Setting up table views in storyboards

- In the following videos, I'm going to go…through the process of setting up…a very basic calendar app in order to show the process…of using table views in Swift.…To start, I'll need to set up a new Xcode project.…I'm going to make sure that iOS is chosen…and I'll once again use the single view…application template.…I'm going to call the product MyCalendar.…First, I'm going to go to the storyboard…to get things set up in the new app.…

I'm going to get rid of the initial view controller…that Xcode set up in the template…since I'm going to want to use table views…instead of a plain view controller.…Then, I'm going to drag on a navigation controller…from the objects library.…And, from the attributes inspector,…I'm going to make sure that it's chosen…as the initial view controller for the storyboard.…As you can see, when I dragged it in,…it also brought along a second view controller…which is already set up as a table view controller.…

I'm going to select its title…and change it to My Calendar.…I'm also going to change its name…

Learn Swift 2. These tutorials take you through the basics of Swift, the fast, interactive codebase for programming iOS, Mac OS X, tvOS, and even Watch OS apps. Swift is ideal for new programmers who want to build their first apps, as well as experienced developers who are migrating from Objective-C.

First, learn how to install Xcode, the IDE designed for Apple developers, and use Swift playgrounds, an innovative coding environment that displays results as you code. Author John Nastos then dives deep into Swift syntax: the variables and constants, data types, arrays, loops, classes, and functions that make your apps run. Next, discover how to build an engaging app interface with storyboards and Interface Builder, connect the interface and code, and use table views to present lists. John shows how to store and retrieve data, and interact with Objective-C, the original app development language that still integrates beautifully with Swift. Using the exercise files provided with the course, you'll assemble a complete working app with Swift while gaining the skills to go create the next one on your own.
