Chris and Florian’s new guide Considering in SwiftUI got here out in March 2020 already, so I’m late to the get together with this announcement. However I nonetheless need to point out it right here as a result of (a) it’s a superb guide and (b) I had a small half in its creation as a reviewer. This week’s launch of an up to date model for the most recent SwiftUI model is an effective alternative.
The guide is brief (150 pages), and that’s certainly one of its strengths. It doesn’t need to be a complete reference handbook for each SwiftUI API — fairly, it needs to assist readers construct a psychological mannequin of how SwiftUI works on a elementary stage.
The primary version obtained a variety of reward on Twitter (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The second version consists of new content material on among the new SwiftUI options which can be a part of iOS 14/macOS 11, in addition to refined explanations on SwiftUI’s format system. When you’re a Swift Speak subscriber, you already know that Florian and Chris did a deep dive into the format system this 12 months.
I’m a giant fan of the workout routines included within the guide. Every chapter ends with a number of workout routines that encourage you to resolve a practical drawback utilizing the stuff you simply realized. Personally, doing the workout routines undoubtedly gave me a deeper understanding of the fabric than simply studying about it.
On a facet be aware, I like this work as a reviewer, and I feel I’m good at it. I you’re planning to jot down a guide about Swift or iOS and are in search of a technical reviewer, hit me up.
