As someone who has been working with Swift recently, I've learned a lot from this book while diving into the latest advancements in UI development for Apple platforms.The author covers both the fundamentals of SwiftUI (which served as a nice refresher) and more advanced topics like concurrency, animations, app architecture, and includes a final chapter exploring Apple Vision Pro.Since writing more Swift, I've come to realize just how elegant and expressive the language can be. It’s now clear to me why so many developers love it, and why it's increasingly being used on the server-side with frameworks like Vapor. When combined with SwiftUI’s structs and modifiers, the result is a beautiful, declarative approach to building user interfaces.I recommend this book to anyone looking to get up to speed with SwiftUI. It covers everything you need to get started (with some welcome extras!).

I recently read "iOS Developer's Guide to SwiftUI" and it has quickly become an invaluable resource in my iOS development journey. Whether you're a seasoned developer looking to transition from UIKit to SwiftUI or a newcomer eager to dive into the world of iOS development, this book is a fantastic guide that covers all the essentials and more.The book excels in breaking down the complex topics into manageable, easy-to-understand segments. Starting from the basics, it meticulously guides you through creating views and modifiers before progressing to more advanced and intricate user interface designs. The hands-on approach makes the learning process engaging and effective.One of the standout features of this book is its focus on the declarative programming approach, which is the backbone of SwiftUI. The explanations are clear, and the examples are practical, helping you to grasp how to structure and maintain clean app architecture. The book doesn't just stop at the basics; it dives deep into asynchronous programming and modern architecture patterns, ensuring you can build efficient and well-structured apps.The full-color images and diagrams are incredibly helpful, making it easier to follow along and visualize the concepts being discussed. Moreover, the integration of SwiftUI with other relevant frameworks is covered in detail, allowing you to create professional and responsive applications.The inclusion of chapters on animations, graphics, and user gestures is a huge plus, enabling you to build highly interactive and visually appealing UIs. The book also offers comprehensive insights into persistence with Core Data, structured concurrency, and consuming REST services in SwiftUI, which are crucial for developing modern apps.Additionally, the book's section on integrating SwiftUI with UIKit is invaluable for those transitioning from older projects or looking to enhance their current apps with SwiftUI features. The final chapters on testing and debugging SwiftUI applications provide essential techniques to ensure your apps are robust and error-free.Overall, "iOS Developer's Guide to SwiftUI" is a must-have for any iOS developer's library. The purchase of the print or Kindle version also includes a free PDF eBook, which is a great bonus for reading on the go. This book has greatly boosted my confidence in using SwiftUI and has equipped me with the skills to build professional-grade applications. Highly recommended!

As a bookworm I like checking out the latest books. I came across Michele Fadda's "An iOS Developer's Guide to SwiftUI: Design and build beautiful apps quickly and easily with minimum code."As a former software engineer I still check out books on the topic, just to get a sense of how contemporary software looks like.To my surprise in chapter 11 - "App Architecture and SwiftUI" - there are many dots being connected. From building architecture to software architecture. User Journey mapping and non-functional requirements. Culture. Conflicts. Bauhaus school of architecture. Software patterns. Christopher Alexander. Agency theory and (bad) architecture. And more.In short it connects the dots of [software] architecture with elements of organizational design -- one of the pillars of my TameFlow Approach, especially with my the organizational design patterns perspective.The rest of the book is packed with ideas and real code. I'm no longer into coding, but if I were, I'd keep this book full with bookmarks beside my keyboard.

This book is for people who already have a grasp on swift and are looking to dig a little deeper into swiftUI specifically. He covers a little on xcode and even some bugs that we encounter which is helpful to be warned about because its confusing to encounter these things but he does not waste time talking about the most basic concepts related to swift in general which is a plus for me because Ive been developing for a while now and dont need these covered in every book I go through.The book does a good job using scaffolding as a teaching process. The author will introduce some basic concepts like how to construct views, then the next chapter you will learn how to let the user interact with those views. Overall its a really good flow and easy to follow.The book goes pretty in depth on navigation which is helpful because swiftUI handles navigation pretty differently from traditional swift.There are pictures in the book so you can compare the app he is walking you through building with the app on your screen to make sure you are following along correctly. If you get totally lost the source code is linked in the book so you can compare it to your project.The book also covers some newer concepts like SwiftData which I havent worked with before so that was cool and theres a chapter on the apple vision pro which I was pretty impressed with. Its basic stuff but the vision pro is hardly a year old at this point so its nice to even have some basic material to get us started.Overall I found this well organized and very accessible for developers who are familiar with swift but want to get their hands on swiftUI.

Full disclosure: I have only reviewed chapter 1 of this book as I am not very technical. I was basically curious to see what my genius friend has been busy writing.What Michele has achieved is very impressive. This is obviously a very technical book, but there's a lightness of touch here that almost feels as though we're just having a chat down the pub.I haven't had to rely on such technical manuals for years. But as the text here is so very readable, I'm sure this would be a super useful book for anyone looking to acquire these skills. The text is also populated with several relevant and helpful screenshots (which it must be said, is not always the case in books like this).Good work Mr. Fadda, I'm impressed.
