Welcome & Introduction & Download XCode7:16
Some of you may be thinking ... "I love using apps on my iPhone, but hey! I want to make my own app! Developing an app might look like a mountain to climb, but if we approach it step by step, it's really not all that difficult. In this lecture we'll first prepare the stage by downloading the software we'll need to write the code that makes up our app.

A Quick XCode Tour - Your Workspace!5:51
Lets take quick tour of the place you'll be spending your time building your new apps. There are 3 Main sections to pay attention to: The Left, The Center, and The Right.
Shake it to the Left9:34
The left is a list of all your files that you're working with as you go along creating your app.
Shake it in the Middle5:32
The middle is where you'll be doing most of your typing and playing!
Shake it to the Right5:05
The right is where you'll be able to make some change to some more things that will help you as you code!

The "View".12:37
What are the basic building blocks of the visual aspect of your app? Let's learn what the UI (User Interface) is made up of, it's foundational building blocks, and how to simply put different types of components on the screen. The goal of this episode is not necessarily to understand how things work, rather to build your awareness around how things appear on the screen, and the different types of view components you can put on the screen.
Where do I keep stuff? "Vars" & "Lets"10:12
In this lecture we'll begin understanding how to "store stuff" within our app. As a user uses an app, things change, things happen, and we need a way to tell the app to remember those changes over time. We'll explore Vars (Variables) and Let (constants), and begin to see the different types of information, or data, we can work with, and store.
United @State of App-erica10:54
Cool, so we've already seen that there is a way to store information in our code as the app is running. But how do we use that information to update something in our view. We'll use a simple example to explore what is called a @State property wrapper, and how it is used by a View to reflect changes within those @State variables.
Functions & Parameters11:46
In this episode we'll begin to understand how to encapsulate code to be re-usable, in what are called "functions". We'll also understand how we can add inputs to functions, which are called parameters, and how to return Output from our functions.
Applying the use of functions within our SwiftUI View6:04
Now that we've understood a bit more about how to write and use a function, let's see how we can use a function intelligently within our SwiftUI View. We'll use a small example to show how to encapsulate some type of functionality into one dedicated function, see how it can help us for the future as we build our app more and more.
