About the Book
Ever wanted to write an iOS app? Interested in Swift? Didn't know where to start? This book is for you.
This isn't like other books – we dive right into writing apps, as quickly as possible. We don't worry too much about syntax right away because we know that you'll pick it up as we go along. The concepts are what matters.
You'll be guided through the entire application development process: creating your first Xcode project, laying out your app's user interface, writing code to make your app functional, localizing the app for mutlitple languages, and submitting your app to the App Store.
This book presents everything you need to know to build and submit your first app.
