This book highlights the most important topics for iOS interview prep. Some sections might be less frequently asked questions but pretty informative nevertheless.This book helped me as a good resource of revising my prep before interviews. To make the most of the book, I would definitely recommend to consider the questions as topics to study and supplement your knowledge with other resources online, if you wish to go deeper into a topic. (Eg. The book mentions NSLock, but reading more about the topic will help you understand some other types of locks like NSRecursiveLock)Overall, well written, and worth reading for interview preparation.

I recently had the privilege of reading "The Ultimate iOS Interview Playbook" by Avi Tsadok, and I must say that this book is great for anyone looking to get a job as an iOS developer.The book does a good job of covering all aspects of preparing for an iOS technical interview. I personally found the section covering preparing your resume to be invaluable. I applied several tips to spruce up my own resume.The book seems to address three core groups of developers who can benefit from the contents:1) Junior Developers who are looking for their first job. The book offers guidance on the minimum skills and knowledge required to secure a position as a junior iOS developer and start a successful career.2) Mid-level and Senior developers looking to advance. The book gives valuable insight into the skills needed to advance to the next level.3) Senior developers who need to revisit topics. For experienced developers who need to brush up on APIs that they have not used in awhile this book is perfect for revisiting those fundamentals.The book also does a great job of handling the legacy of UIKit while also providing coverage SwiftUI which is the future of iOS development. Many developers who get jobs will still encounter apps that are built with UIKit and it is important to have knowledge of those important frameworks.The final chapter that goes over the aspects of how to handle the technical interview are worth the purchase alone. This chapter gives developers a clear plan to succeed whether it is whiteboard coding or a take home test.This is a book that should be in the library of every iOS and Mac developer.

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.

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:
