Description

Swift is a programming language for creating iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps. Swift builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C compatibility. Swift adopts safe programming patterns and adds modern features to make programming easier, more flexible, and more fun. Swift’s clean slate, backed by the mature and much-loved Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks, is an opportunity to reimagine how software development works.

This book provides:
- A tour of the language.
- A detailed guide delving into each language feature.
- A formal reference for the language.

Reviews

  • Abandoned, years out of date.

    By Oft disappointed
    I was excited to stumble across this (no mention of it existing anywhere I’ve been), as it provided the hope of an accessible version of the “Swift Book”. A version I could actually recommend to those who’d yet to struggle through learning this language and the wider platform without accessible documentation, or documentation at all. Unfortunately, it proved yet another example of Apple’s abandonment of educational outreach, accessibility, and respect for their developers in general. Disappointing, but expected.

    It’s not a bad book, but is out of date. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be an updated ePub or PDF version of this book.
  • Version 5.7 has not been updated in a long time

    This version is out of date, and Apple no longer provides an ePub Swift reference.

    Nice work, Apple. You created the herpes of ebooks. Once you have it you can’t get rid of it.

    Nonsense! I must of accidentally from Safari looking for a PDF document related to the Dominican Religious Order and this document of over 1,000 pages was downloaded to MyBooks. I tried to delete from my iPhone and it went into my iCloud account and then shows up as “BUY” on my MyBooks. Trying to delete it is showing up as a ghost in my iCloud account! I am accusing this nonsense to a conspiracy by Apple! Get this crap out of my life!

  • Basic Knowledge Required

    By Habhu
    Written by someone extremely knowledgeable about Swift. But not knowledgeable about how to convey that knowledge to someone who knows nothing about Swift. F or instance, what does “(_:_:)” mean, or stand for? I want to learn, not be impressed.
  • Good Book and Has A lot of Detail for IOS
