Warm greetings everyone, hope everyone is having a good day? Any tips for this Developer Program? I just dont know where to start with all these cool toys. Also I'm transitioning from a different field and I dont know any programing language.
Best of regards of course

Start with the language document, and with a Swift Hello World program, or similar.
Also start with Playgrounds and its Swift tutorials, and not Xcode: Swift Playgrounds - Apple Developer
Playgrounds are intentionally simpler than Xcode. But Playgrounds are very capable, and very useful. Why Playgrounds first? Learning both Swift and Xcode at the same time is a much larger effort, and learning Swift first will get you productive more quickly. (I use both Xcode and Playgrounds.)
As for learning more about the Swift language and syntax (in addition to the tutorials online), here is a (free) Apple book:

If you’re just starting out with programming more generally:
Learn, Build, and Innovate - Apple Developer
Here are a Stanford iOS Swift course and a Harvard Python course (both are college level courses, and free):

Get XCode and look for some Swift tutorials. Swift is the current MacOS programming language. If you have *no* programming experience you might want to start with something more basic, I like Scratch.
I got an M2 and Apple's Developers membership, any tips on where to start?
