Programming is something that, at first glance, seems very complicated, since it requires a lot of code knowledge. However, it is the future, and that is why Apple is making it easier every time things for users who want to learn, launching a multitude of tools that facilitate this learning, as well as interesting workshops so that both young and old can enjoy learning.
And this is precisely what we are going to talk about, specifically from the “Hour of Code” workshop, in which you can go to one of the Apple stores to start programming in a basic way, and start to like it.
The workshops are pretty straightforward, and will be available in all Apple Stores worldwide, so you just have to make an appointment through the mobile application and go to it, but you should also bear in mind that there are two different modalities.
On the one hand, facing the little ones, it begins learning by programming small robots and simple applications, and for those who are already a little older, the classes consist of start using the Swift Playgrounds app, for which you will need an iPad (if you don't have one, they can lend you one to practice). In this way, with this app, you can start with the development of basic projects, and as you progress, you could even switch to using Swift on the Mac, although that already requires more time and effort.
In this way, if you wish, you can now sign up for one of these classes Through the Apple website, in the iOS application, or by visiting a store, although you must bear in mind that the sessions will only be available between December 1 and December 14, that is, for two weeks. Although, yes, it is enough time to attend the course, and even repeat if you wish.
Finally, it should also be remembered that, if you want to access by taking your own iPad to the Apple Store, you must have the Swift Playgrounds application installed in it, which in this case is available for free from the App Store.
