How To Build iPhone Apps - S01E02: XCode Interface Introduction and Tutorial

Get a customized roadmap for your app and start building it in 7 days:

Learn all about using XCode and how to build iPhone apps. This video introduces you to the XCode development environment. This is video 2 of a video tutorial series, Learn How To Build iPhone and iPad Apps, aimed at beginners. Step by step tutorials to build your skills in iOS Development!

The goal is to get apps submitted into the Apple App Store and to have fun doing it! I will teach you the basics of using XCode, architecting iPhone and iPad applications, designing the user interface, coding it in Objective C, all the way to monetizing it and putting it into the Apple App Store.

This first tutorial series of videos is going to teach you the basics of iOS development before we can get into some serious app building. We're going to build a basic iPhone demo app together step by step to teach you the basic building blocks of iOS development. By the end of this series (approximately 8 videos) you'll have a good understanding of what an iPhone view is comprised of and how to put different user interface elements on the screen and make them respond to the user's touch.

In this XCode Introduction, we're getting familiar with the XCode environment and going over things like the code editor window, project tree, setting and toggling breakpoints, running the application, what the Organizer and Assistant Editor are, the debugger window etc.

Thanks Boss Talk, I'm glad you appreciate that because that's what i'm trying to do differently than other tutorials i see on YouTube!

Thanks for teaching us how to fish. I was stuck on a coding issue and watching your series of videos has helped me get past it. I've starting watching all your video tutorials to see what else I missed from watching the other videos tutorials. I missed a lot!!!

Nice short walk through. I'm enjoying your style. I feel like you are just hanging out showing me the needed points to get me going without a super deep boring analysis. I also have to say nice to see you not saying ignore this and that because you don't need to know that right now.

Love the tutorials Chris. I like how you add words to the image for people who may not be able to hear. It must take a long time to add also! You speak very clearly and is a pleasure to listen and follow along. Carry on with this and your youTube channel will grow!

May I ask where you work?

[CodeWithChris]

Hey Yousuf! That's exactly what i'm going to start doing :) Thanks for this feedback

Hey CRAD098, unfortunately not. XCode is only OSX. But some people have been able to set up a "Hackintosh" and do iOS work in Windows. Try searching for that!
