{"product_id":"b0hjjpv13j","title":"Swift for Absolute Beginners : From Zero to Your First Swift App","description":"\u003cp\u003eLearn Swift from scratch — and build something real from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSwift for Absolute Beginners  teaches Apple's modern programming language from first principles through one continuously evolving project:  ContactCard , a practical contact management application that grows with you throughout the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou won't learn Swift through disconnected toy examples. Every major concept is introduced when the project needs it, allowing you to see not only how Swift syntax works, but why each feature matters when building real software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStarting with a simple program, you will progressively turn ContactCard into a structured, tested, persistent application with an HTTP API. Along the way, you will write the code yourself and see how individual Swift features combine to create a complete working system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT YOU WILL LEARN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Swift fundamentals: variables, constants, types, type inference, and control flow\u003cbr\u003e\n• Structs, classes, enums, protocols, and generics\u003cbr\u003e\n• Optionals and safe unwrapping with if let, guard let, and nil coalescing\u003cbr\u003e\n• Collections, higher-order functions, and closures\u003cbr\u003e\n• Error handling and reliable failure management\u003cbr\u003e\n• Codable serialization and JSON file persistence\u003cbr\u003e\n• File management and practical data storage\u003cbr\u003e\n• Asynchronous programming with async\/await and Kotlin-style coroutine concepts adapted to Swift\u003cbr\u003e\n• Swift Package Manager and professional Xcode project workflows\u003cbr\u003e\n• Building and testing a complete Swift application\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBUILD THE CONTACTCARD PROJECT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContactCard starts small and grows chapter by chapter. You will add contacts, list and search them, update and delete records, validate data, persist information to JSON, handle errors, and expose the application through an HTTP API.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy the end, you will have built a structured and testable Swift project rather than simply completed a collection of programming exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNO PRIOR SWIFT EXPERIENCE REQUIRED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for complete beginners. You do not need previous Swift programming experience or knowledge of iOS development. You need a Mac with Xcode installed and a willingness to write code and learn by building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe focus is deliberately practical: open Xcode, write the code, run it, test it, understand the result, and then build the next feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWHERE THIS BOOK TAKES YOU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSwift for Absolute Beginners is Book One of the  Swift for Absolute Beginners  series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBook Two  takes ContactCard to iPhone with SwiftUI.\u003cbr\u003e\nBook Three  brings the project to macOS.\u003cbr\u003e\nBook Four  builds the server-side backend with Vapor and PostgreSQL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to learn  Swift programming  by building a real project from the ground up, this is where the journey begins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52855418192088,"sku":"YSL83701","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71krbEvcPoL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793418714","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0hjjpv13j","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
