This is the first iOS programming book I really enjoyed reading. Being an Android and Web developer the iOS concepts never really clicked in my head when I was reading articles or when I was watching the Stanford lectures. I always stumbled my way through whenever an iOS job came up.After having read this book things really fell in place in my mind, I now have a decent idea what I'm doing on iOS. It's a very nicely struck balance of basic explanations, thorough instructions and very good code samples to go with it all. The book is well structured and easy to follow along but it's just as easy to pick out specific areas you wish to study and jump right into the middle of it. I'd very much recommend it to anyone who is just starting out on iOS and wants to understand not only how the UI framework works but also learn about the more basic concepts of iOS development. 5/5

Let's say at the outset that I really like this book. I read a lot of computer books and it's often the case that the books cover the subject but getting at what you want requires working through examples (do this, do that .. ) in a series of exercises. This isn't a book like that - thank goodness.The book guides you through the interface concepts of IOS and explains them in a very clear and concise way. If you read through the book you should have a really good understanding about how UIs are built in IOS. The explanations are very clear and it's nice to see examples that show you how to reskin a slider or build your own UI component of your own.The book covers 'conventional' UI building but doesn't cover the frameworks used for building many games spritekit(2D) and scenekit (3D).The book is described as being suitable for beginner and experienced developers and I would agree with that. If you are very new to iPhone development, don't make this the first book that you read. Make something with the tutorial style books, then when you want to properly understand how things work without doing a ton of follow-me tutorials, buy this book.My favourite computer book BY FAR in recent times. I really hope the author writes more.

This book is a wonderful read. I absolutely loved it. The book is described as being suitable for beginner and experienced developers and I would agree with that. The book guides you through the interface concepts of IOS and explains them in a very crisp and precise manner. I would certainly recommend this book.

I like this book because explain the code for design layout and autolayout with code for practice and the conplete code for the samples of the book. I like that the books has examples and code. It's simple and explain some tips for the interface builder. I think that is a good book for help to know about the layout in ios

Pretty much useless book. It scratches just a surface of the such huge topic as iOS UI. Especially taking into account incredible high price.
