocol oriented language, but also object oriented. It depends on how well you can catch on to new concepts and stuff as well.

I had many decades of procedural programming in a corporate IT environment (COBOL, PL/I, Assembly, REXX, etc.).

OOP is a strange looking thing at first but once you see the paradygm, things get much easier.

OOP is very, very powerful as implemented by Objective-C and now Swift.

Yes. Swift was the first language I actually sat down to learn (I moved back to Obj-C because personal preference on there not being and real changes to come).


The only issue I had with Swift as my first language is that the language is still new which means there's updates to the language every so-often. This got to be a problem for me when some tutorials became irrelevant and I had to wait for relevant ones to come out (the non-basic things using various framworks). Other than that, it's really easy to pick up and learn.

I do advise you to find a book on programming for IOS and follow the complete course. It will take a few weeks, but it is worth the effort.


After this, you can select a simple yet useful app to develop for yourself to put all this in practice. So learning swift and OOP is a challenge but absolutely possible.
