Top 5 Resources for iOS development
It’s been a fun year making iOS apps. I’ve learned so much! When I first begun making iOS apps, Apple still had the NDA restrictions, so talking about the SDK on public sites wasn’t allowed - which made learning a lot harder. It’s a different story nowadays, and there are lots and lots of resources online for learning. This list should get you well on your way, it’s what I use on a day to day basis, and I never have to go looking anywhere else for answers.
StackOverflow
This is probably the best resource out there. Think of StackOverflow as a community of developers willing to help other developers. You ask your question, and chances are, you’ll find a solution from someone else.
Snippet App
Writing awesome code is a great feeling, re-using code is even better. Chances are, you’ll be doing the same routines throughout your apps - and if you want to keep track of the code that you used to that you can reference it later on, Snippets App is something you should have. Snippets runs on your menu bar and allows for your to add code snippets and reference them later on. Click on a code snippet and it copies to your clipboard so you can use it instantly.
iPhone Examples
Chances are, you don’t know how to do a whole lot yet. If only there was a website that provided the most common code snippets for you. Oh wait, there is! iPhone Examples has several code snippets showing you how to use timers, work with web views and a whole lot more.
Github
When you’re looking for open source projects and better ways of doing something you’re currently doing, why not check out some open source projects? Github hosts tons of repos that you can download and learn from.
Apple’s iOS Development Center
It goes without saying, but Apple has made sure that new and experienced developers have the best tools at their hands. The iOS center has class documentations, the Apple Developer Forums and a whole lot more.
