Coding iPhone Apps for Kids: A Playful Introduction to Swift

Appleâ€™s Swift is a powerful, beginner-friendly programming language that anyone can use to make cool apps for the iPhone or iPad. In Coding iPhone Apps for Kids, youâ€™ll learn how to use Swift to write programs, even if youâ€™ve never programmed before.

Youâ€™ll work in the Xcode playground, an interactive environment where you can play with your code and see the results of your work immediately! Youâ€™ll learn the fundamentals of programming too, like how to store data in arrays, use conditional statements to make decisions, and create functions to organize your codeâ€”all with the help of clear and patient explanations.

Once you master the basics, youâ€™ll build a birthday tracker app so that you wonâ€™t forget anyoneâ€™s birthday and a platform game called Schoolhouse Skateboarder with animation, jumps, and more!

As you begin your programming adventure, youâ€™ll learn how to:
â€“Build programs to save you time, like one that invites all of your friends to a party with just the click of a button!
â€“Program a number-guessing game with loops to make the computer keep guessing until it gets the right answer
â€“Make a real, playable game with graphics and sound effects using SpriteKit
â€“Challenge players by speeding up your game and adding a high-score systemWhy should serious adults have all the fun? Coding iPhone Apps for Kids is your ticket to the exciting world of computer programming.
