Hey guys I've always wanted to learn how to program iPhone apps. I've even tried to learn before with videos on youtube but the ones I found were outdated and hard to follow because of it. I know that they are programmed in Objective C and Swift (there may be more I'm not too sure) but I'm not sure where to start. If you guys could seriously help me out it would be greatly appreciated! I have a PC and a Macbook so if that would make any difference to learning then I guess I'm in the OK with that. The only thing is that my Macbook is so much slower than my PC because my Mac is from 2009 and my PC is brand new so I would like to learn on my PC rather than my Mac but either one is completely fine. Thank you!

I personally would start on [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and learn the basics and then as you go further in depth those Youtube videos will begin to make a bit more sense. Also your going to want to eventually download an App on your Mac called Xcode. It's what 90% of people use as its from app, and designed to help you code in an efficient manner for iOS and MacOS applications. I use it on my 2011 MacBook Pro and it works just fine. Also coming into this, do you know any programming languages?

No I don't know any programming languages. I'll be a senior in high school this year and want to go to college for computer science but not 100% sure if I want to major in that or do something with programming apps and such. And I already have Xcode from when I wanted to try to learn before but as I said before I didn't understand how to use it that well.

You should probably begin to learn the basics of computer programming before you delve into actually developing apps. Just knowing basic loops, if statements, the difference between a stack and a queue, what classes and objects are, among other basics will allow you to much better when starting to actually develop things such as apps because you will actually understand what is going on.
