How To Make an App - Ep 11 - Swift IBOutlet Properties (Xcode 7, Swift 2)

How To Make iPhone Apps with NO Programming Experience!
Lesson 11: Swift IBOutlet Properties

This lessons shows you how to connect the elements in your user interface to IBOutlet properties which the view controller can access!

This video series uses the latest and greatest from Apple (Xcode 7, Swift 2, iOS 9) and will teach a beginner with no programming experience how to make iPhone apps. I'm creating these videos with the assumption that the student has no prior knowledge and is starting from scratch.

The lesson plan for the How To Make an App series can be found on my site here:

These tutorial videos are so well put together. Chris, you have a gift man. Keep teaching, you're amazing at this. Better than any instructor on Lynda that I've found.

these all have been awesome. I learned java before somewhat this tutorial made the conversion easy!

Okay, this is great, right up to this video most of the questions I have when seeing weird symbols and names on sample codes are answered and very much understood, they're mostly UIKit and IBOutlet (but those previous tutorials don't even bother to explain that, I always hate coding something I don't clearly understand).

Big thanks.

16:05 You referred to setTitle's arguments as parameters. I get the two confused as well but it was just bugging me so had to mention it. By the way I love your work in this series, very clear explanation of how things are setup and work. Nice work man!

I LOVE THESE XCODE VIDEOS! I'm already halfway into my war game in only 2 days!!!

[KevinHTucker]

I figured it out, at least a work around. For some reason my ctrl key does not work in this setup of mine. Easy alternative is to just click the imageview to select then right click mouse and select "Reference Outlet Connections" then select the "New Reference Outlet Connection" radio button and while keeping the mouse in drag it over and there you have the connection line. Easy!!!

I would just add in your video that IBOutlet stands for Interface Builder Outlet.
Great video series, well done.

Hi, I love your work you can clearly teach and know your stuff. So far i have been successful in following your work yet for some reason something isn't right. This is probably my clumsiness and I would really appreciate it if you could solve my issue. At the end of this video episode 11 I try to run the code yet instead of changing the name to "Play" it adds a piece of text in the top left corner saying "Play" and the button Deal is the same. Why is this?

Can you please make a video about how to make an apple watch app

Thanks

When did you create the storyboard you use in this video?

Does it matter which order we drag the images/background to view controller in?

[karllindback]

Hi Chris! As i loaded my project which i did in one of your earlier lessons, i noticed that my constraints didnt work anymore. I tried to update my constraints but i dosen't work. The thing is that the image view and the deal button are not in the same position/constraints where i left them. Appreciate help!

how do i connect set alarm button to a date picker and also how to add sound track when alarm goes off.

[MrMhdabd]

hi Chris. I made as u said but in the end when running my simulator the Deal button didn't change to "Play" button but i found that the Play button is in the corner of the simulator and the Deal button still available.. can you help me please

[lukebevan]

How do you get to the UI Documentation search box?

[KevinHTucker]

Anyone know why the ctrl drag might not work. I select ctrl and click on the view imageview then drag but no green line appears. FYI - I am working from a mac-on-cloud through an internet connection using a windows pc.

Any help would be appreciated as I am stuck.

[LebenWerden]

Why the "self" in line 23?
firstCardImageView is a property. Isnt it?

[saraalhajri]

When I try to connect it and add a name and click on connect, it adds nothing to my view controller page. I'm not sure why. Did someone else have this problem?

[vinodreddy]

Instead of adding a had added my app was i figured it out.
