Picture Guide to iOS Programming

This book is intended to serve as a guide to creating applications from scratch with the Swift programming language. I have been programming in Swift since its beta release and believe that it provides a more simplified approach to app development compared to its predecessor Objective-C. I have no doubt that the new programming language will appeal not only to seasoned programmers who wish to transfer their applications from other platforms, but to newbies alike.

A picture is worth a thousand words so what better way to help you absorb the vast amount of information provided in this guide, required to get you started with programming in Swift, than to employ the help of supporting visuals.

Learning a new programming language can be very boring when you don’t get the opportunity to put knowledge into practice right away.

In this book you will have the opportunity to write code, use Apple technologies and create multiple applications that would be eligible for distribution by Apple.
