How to best start learning to Code? Swift? Can ChatGPT do it for me?

[DigitalAR]

Hello,

So I want to create an app for iOS.

Don’t know how to code, never tried.

Im guessing Swift would be the coding app to use above all? Metal is for gaming right, lol?

Can ChatGPT help out with the coding itself?

Am new to all this but am wanting to dive deep into this.

Swift is a programming language, while Metal is a graphics API. You'll be coding in the app called Xcode. Chances are ChatGPT won't be able to help you, when you jump in with absolutely zero skills. I'd recommend reading a bit about basic programming before jumping in - Perhaps ChatGPT can help you there.

Hello! To create an iOS application you need Swift and Xcode. Metal - for graphics and games. ChatGPT can give examples of code and explain how to write. It is better to first take the basic course on Swift and SwiftUI, and then try your project. I believe you will succeed!

In my experience current available AI's are NOT creative enough to produce anything other than copy-cat look-a-like code based purely upon code they've been exposed to.

Check swift.org and hackingwithswift.com. There’s also the #swift channel on the MacAdmins Slack where you may find some additional help from users. Good luck!
