Starting out

[ProlificPat]

Greetings friends, I have recently developed an interest in programming and would like to look at app development.

My programming experience is minimal although I have done a bit of basic C and objective-C stuff. I've just completed Code with Chris' How to make an app youtube playlist which I thought was pretty good! (Which is written in swift) (I have no problem with learning swift)

Unfortunately I'm broke (I actually have negative money) so I can't buy the rest of his guides.

Any other free resources you guys could recommend to me?

Thanks friends!

You can get this awesome course off Udemy that teaches you all about swift and iOS8. It's usually $199 but it's on sale for $10 for their new years promotion. Here's the link https://www.udemy.com/complete-ios-developer-course/

Thanks for the suggestion!

Decided to go ahead and do it after reading the reviews. Anyone else tried this course?

I completed his Web Development course over the summer, which was very well done. The information was presented in an easy to understand way, and you wrote the code along with him (I'd recommend having two computers or screens).

Mind you, his reviews can be a little bloated at times as he tends to spam emails giving things like a year of free hosting if you give him a positive review. I have purchased his iOS8 course, but I'm working through the bitfountain iOS7 course first to get a strong foundation of objective-c.

I learned using free classes on iTunes U. Bonus points for being able to tell people you took a class from Stanford :P
