Title: Meet Swift Playgrounds, the learn-to-code iPad app that feels like a puzzle game Post by: HCK on July 17, 2016, 04:05:14 pm Meet Swift Playgrounds, the learn-to-code iPad app that feels like a puzzle game
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Learning to code isn’t supposed to be this fun. Apple’s new Swift Playgrounds (http://www.macworld.com/article/3083079/application-development/swift-playgrounds-brings-ios-app-development-to-the-masses.html) app for iPads running iOS 10 is aimed at teaching the Swift programming language to middle-school-age children and adults, no coding experience necessary. But it feels like a puzzle game—one that just happens to be solved with commands and functions and For loops, instead of with a slingshot full of birds.</p><p> And I’m totally hooked. In fact, Swift Playgrounds is my favorite thing to come out of this year’s WWDC by far, and I think it’s going to be one of the highlights of iOS 10 when it’s released this fall.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3095824/ios/meet-swift-playgrounds-the-learn-to-code-ipad-app-that-feels-like-a-puzzle-game.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Meet Swift Playgrounds, the learn-to-code iPad app that feels like a puzzle game (http://www.macworld.com/article/3095824/ios/meet-swift-playgrounds-the-learn-to-code-ipad-app-that-feels-like-a-puzzle-game.html#tk.rss_all) |
