Description

Swift is the definitive language of Apple development today. It’s a vital part of any iOS and OS X developer’s skillset, helping them to build the most impressive and popular apps on the App Store—the sort of apps that are essential to iPhone and iPad users every day. With version 3.0, the Swift team have added new features to improve the development experience—making it easier to get the results you want and customers expect. Inside, you’ll find the key features of Swift 3.0 and quickly learn how to use the newest updates to your development advantage. From Objective-C interoperability to ARC, to closures and concurrency, this advanced Swift guide will develop your expertise and make you more fluent in this vital programming language. We give you in-depth knowledge of some of the most sophisticated elements of Swift development including protocol extensions, error-handling, design patterns, and concurrency, and guide you on how to use and apply them in your own projects. You'll see how even the most challenging design patterns and programming techniques can be used to write cleaner code and to build more performant iOS and OS X applications. By the end of this book, you’ll have a handle on effective design patterns and techniques, which means you’ll soon be writing better iOS and OS X applications with a new level of sophistication and control.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers who want to dive into the newest version of Swift. If you are a developer that learns best by looking at, and working with code, then this book is for you. A basic understanding of Apple's tools is beneficial but not mandatory.

I was the technical reviewer for this book. This means I had a minor role in the production of this book. But it also means that i did read earlier drafts of this book fairly thoroughly. I can't very well give a comment on typos because I did not read the final version of every chapter. So my short review:The book gives a good introduction to Swift in it’s most current iteration. It explains critical concepts of the language like optionals, generics and closures without over-complicating them. Being a book specifically on Swift 3 it points out differences between earlier version of the language and this most current one. Jon’s style of writing is easy to follow and understand.I especially liked that the book does a detour and suggest how a few common design patterns could sensibly be adopted in Swift 3. For programmers coming from other languages this can be valuable as it shows familiar functionality done with a new set of tools.Although Swift 3 does not contain any language level concurrency Mastering Swift 3 explains existing technologies to deal with asynchronous problems. This includes an introduction to Grand Central Dispatch and Operation queues.I think the book does a good job of giving the reader an intoduction to Swift and to real world programming in this language.
