Description

Swift is an exciting, multi-platform, general-purpose programming language, and with this book, you'll explore the features of its latest version, Swift 5.3. The book begins with an introduction to the basic building blocks of Swift 5.3, its syntax, and the functionalities of Swift constructs. You’ll then discover how Swift Playgrounds provide an ideal platform to write, execute, and debug your Swift code. As you advance through the chapters, the book will show you how to bundle variables into tuples or sets, order your data with an array, store key-value pairs with dictionaries, and use property observers. You’ll also get to grips with the decision-making and control structures in Swift, examine advanced features such as generics and operators, and explore functionalities outside of the standard library. Once you’ve learned how to build iOS applications using UIKit, you'll find out how to use Swift for server-side programming, run Swift on Linux, and investigate Vapor. Finally, you'll discover some of the newest features of Swift 5.3 using SwiftUI and Combine to build adaptive and reactive applications, and find out how to use Swift to build and integrate machine learning models along with Apple’s Vision Framework. By the end of this Swift book, you'll have discovered solutions to boost your productivity while developing code using Swift 5.3.

Who is this book for?

I’m an iOS developer working professionally at a bank in london, and wanted to really consolidate some of the more advanced Swift concepts, adding them to my toolkit. This book is written very well, and the layout of the knowledge it contains is quintessential! I’m very happy I picked this up, and thank you to the authors for taking the time to write this very valuable book for those serious about learning Swift :)

The book provides a very comprehensive write up of all the elements of Swift, and the most up to date methodologies. It was awesome reading through the book to hear from experts who have worked with the language for a long period of time.Overall this was a great read, and I would recommend this to anyone— Junior Dev to senior!

An excellent reference book that I will go back to many times for clear examples, best suited for intermediate to advanced level developers. This book provides a structured explanation of all essential real-world iOS app components. The subject matter is presented in an understandable manner with excellent examples and code that really works. I highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to develop apps for IOS using Swift.

I used this book in addition to the Apple documentation.The explanations for most recipes were clear. I could refer to and modify the sample code to better understand the topics.I hope they had a section on ARKit. That’s the only topic that I couldn’t find.

This is a great book for someone who has started learning about swift and is trying to advance their knowledge. There is one chapter that summarizes the very basics of swift but I felt like it moves a little fast for someone who is new to programing. This is a good thing, because it leaves more room for slightly advanced topics. Im going to list my top 3 favorite topics in this book because I think they will spark interest in anyone on the fence:1) Generics. This book has about 20 pages that cover generics with some real world examples to give you a strong foundation.2) XCTest/XCUIText: another 20 pages covering how to test your code. Anyone on the job market knows that most employers put in their job descriptions they want developers who write testable code. This book covers that. Its really important. When my coworker interviewed last year he was told he was the only candidate who took the time to write unit tests and he swears its the reason he was hired. READ THIS CHAPTER3) Closures: This is actually covered in the intro chapter and I dont want to sound new but I swear these never fully clicked for me until recently and this book gives a real world example that I wish I had a year ago because I think I would have understood them faster.Hopefully this helps anyone get an idea of this book will be helpful. I certainly found it to be. I would rate it at 4.8 stars because some areas would have benefited from a little more in depth explanations but there is some great example code in here and this will be my go-to reference for the immediate future so I'm rounding up to 5 stars.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

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.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

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.
