Summary : If you want to become an iOS developer, you have made an excellent choice with this book. Swift holds a significant position in the iOS industry because of the long list of features it serves. It is user-friendly, has great community support, and offers a greater extent of customization. As a result, we can observe a sharp increase in the market demand for developing Apple mobile applications, and with that, companies search for smart developers with the right skill set. Mastering Swift introduces Apple's excellent Swift standard library style and incorporates usage feedback across multiple Swift projects. However, it should be regarded as a living, changeable document and the basis upon which the programming language is implemented. Before going further into the details of the Swift programming language, the book briefly explains the basic information about the language. It is a high-level language created to develop multifaceted iOS applications that cater to diverse needs of different social and business domains. It is meant to develop high-end apps with multiple complexities. But since it is very close to Objective C, it is easy to code and understand. This feature also makes it incredibly friendly to beginners. Moreover, it is equally compatible with the iPhone, the iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, and Apple TV, and it can be applied to develop equally efficient and scalable apps for them. This book in the Mastering series encircles all the essential aspects of Swift and explores why this programming language is the future for iOS app development. Different from other languages, it requires fewer lines to activate any feature. This paves the way for a shorter development cycle and saves a lot of precious resources. Further, as one of the most reliable iOS programming languages it supports dynamic libraries that indicate executable bits of code that you can link to an application. Because of such support, Swift apps can interoperate with the newest version of the language to make the app irreplaceable. Swift is a language that was not designed but deliberately made open source so as to invite community input, allowing the product to grow and to mature over the years. This could possibly be the most crucial aspect of Swift. As people become more aware of its potential to be used in servers, web frameworks were more willing to support the demand. Owing to its popularity and significance, its adoption rate in Apple's rivals remains very high. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, if you are planning for iOS app development through Swift, this book can help with the high-domain expertise and experienced resources. Without a doubt, the developers that create native apps are not going to abandon Swift anytime soon. However, it seems like something must evolve for it to keep growing constantly. We believe that Swift is indeed the future for iOS app developers. And if you are convinced and want to start learning the programming language right away, then this book is what you're looking for.

Summary : "I don't feel in control of my project's architecture." - You"MVC simply doesn't cut it. There must be a better solution." - Yours TrulyDespite its widespread, the Model-View-Controller pattern just doesn't cut it for most Swift projects. Take control of your Swift projects with the Model-View-ViewModel pattern.Massive View Controller SyndromeFiring up Xcode and starting a new project is a great feeling. The first few days or weeks don't feel like work. Everything goes according to plan.But as the code base of your project grows, it becomes harder and harder to manage the project. The view controllers of your project start to put on weight ... a lot of weight. They become more than view controllers. They take on responsibilities they didn't sign up for. Don't they?Yet you've done everything right. You've stuck to the rules of the Model-View-Controller pattern. Why have you coded yourself in a corner? And why is it frustrating or downright scary to add features or refactor existing functionality?It's Time to Cure MVCIf your project is suffering from Massive View Controller syndrome, then the Model-View-ViewModel pattern is the cure to your problem. The Model-View-ViewModel pattern has been around for many, many years, but it only recently gained traction in the Cocoa community.MVVM extends MVC by resolving common issues. The result is a robust application architecture with lean view controllers, improved testability, and a better separation of concerns. How does that sound?Take Control of Your Project With MVVMIn Mastering MVVM With Swift, we refactor an existing application built with MVC to use MVVM instead. The results are dramatic and the MVVM pattern is surprisingly easy to adopt in your own projects.You learn the differences between Model-View-Controller and Model-View-ViewModel, highlighting the benefits Model-View-ViewModel has over Model-View-Controller.After a short introduction, we take an application built with Model-View-Controller and refactor it to use Model-View-ViewModel instead. Along the way, you learn about the anatomy of view models, how to create them, and how to test them.Last but not least, we add protocols and protocol-oriented programming to the mix to further simplify the view controllers in the project.At the end of this course, you have the knowledge and, more importantly, the hands-on experience to apply Model-View-ViewModel in your own projects.Ready for Xcode 9 and Swift 4In Mastering MVVM With Swift, you learn everything you need to know to integrate MVVM in a new or an existing Swift project. We focus on the key aspects of the pattern and refactor an application that takes advantage of the core features of MVVM. We use the latest and greatest to build an application, which means we use Xcode 9 and Swift 4.Battling Massive View Controller SyndromeAre the view controllers of your projects suffering from Massive View Controller syndrome? You've carefully crafted the architecture of your application using the Model-View-Controller pattern and, yet, the view controllers of your project are ready to burst and they're impossible to test.Adding a feature forces you to wade through hundreds of lines of code. You hope you don't break anything while you carefully add a few lines of code. Don't get me wrong. Your code isn't bad. But there's just so much of it. You've applied the Model-View-Controller pattern like you were told to and you still end up with an architecture you aren't quite happy with. Does this sound familiar?It's Not You. It's MVC.Because Apple's frameworks are impregnated with the Model-View-Controller pattern we think it's the right or only tool for the job. Don't make the same mistake. There's nothing wrong with the Model-View-Controller pattern, but there are better alternatives, especially if you're using Swift.
