Swift (iOS/macOS) for Beginners: Complete Course

The book "Swift (iOS/macOS) for Beginners: The Complete Course" is the perfect guide for those who want to master development for the Apple ecosystem from scratch. Whether you dream of creating your first app for iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or are planning a career as an iOS developer, this course will take you through all the stages — from installing Xcode to publishing a finished product on the App Store.

What is this book about?

The book is built on the principle of "from simple to complex." You will start with the basics of Swift syntax: variables, data types, functions, closures, and memory management. Then you will move on to interface development using SwiftUI — a modern framework from Apple that allows you to create responsive and beautiful apps with minimal code.

Special attention is given to practical projects. In each chapter, you will write real code, and by the end of the book, you will create a fully functional app that you can run on your device. You will learn:

• How to work with navigation, tables, forms, and gestures;
• How to connect databases (Core Data, Firebase) and work with the network (URLSession, REST API);
• How to test and debug apps in the simulator and on a real device;
• How to prepare a project for publication and set up a developer account.

Who is this book for?

• Beginner programmers — no experience required. You will learn to think like a developer and write clean code.
• Web developers looking to expand their skills to the mobile platform;
• Students and hobby developers dreaming of creating their own app for iOS or macOS.

What will you learn after reading?

• Confidently write in Swift: from simple scripts to multithreaded applications;
• Design interfaces in SwiftUI and work with UIKit when necessary;
• Integrate third-party libraries via Swift Package Manager;
• Understand the app lifecycle and manage state;
• Build and publish an app on the App Store.

The book is written in accessible language, contains many illustrations, code examples, and practical tasks. All projects can be downloaded from GitHub and run immediately in Xcode. This is not just a textbook — it is your personal mentor in the world of Apple development.
