This is the definitive guide to the Swift programming language and the i OS 9 SDK, and the source code has been updated to reflect Xcode 7 and Swift 2.
There’s up-to-date coverage of new Apple technologies as well as significant updates to existing material. You’ll have everything you need to create your very own apps for the latest i OS devices. Every single sample app in the book has been rebuilt from scratch using the latest Xcode and the latest 64-bit i OS 9-specific project templates, and designed to take advantage of the latest Xcode features.
Assuming little or no working knowledge of the new Swift programming language, and written in a friendly, easy-to-follow style, this book offers a complete soup-to-nuts course in i Phone, i Pad, and i Pod touch programming. The book starts with the basics, walking through the process of downloading and installing Xcode and the i OS 9 SDK, and then guides you though the creation of your first simple application.
From there, you’ll learn how to integrate all the interface elements i OS users have come to know and love, such as buttons, switches, pickers, toolbars, and sliders. You’ll master a variety of design patterns, from the simplest single view to complex hierarchical drill-downs. The art of table building will be demystified, and you’ll learn how to save your data using the i Phone file system. You’ll also learn how to save and retrieve your data using a variety of persistence techniques, including Core Data and SQLite. And there’s much more!
