This document provides an overview of iOS development using Swift and Xcode. It discusses the core components of Swift like variables, functions, classes, and error handling. It also covers the main iOS frameworks like UIKit for building user interfaces with elements like view controllers, table views, and image views. Design patterns like MVC and Observer are explained as general solutions to common software problems. The document recommends using Xcode, Apple's integrated development environment, for iOS development as it is only available on Mac systems.

Libraries are not open-sourced
Only the swift foundation is opensourced.
So, need XCode IDE, and XCode is only on MacOSX

Cocoa UI - NSxxx
UIKit - UIxxx
CoreData - CDxxx

UINavigationController
UIImage
UITextField
UILabel

46. Design Pattern
is a general, reusable solution to a commonly occurring
problem within a given context in software design. It is not a
finished design that can be transformed directly into source or
machine code. Rather, it is a description or template for how
to solve a problem that can be used in many different
situations. Design patterns are formalized best practices that
the programmer can use to solve common problems when
designing an application or system.
