So I have an app idea that I'm passionate about. I have coding experience, mainly in Java, C++, and Javascript. I have little to no experience with Xcode or Swift.
So I've been trying to get into it, and am just wondering if I am looking in the right places to learn how to develop for iOS as fast as possible.
So far, I have been using CodeWithChris' YT tutorials. These feel beneficial and have helped me make progress with storyboarding, and are really accessible. However, his videos are made for people who have no coding experience, and so I am wondering if I would be better off using a more rigorous educational resource. Also, can someone clarify for me is learning to storyboard is a waste of my time if I know how to code? If storyboarding and code both have their benefits, then I am fine with learning both. However, if code is the eventual goal for every iOS developer, then I would rather begin by learning how to do everything I can in Swift, even if it might be a more difficult start.
Secondly, the other resource I have been reading is Apple's Swift 5.1 book they offer on iBooks. It seems pretty good, but I am wondering if I should just use this as a reference for things that I need, just read certain parts of it, or it's really worth the effort to read the whole thing.
Lastly, Apple has this Swift tutorial here:
Is this worth my time?
Thanks. Any insight is appreciated.
