Learning to code with Swift Playgrounds is fun and engaging and requires no previous coding knowledge, so it’s perfect for students just starting out. The Everyone Can Code educator resources introduce students to coding and app development through interactive, easy-to-follow tutorials, while building essential skills.

Engaging tutorials demonstrate the core concepts of coding and app development. And with the App Preview, learners can see how their app looks and how it changes as they code — making it a fun and powerful learning experience.

Templates

To help on more advanced creations, Templates will give you a head start — providing code that takes advantage of iPad technologies like the accelerometer and the gyroscope. Add your own graphics, audio and more to make them more interactive.

Share your code to a friend’s iPad where they can view it in Swift Playgrounds and even build on it by adding their own code. You can import and export between Swift Playgrounds and Xcode, to try out your ideas with the tool pros use to develop iOS and Mac apps.
