Elevate SwiftUI Skills by Building Projects

By: Frahaan Hussain

Overview of this book

Elevate SwiftUI Skills by Building Projects helps you harness the cutting-edge potential of SwiftUI and its innovative and user-friendly approach to crafting user interfaces for Apple platforms with the power of Swift. This book will enhance your UI programming skills with SwiftUI through a project-based methodology, guiding you to create four real-world projects. Starting with a quick recap of Swift and SwiftUI, you’ll gradually develop projects tailored for iPhone, iPad, macOS, and watchOS using Swift and Xcode. You’ll experience SwiftUI’s versatility in action as you build a tax calculator for iPhone and a photo gallery for the iPad, which uses a larger display to enhance the viewing experience. You’ll also create an app store for Mac and, finally, get to grips with the power of SwiftUI for smaller devices such as the Apple Watch by designing a Fitness Companion app. By the end of this book, you'll have built fully functional projects across multiple platforms and gained the expertise needed to excel as a professional SwiftUI developer.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered the history of Swift and SwiftUI, the features provided to us on a macro level, and how Swift and SwiftUI work on a technical level. Then, we looked at the difference between Swift and SwiftUI and what features are offered, along with code samples for you to take away and use in your own projects. After that, we took a look at the requirements necessary for developing applications with Swift and SwiftUI. Then, we took a look at the coding standards that are used throughout this book, providing a reference point for any coding style that is unfamiliar to your own. Then, we looked at the views and controls provided by SwiftUI for creating our own user experiences, including custom views by combining the fundamentals. Finally, we took a look at how we can organize these views using layouts and checked the device previews too.

In our next chapter, we’ll take a look at designing our first project, the tax calculator app that we will create.
