iOS Any benefit to signing up for a Developer account ahead of WWDC?

[Luba]

I don't really know how to code unless you count using SAS or SPSS (statistics apps) back in the day. Since this year's WWDC is all online would there be any benefits for me to sign up as a Develop for $99? The keynote is available to the public. Are the WWDC workshops intelligible to a newbie?

You can watch the developer Tech Talks with a free developer count and don't need the paid account. There are some advantages to a paid account, but I wouldn't bother with it yet if I were you. Most of what will happen at WWDC you can enjoy regardless - Paid will allow you to ask your own questions in the online labs, but you can read along and watch everything with a free account/no account.

If you want to start learning, I recommend Paul Hudson's Hacking With Swift. He does both books and videos and he's excellent.

A lot of his stuff may be at a bit higher level though.

I've recently started a beginner's guide on YouTube, though it starts out with Java - but it's more about the fundamentals of programming than any language specific stuff, so that might also be of interest. Bit of a plug...
But definitely Paul Hudson; He's really excellent for Swift resources
