One of the examples of the perfect combination of fun + learning, Swift Playgrounds app initially launched by Apple Inc in 2016 for the iPad platform. The overall concept of releasing this revolutionary app was to have a platform where you can have fun while learning and can experiment with code. The tagline of the app is “Learn real coding the fun way”. All you need to do is solve the interactive puzzles at the initial stage after the installation and the fun-loving learning starts.

After almost 4 years, Apple launched the app for Mac as well which will help users have the same kind of experience. From being a newcomer who just got introduced to coding, you become master at it while having fun as well. There is a wide range of challenges that will open doors for you to experience some unique coding functions.

I think it’s quite evident that every time you refresh the app store, there is one or another app that got launched on the platform.

What more you want when you have a platform that lets you use your creativity by playing games or solving puzzles. One of the most amazing things with Swift Playgrounds is the instant response of any code you just wrote.
