# DevWeek 2014 talk: 'iOS developer overview'

> So, you're a developer, but you have never worked with iOS? In this session, I provided a head start on how to plan, build, debug and release iOS 7 apps.

The talk covers a wide range of topics, including:

* the App Store ecosystem;
* the nature of an app;
* iOS 7's new UI and how to migrate from iOS 6;
* interface design; dev tools (Xcode IDE, Simulator, Instruments & docs, etc);
* design patterns;
* debugging and optimisation;
* App Store and ad-hoc distribution;
* ... and what makes an app successfully.
