How to Make a Freaking iPhone App - iOS 10 and Swift 3

Explore three ways to make money with iOS apps: working for a company, freelancing, or building your own apps, while previewing Swift fundamentals like functions and classes.

Working for a company provides a stable income and benefits, while offering learning from others; however salary growth is limited and you may be constrained by management.

Explore freelancing, a project-based model where you earn money without being an employee, balancing flexibility and control against unstable income and messy client projects.

Build and monetize your own app to pursue entrepreneurship, owning the process and rewards, while facing high risk, low odds, and potential loneliness.

Submit an app to the App Store to showcase your work and unlock freelance, internship, and full-time iOS opportunities while learning functions and classes.

Master Swift functions and classes in this hands-on playground lesson. Define named code blocks, pass parameters, call functions, and print results, then revisit the emoji dictionary project.

Discover how functions take parameters and return information, specify a return type, and reuse returned values in later code through examples like adding numbers and building a person info string.

Learn how classes act as blueprints to create objects in Swift, with properties and methods for real-world things like a person, then instantiate objects and access their attributes.

Explore how methods work as functions inside a class by creating a Person with name and age, then calling an info method on instances to print details in Swift.

See why classes matter by extending the Moji dictionary app with category and birth year labels, wiring them to the definition view controller, and updating emoji details.

Introduce an emoji class with properties like emoji, definition, category, and birth year, and implement a make emoji function returning an array of emoji objects to display categories.
