I was given a copy of this book a few weeks ago. It helped me to do a quick transition from Kotlin to Swift as they share a lot of similarities. I loved all the screenshots used throughout the book as Xcode can be a little bit confusing sometimes. I was impressed by all the areas of the development process the book covers.

I've worked through his ios 14 version (5th), and now have this one. It's definitely worth it! I am totally impressed by the level of detail and guidance provided to the reader. I am also impressed that there is a section on SwiftUI and how to use it to develop a similar app. It would be very interesting to see a review of the differences and issues when trying to decide to use one over the other. I've done both, and see that they are quite different as mentioned in this book.Now that I've gone thru the book (except for the last two chapters which did not currently apply to me), I have more to say about the book. The example worked thru for most of the book goes into depth on several issues critical to understand if you are to develop an app for Apple. One is the storyboard-code interaction, their proper use in app development, and how they are connected during development. Another issue is the model-view-controller architecture, which is the primary architecture of the many out there to organize classes and structures to implement an app. Also, of note, is the use of segues between view to pass data. in passing, it should also be mentioned that there is a part of the book focussed on refactoring code to reduce redundancy and simplify writing. Another is use of extensions and the // MARK comment to factor code and search for pieces of code later on. I also learned about storyboard references so that separately-developed interfaces can be combined later into a single app.I also have to say, that it is refreshing to read a book on a complicated topic where the authors say what you are going to do, show you how to do it, then verify that you have done it correctly. For a beginner as the book title suggests it is for, this approach is a life-saver.

I have read Ahmad's previous edition and thought it was a good book with some minor errors. I submitted the errata I found and am pleased to see that those errors were corrected in this edition of the book. With that out of the way, the book is just excellent if you're new to iOS programming. You won't be disappointed if this is your first entry into the IOS programming world. The book progresses nicely and clearly with simple examples of code to make the point. Pick this book up if you're just getting started with iOS programming. Ahmad has done a great job in making learning the subject easy. My only advice is to program along with reading to make the concepts stick.

I have gone through many iOS development books in the past, and I find this one to be great. The first part of this book provides an introduction on the Swift language and the author doesn’t try to pretend he cover the materials completely. Instead, the author will refer the reader back to the actual official Swift language documentation on the web and I can tell you it is the best resource on Swift anyway. What place this book above others is really the second part of the book. It covers the UI development for the sample app with UIKit. The methodologies used for layout and setting constraints for the UI components taught in this book just works. Granted, the readers will need to follow each steps closely, play around with different setting and and finally understand and comprehend the concepts behind each steps on there own, it is never the less there. Layout and dealing with constraints has always been a difficult topic for anyone new to iOS development anyway so don’t be discouraged.Like I mentioned in the beginning of this review, I have read many iOS development books in the past and this is the only book that provides a working solution on setting up constraints on complex UI design. Just for this reason alone will make the purchase worth the price. The extra materials covered in the later chapter such as SwiftUI and concurrency programming is just the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to pickup iOS development.

This is a thorough book. The first section is detailed enough for an adventurous beginner starting from scratch. As a working programmer, the later sections pack the most value, providing an in depth overview of all the technologies used in iOS development.The information and examples are up do date. This book really is enough to get your first app into the App Store.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
