To begin learning Swift coding and creating your first app, you can start with the following sessions and resources presented at WWDC:

  1. SwiftUI essentials:

    • This session provides an introduction to SwiftUI, Apple's declarative user interface framework. It covers the basics of how views work, built-in capabilities, and how SwiftUI integrates across all of Apple's platforms. This is a great starting point to understand the fundamentals of building apps using SwiftUI.
  2. A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design:

    • This session offers a tour of Swift's features and design principles. It introduces you to the language by demonstrating its features through building a simple project. This is ideal for getting familiar with Swift and understanding its core concepts.
  3. Platforms State of the Union:

    • This session introduces Swiftassist, a new tool in Xcode that can help you with coding tasks, prototyping, and experimenting with new APIs. Swiftassist can be a valuable companion as you start learning Swift and building your first app.
  4. Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI:

    • Although this session focuses on migrating TVML apps to SwiftUI, it provides a practical example of building a content catalog app using SwiftUI. This can give you insights into how to structure and develop apps for different Apple platforms.

Additionally, you can follow along with SwiftUI tutorials and explore the extensive documentation available on Apple's developer website. These resources will guide you through building different types of apps and help you deepen your understanding of Swift and SwiftUI.
