Great resource
Very comprehensive and easy to follow.

Excellent Book to Learn iOS Programming
This is an excellent book for Apple device owners that would like to learn to create an “app” for their device(s). The book is well supported by the author. I recommend that you get the Kindle version, because it has colored illustrations. The paperback version is only printed in greyscale so it is somewhat harder to use.

Easy to follow for beginners
Excellent book for beginners to learn iOS programming. Step by step instructions to create an App.

Lack of in-depth explanation
New concepts are explained very briefly. Author does not go in-depth in explaining each new concept. Explanation of each concept very trivial. Would not recommend for a beginner.

FOr beginners, not so easy.
If you’re a beginner in Swift, with experience in programming, this is for you. IF you’re a true beginner and never programmed before, this is not for you. I wish there was a book that provided a foundation.

A Mixed Bag for Aspiring iOS Developers
This book offers a solid introduction to Swift and iOS development, particularly for readers with little or no computer science background. The initial chapters cover programming fundamentals like variables, loops, arrays, and basic data structures (referred to as “Collection Types”) such as dictionaries and sets. While the explanations are clear, the book falls short in providing guidance on when and why to use specific data structures—a critical omission for beginners who might struggle to make informed decisions in practical scenarios.The subsequent sections delve into functions, closures, classes, structures, and enums. The coverage of closures is commendable, as this topic often challenges new developers. However, the discussion on choosing between classes and structures is too brief, offering only a cursory mention of value types versus reference types.The book introduces Swift concurrency and does a good job of explaining the async/await keywords and their impact on code execution flow. However, it lacks a deeper exploration of threading, queues, or parallelization, which are important concepts for more advanced projects.In its later chapters, the book focuses heavily on building an app using UIKit. While UIKit is still relevant, the decision to allocate only a single chapter to SwiftUI feels outdated. SwiftUI, with its modern approach and simplicity, is particularly well-suited for beginners and better aligned with the future of Apple’s platforms, including devices like the Vision Pro, which do not support UIKit. The limited SwiftUI coverage is a significant missed opportunity, leaving new developers underprepared to build apps using this framework.Overall, while this book provides a decent foundation for beginners, it lacks depth in critical areas and feels overly focused on UIKit, despite the industry’s shift toward SwiftUI. New developers should supplement this book with additional resources for SwiftUI and data structures to gain a more comprehensive understanding of iOS development.

Le livre suit un plan pédagogique efficace accompagné d’une vidéo à chaque chapitre, ce qui est original et efficace. On peut voir le résultat à obtenir et évite de longues réflexions lors d’une faute de frappe ou d’une mauvaise compréhension. Je recommande si vous lisez l’anglais. Au passage c’est un anglais facile à comprendre.
