As someone who loves working with SwiftUI, Michele has written a fantastic book that I’ll be referring to for quite some time. In particular, I really appreciated the chapters around Navigation and App Architecture (2 chapters on this, alone!). Michele presents well-rounded overview with some great guidance and helpful insights as to how and when to effectively pick and choose approaches. A great read!

Despite its title, the book covers much more than just SwiftUI.The book is aimed at iOS developers looking to expand their knowledge by incorporating SwiftUI into their skill set. It is suitable for readers of all levels, from beginners to advanced.The book not only focuses on SwiftUI but also covers a wide range of topics, including:- Introduction to Xcode and app submission- Advanced usage of the Swift language- In-depth exploration of SwiftUI with animation- Modern concurrency and asynchronous programming- App architecture, clean architecture, SOLID principles, and GoF design patterns, along with system modelling using UML diagrams- Data persistence using CoreData and SwiftData- Modern networking and Swift serialization- Working in teams and group thinking- Exploring the Apple Vision ProThe book is logically divided into 16 chapters, with the latter 9 chapters delving into advanced topics. Throughout the book, the author provides external resources for further reading and references, as well as notes highlighting possible pitfalls. This reflects the author’s 30 years of experience in industrial software engineering in the book.In conclusion, this is a comprehensive resource that is beneficial for iOS developers at all levels of expertise. It’s a valuable addition to any iOS engineer’s collection and can also serve as a quick reference guide for non-linear reading.

As a bookworm I like checking out the latest books. I came across Michele Fadda's "An iOS Developer's Guide to SwiftUI: Design and build beautiful apps quickly and easily with minimum code."As a former software engineer I still check out books on the topic, just to get a sense of how contemporary software looks like.To my surprise in chapter 11 - "App Architecture and SwiftUI" - there are many dots being connected. From building architecture to software architecture. User Journey mapping and non-functional requirements. Culture. Conflicts. Bauhaus school of architecture. Software patterns. Christopher Alexander. Agency theory and (bad) architecture. And more.In short it connects the dots of [software] architecture with elements of organizational design -- one of the pillars of my TameFlow Approach, especially with my the organizational design patterns perspective.The rest of the book is packed with ideas and real code. I'm no longer into coding, but if I were, I'd keep this book full with bookmarks beside my keyboard.

This book is for people who already have a grasp on swift and are looking to dig a little deeper into swiftUI specifically. He covers a little on xcode and even some bugs that we encounter which is helpful to be warned about because its confusing to encounter these things but he does not waste time talking about the most basic concepts related to swift in general which is a plus for me because Ive been developing for a while now and dont need these covered in every book I go through.The book does a good job using scaffolding as a teaching process. The author will introduce some basic concepts like how to construct views, then the next chapter you will learn how to let the user interact with those views. Overall its a really good flow and easy to follow.The book goes pretty in depth on navigation which is helpful because swiftUI handles navigation pretty differently from traditional swift.There are pictures in the book so you can compare the app he is walking you through building with the app on your screen to make sure you are following along correctly. If you get totally lost the source code is linked in the book so you can compare it to your project.The book also covers some newer concepts like SwiftData which I havent worked with before so that was cool and theres a chapter on the apple vision pro which I was pretty impressed with. Its basic stuff but the vision pro is hardly a year old at this point so its nice to even have some basic material to get us started.Overall I found this well organized and very accessible for developers who are familiar with swift but want to get their hands on swiftUI.

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
