Hi George,

It’s a huge step up in Programmer friendliness IMO. Objective C was just too cryptic for the students to understand, especially for students coming from a zero programming background in earlier years, which is basically the problem in nearly all schools here.

Just to quote one of the developers on the Xcode forums, “High School teachers will be thanking Apple for this”.

I’ll be creating You Tube Videos and I’ll upload them to Edulists when they’re ready.

Check out this You Tube clip.

Hi Zach,

Does it involve complex programming ala Objective C or is it manageable for both teacher and student?

Cheers

George

Hi Cameron,

You may want to look at Swift instead of Objective C for Xcode.
It's new from Apple and I'm going to be busy over the holidays re-writing, and creating new ideas for the Xcode course here.

Graeme Summer's book is still useful but won't have Swift, unless something else has been planned.

regards,
Zach Alexakos

Good afternoon all,

Sorry for the cross posts.

I have just been advised that I will be teaching an App Development elective subject for Year 10 next year and was wondering if anyone had a subject outline similar that I could possibly borrow.

The textbook I will be using is Programming Apps for the Iphone by Graeme Summers.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,
