I have no experience in swift but I have made web apps using python flask and sql. How do I even get started with swift playground? Please give detailed reply
Completed cs50. Now I want to participate in swift student challenge but I'm so confused. Where do I even start?
There are a bunch of resources that explain how to get started with Swift Playgrounds. When I search the ’net for “getting started with swift playgrounds”, the top two hits were:
-

both of which I rate (-:
Share and Enjoy

Quinn's resources are great! If you don't mind, I would like to add a few other resources that you might find helpful as well:
- The resources already listed in the Get Ready section of the Swift Student Challenge website.
- The Swift Programming Language docs, especially the Swift tour part. Also, you can go deeper and read all the topics included in these docs, especially if you want to gain a deeper understanding of the language itself.
- The SwiftUI sample apps. This also appears on the Swift Student Challenge's website.
- After you are comfortable with Swift & SwiftUI, you can learn how use the many technologies (such as ML frameworks) described in the Apple Developer docs, watch WWDC videos about these, and explore other resources as well.
But of course, the idea would be to simply just start with one of them and dive deeper into this subject. As you gain more knowledge, you will know what you'll need to focus on next.
Also, there are two main apps that you can use for coding Swift apps for Apple platforms: Xcode and Swift Playgrounds. In both you can create App Playground projects (if you need guidance regarding this, check this thread), but the latter is beginner friendly and can run on iPad, while the former is more advanced.
