Hello dear subscribers. Today we begin our course for the development of software for Apple mobile devices in the programming language Objective-C. This course will enable you to use the most advanced language features in your applications. Today I'll show you the basic functions to be implemented by developers when working with the controls of the application. Sometimes, in order to realize the most simple things, developers can write 3 times more code than the samples that we provide at conferences Apple WWDC and other examples. These lessons actually designed for developers without much difficulty could find samples of source and import them into your projects. After entering text in UITextField to hide the keyboard, the user must click on the background, then there will be an event that will roll your keyboard. Not to write dozens of lines of code, a professional programmer can hide the keyboard prescribing this code: - ( void )touchesBegan:( NSSet *)touches withEvent:( UIEven...

Swift Party: Lesson one

Hello novice developers. Today we begin work on the publication of courses for beginners Swift developers. Our team will try to publish affordable and high-quality courses, as well as additional materials for the best study material. The Basics Swift does away with the standard of declaring variables by starting with their type names, and instead opts to use a Javascript-like ‘var’ keyword to define any variable. So for instance in Objective-C where you have this: 1 NSString *myString = @ "This is my string." ; You now have this: 1 var myString = "This is my string." Meanwhile constants are expressed with the ‘let’ keyword 1 let kSomeConstant = 40 In this case kSomeConstant is implicitly defined as an integer. If you want to be more specific you can specify which type it is like so: 1 let kSomeConstant: Int = 40 With both arrays and dictionaries, they are described using brackets [] 1 var colorsArray = [ "Blue" , "Red" , "Green" , ...
