Will they include a lesson on how to make Byte set up a provisioning profile in itunesconnect and install a code signing key in your local keychain and and enter the MAC address of his tethered device into developer.apple.com and then hopefully, just maybe XCode will allow you to run what you wrote?

For anyone looking to get started on iOS programming Apple has released a free interactive iBooks book called &quot;App Development with Swift&quot; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;book&#x2F;app-development-with-swift&#x2F;id1118575552?mt=11" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;book&#x2F;app-development-with-swift&#x2F;...</a><p>Here is a report of someone using that book to get started, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hackernoon.com&#x2F;i-develop-therefore-i-am-b501e2a10277#.9sjkahx0l" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hackernoon.com&#x2F;i-develop-therefore-i-am-b501e2a10277...</a>

Does this support VoiceOver and some sort of Sound API?<p>I occasionally teach blind kids programming. Sometimes it takes an hour to just navigate them through an unfamiliar setup with a screen reader. If this can be used by a blind person, it could be a game changer.

Does anyone know if Playgrounds for iPad is compiling code with LLVM behind the scenes or if they have written an interpreter?

I am surprised it was not included with iOS 10 and had to be downloaded separately. It was part of it until beta 8

I want a language + ide + (hosting&#x2F;compiler) combo that&#x27;s as easy to use as BASIC was back in the day. and scales all the way up from kids&#x27; apps to enterprise.

This looks so similar to Lightbot that I wonder if it&#x27;s the same game just with updated graphics and characters and stuff.. and of course all the swift code

Just curious, why does it need iOS 10?

ACPU Studio is powerful development platform on mobiles with Livecoding. True IDE, built near to Bret Victor &amp; Eve principles.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=CAcv12eBqcc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=CAcv12eBqcc</a><p>Another sample: use Xcode on iPad for publish to AppStore remotely.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;acpul.tumblr.com&#x2F;image&#x2F;116464494150" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;acpul.tumblr.com&#x2F;image&#x2F;116464494150</a><p>Coming soon...

Have any of these kid targeted development products ever been highly successful?<p>I&#x27;ve seen dozens of attempts but they all seem to fizzle pretty quickly.

It would&#x27;ve been nice to see some kind of animation on the code itself during the run, showing which commands it has completed.

Wow, this looks cool and very complete, the must have put quite some effort in this. I&#x27;ve been &#x27;stuck&#x27; on Objective-C for a while now, knowing I should &#x27;keep up&#x27; and learn Swift. This could be a nice, fun way to pick up Swift in my &#x27;spare&#x27; time.

Not as exciting as AIDE I have 2 apps on Google play with over 20 thousand users both of them built in AIDE with a combination of Java and C++ right on my android device.

Is Swift Playgrounds&#x27; code itself open source?

Doesn&#x27;t work on iPad 4 :(

If you want to learn how to code, get a desktop with Ubuntu on it. And start with C++.

Found this whole project woefully disappointing considering Bret Victor used to work there.

I hate iPad exclusivity. Like I get it, the content is better consumed on a bigger screen and you might be taking advantage of the better hw but maybe let me check it out and decide for myself if I&#x27;m willing to buy an iPad for the full experience.
