Swift (iOS/macOS) for Beginners: Complete Course

The book "Swift (iOS/macOS) for Beginners: Complete Course" is a practical guide that will take you from installing Xcode to publishing your first app in the App Store. No unnecessary theory — only what you need to start in the world of Apple development.

The author, Alexey Voronov, an experienced iOS developer with 8 years of experience, has gathered in one book all the key topics a beginner needs. You will learn how the Swift language works, how to work with the Xcode interface, create adaptive interfaces in UIKit and SwiftUI, connect databases, and work with the network.

Who is this book for?

• For those who have never programmed but want to create apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
• For programmers in other languages (Python, Java, C#) who want to learn Swift.
• For students and schoolchildren studying mobile development.
• For anyone who dreams of publishing their idea on the App Store.

What you will learn from the book:

• Swift basics: variables, functions, closures, protocols, structures, and classes.
• Working with Xcode: navigation, Interface Builder, simulator, debugging.
• Creating interfaces in UIKit (Storyboard, Auto Layout) and SwiftUI (declarative approach).
• Working with data: Core Data, UserDefaults, working with JSON and REST API.
• Multithreading (GCD, async/await) and working with the network (URLSession).
• Integration of maps (MapKit), camera, notifications, and in-app purchases.
• Preparing the app for publication: icons, screenshots, App Store Connect.

Book features:

• Step-by-step instructions and ready-made projects (Todo list, Weather, News Feed).
• Screenshots and diagrams for clarity.
• Code examples that can be run immediately in Xcode.
• Optimization tips and common beginner mistakes.

After reading, you will be able to independently develop apps for iOS and macOS, understand other people's code, work with Git, and publish projects on the App Store. The book is suitable both for self-study and for courses in mobile development.
