If you have a son or daughter who loves the idea of creating cutting-edge apps, games and experiences for Apple's iOS platform, then say hello to the company's Swift Playgrounds iPad app, and trust us when we say your kids will love it.
Apple's WWDC 2016 was as jam-packed as the earlier speculation suggested, and was full of the expected platform announcements with the official unveiling of iOS 10, macOS Sierra, watchOS 3 and tvOS 10. The opening keynote was also full of Apple's trademark videos that showcased the good that the company is doing in the world and the positive change that it is trying to enact, which this year includes trying to promote the benefits of coding with the Swift programming language through the new Swift Playgrounds iPad app.
Google could be planning to make a move that could bring about large-scale changes for the Android platform, and in turn, for those that develop and produce apps for the world's most popular mobile operating system. Executives from Google, along with decision makers from other tech companies like Uber and Facebook, have reportedly been in attendance at a meeting solely put in place to discuss Apple's Swift programming language. Google has potentially seen enough about the power of the open-source language to be seriously considering adopting it as a "first-class language" for Android going forward.
