Seesaw: Learn to Code
What makes this app unique? Most coding tools for beginners these days use colored blocks to simulate coding. However, in Seesaw, you code using a real text-based programming language designed from the ground up for use on smaller displays, such as the iPhone or iPad.
Seesaw is a self-contained suite of software development tools that allows you to write and run apps even on your iPhone. Normally, if you want to write iOS apps, you would need to do it on a MacBook Pro running Xcode.
Seesaw provides sample code and instructions so that you can start coding right away. You can also work with animations, text, and images to make useful apps and fun games.
Seesaw is written in and bears some similarity to Swift, a modern and powerful language developed by Apple to create apps and games.
Seesaw helps bridge the gap between learning and doing real coding. Seesaw will help you avoid spending years in training before you can create professional-quality apps.
Writing actual, working code has a powerful impact on your understanding and internalizing of coding concepts. When your code can easily come to life, your engagement will skyrocket!
