Over the past months, we now have labored arduous at updating our e book Pondering in SwiftUI. Over the previous years, we had the prospect to conduct SwiftUI workshops for a lot of corporations. Based mostly on this expertise and the suggestions we acquired, our strategy to explaining SwiftUI has advanced so much. Subsequently, we selected to do a full rewrite of the e book to be on par with our workshops.
The overall construction nonetheless is similar to the earlier version, however the content material is model new. We put a variety of emphasis on explaining view timber (which the truth is would be the first chapter of the e book) on this new version, in addition to how view timber are interpreted when it comes to state, format, animations, and extra. The e book contains so much of latest diagrams to visualise these ideas.
After WWDC, we have been a bit torn about what to do. Ought to we put out a e book with out mentioning all the brand new issues? This might be bizarre for those that can goal iOS 17 / macOS 14. But rewriting the whole e book for iOS 17 solely can also be not an choice, as many people nonetheless need to help older platforms. As an alternative, we selected to amend the present chapters with callout containers, mentioning related adjustments. As well as, we’ll have a separate iOS 17 chapter in the intervening time. For the ultimate launch of the e book (as soon as the brand new stuff is out of beta) we’ll attempt to combine the contents of that chapter into the remainder of the e book.
Resulting from this transition section, we have determined to launch the brand new version as a beta model. We plan to place out the chapters one-by-one as we’re integrating new iOS 17 matters. Throughout this prerelease section, we’re additionally internet hosting a weekly Q&A reside stream. The first reside stream will probably be at present (Friday June sixteenth) at 18:00 GMT+1 (9am PST). You’ll be able to submit any questions you might have for us over at this Github repository.
Till now we now have up to date all of our books without cost ever since we began objc.io (over ten years in the past!). Since this replace of Pondering in SwiftUI just isn’t an incremental one, however an entire rewrite from the bottom up, we have determined to launch it as a brand new product – the prelease model is accessible now. Nevertheless, when you have beforehand purchased our e book and may’t afford the replace, or have purchased the e book very just lately, simply ship us an electronic mail and we’ll get you a free replace.
