What we’re about
Join our group to learn the language and the tools for iOS development including the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
We meet weekly in Northern VA on Mondays at 7 PM. And we are now two blocks from the McLean metro station on the Silver line.
We are now focusing on Swift language. Currently the Swift documentation is only available through Apple's iBooks store or online:
https://developer.apple.com/swift/
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/
We were using the books by Big Nerd Ranch. However as Objective-C loses prevalence, we are going to be concentrating on Swift, so there is no requirement to purchase the books:
