Getting Started with SwiftUI

Introduction

SwiftUI is Apple's declarative framework for building user interfaces. In this post, we'll cover the basics.

Key Concepts

  • Declarative syntax — Describe what the UI should look like, not how to build it
  • Live preview — See changes instantly in Xcode
  • Cross-platform — Same code runs on iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS

A Simple Example

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, SwiftUI!")
    }
}

Next Steps

  1. Install Xcode from the App Store
  2. Create a new SwiftUI project
  3. Explore the canvas preview

"The best way to learn is by building." — Start with a small project and iterate.
