SwiftUI Cookbook - Second Edition: A guide to solving the most common problems and learning best practices while building SwiftUI apps Paperback – Import, 1 November 2021

I am an passionate iOS developer. It's been since quite some time I wanted to get hands on with SwiftUI. This book helped me get started and is one of the best book for SwiftUI with very good examples hosted on GitHub. I would like to thank Authors of this book @Giordano Scalzo & @Edgar Nzokwe for this book. Good to have in your library for iOS technology professionals.

This is Amazing book for beginners to experts. It covers basics to advance concepts with clear examples and very helpful book.

I got a chance to read this book, It's really nice. The contents are enriched with samples. Topics are covered with good examples. Thanks for your effort behind this book.

Liked it. Has a lot of great tips. However, I wish they would include more information. For example, working with PDF kit editing PDF files.

Helpful practical transition from UIKit to SwiftUI.

If you purchase this book expecting to learn SwiftUI you are looking at the wrong book. This book is nothing but code samples that are not connected in any way whatsoever. They give you a code example for making simple elements such as TextField, Form, Group, NavigationView, etc. but never connects the code together and 1 out 10 code examples contain errors that if you are not experienced with the Swift language will be very frustrating to fix on your own because the GitHub repository for this book does not contain most of the files needed to complete some of the code examples.For example, in Chapter 4, the last project UsingMockDataForPreviews is suppose to teach you how to read a .json file that normally would be received from a server, however, the .json file that is suppose to be in the GitHub repository is missing and nowhere to be found. If you already have experience with JSON then you can easily make your own file based on the data structure but that is not the point in a book teaching something. A lot of people that read this book has very little to no JSON experience and this is a completely blown opportunity to teach what you set out to because the .json file is missing. I could go on and on with examples such as this in this one book with errors upon errors and this isn't even mentioning that the code examples are so hard to read and type yourself since the font of the book is 40 points, like it was made for elderly people that cannot see, this just jumbles everything up and is a complete mess.This book will give you a brief overview of the elements you build with in SwiftUI but will not teach you how to put everything together, they will give code samples and say now you can add this or that to it to make it better but never explains how one should go about connecting everything together and that is a complete shame and laziness on the authors part. If they hadn't used a 40 point font for the print to make the book look like it is a comprehensive guide when in reality it is only a reference book and that's it.This is one of the sorriest excuses for a programming book that I have seen in my 27 years of programming. If I could give it zero (0) stars I would have, only buy this book if you need a reference book, if you want to learn SwiftUI, use Google or another book. Let's hope Big Nerd Ranch publishes a SwiftUI book in the future as they know how to write a book that teaches someone something instead of just showing this is how you do something and it works (in the case of this book, most of the time it don't work) so be happy with it.Final word: Lazy, Sorry example for a computer science book, the tech world deserves better than this jumbled-up mess of words constructed together by people who's first language probably isn't English either and maybe that's the problem here, I don't know and don't really care, I just know it's crap.

Not sure who decided that a Zebra-striped text is a good idea for a "printed" book, but I literally struggled for a week to read it. There is absolutely no contrast between a somewhat black text and a super dark gray background. I enjoy perfect eye-sight but I got dizzy real quick, and every hour. Just look at my attached page, if you don't believe me.Do yourself a favor and either buy an electronic version (that I haven't seen), or "lucky for us" the 3rd edition that just got released two months ago. Fortunately, it uses a solid (non-zebra) gray background that might be easier on our eyes and brain.
