Key benefits

  • Explore the basics of declarative programming and animation
  • Understand the fundamentals of SwiftUI and animatable properties
  • Learn while working on beginner-to-advanced level animation projects

Description

Swift and SwiftUI are the backbone of Apple application development, making them a crucial skill set to learn. Animating SwiftUI Applications focuses on the creation of stunning animations, making you proficient in this declarative language and employing a minimal code approach. In this book, you'll start by exploring the fundamentals of SwiftUI and animation, before jumping into various projects that will cement these skills in practice. You will explore some simple projects, like animating circles, creating color spectrums with hueRotation, animating individual parts of an image, as well as combining multiple views together to produce dynamic creations. The book will then transition into more advanced animation projects that employ the GeometryReader, which helps align your animations across different devices, as well as creating word and color games. Finally, you will learn how to integrate the SpriteKit framework into our SwiftUI code to create scenes with wind, fire, rain, and or snow scene, along with adding physics, gravity, collisions, and particle emitters to your animations. By the end of this book, you’ll have created a number of different animation projects, and will have gained a deep understanding of SwiftUI that can be used for your own creations.

Who is this book for?

This book is for aspiring SwiftUI developers who have a basic understanding of Swift. It can also be used by SwiftUI developers, UIKit developers, and iOS developers that are new to SwiftUI and want to improve their animation proficiency.

What you will learn

  • Understand the fundamentals of SwiftUI and declarative programming
  • Master animation concepts like state variables and time curves
  • Explore animation properties like hueRotation, opacity, and scale
  • Create animations using physics, gravity, collision, and more
  • Use the GeometryReader to align views across various platformsCombine different animations for more dynamic effects

Reading through this book and making the projects was a great time, and I recommend it even if you don't necessarily consider yourself a Swift / iOS developer.In fact, I believe this is much better introduction to SwiftUI than the path I took. The projects are interesting, and you'll take away some transferable general animation knowledge.It covers all the topics you'd expect, such as custom views, modifiers, previews, built-in views, timing, closures, layouts, etc.

Stephen's "Animating SwiftUI Applications" is an exceptional resource for iOS developers seeking to master animations in SwiftUI. The guide offers a comprehensive approach to the subject matter, and I have found it to be an invaluable tool for expanding my knowledge and skills in this domain. As an experienced iOS developer and reviewer, I must say that this book is an exceptional learning resource that comprehensively covers all the fundamental concepts pertaining to animations in SwiftUI.The book's exceptional quality lies in its aptitude to elucidate fundamental concepts and address queries that iOS developers may encounter while animating in SwiftUI. The author's writing exhibits a remarkable clarity and concision, rendering the content easily comprehensible and navigable for the readers. This comprehensive guide delves into a plethora of topics, ranging from basic animations such as "Breath Mindfulness" to intricate techniques, offering in-depth insights into every facet of animation in SwiftUI.The book's noteworthy attribute lies in its ability to cater to novice SwiftUI developers with ease. Developers with a minimum of 3-4 months of experience in SwiftUI can effortlessly comprehend the material and acquire the skills to design captivating animations. This book is a great resource for developers of all levels, from novices to seasoned professionals, seeking to enhance their animation expertise.I understand the initial hesitation one may have when considering the use of an ebook or other formats. It can be challenging to compare the results of your work with the content in the book. Initially, I had some apprehensions regarding the book's efficacy, but as I delved deeper into the material and implemented the concepts, my reservations were assuaged. I must say, the results I achieved were quite impressive, and I must admit that the ebook format did not impede my learning experience.Stephen's "Animating SwiftUI Applications" is an essential resource for those seeking to elevate their proficiency in SwiftUI animations and augment the user experience of their applications. This publication exhibits exceptional craftsmanship, comprehensiveness, and a wealth of valuable insights. As an experienced iOS developer, I would suggest that while digital copies of books are convenient, there is something to be said for the tactile experience of reading a physical book. Therefore, my personal preference would be for a hard copy of the book. I strongly endorse this book to all iOS developers, irrespective of their proficiency level with SwiftUI.
