Building iOS 17 Apps with Xcode Storyboards - Develop iOS 17 Apps with Xcode 15 and Swift

Neil Smyth

Summary

This book aims to teach the skills necessary to create iOS apps using the iOS 17 SDK, UIKit, Xcode 15 Storyboards, and the Swift programming language.

Beginning with the basics, this book outlines the steps necessary to set up an iOS development environment. Next, an introduction to the architecture of iOS 17 and programming in Swift is provided, followed by an in-depth look at the design of iOS apps and user interfaces. More advanced topics such as file handling, database management, graphics drawing, and animation are also covered, as are touch screen handling, gesture recognition, multitasking, location management, local notifications, camera access, and video playback support. Other features include Auto Layout, local map search, user interface animation using UIKit dynamics, iMessage app development, and biometric authentication.

Additional features of iOS development using Xcode are also covered, including Swift playgrounds, universal user interface design using size classes, app extensions, Interface Builder Live Views, embedded frameworks, collection and stack layouts, CloudKit data storage, and the document browser.

Other features of iOS 17 and Xcode 15 are also covered in detail, including iOS machine learning features.

The aim of this book, therefore, is to teach you the skills necessary to build your own apps for iOS 17. Assuming you are ready to download the iOS 17 SDK and Xcode 15, have a Mac, and some ideas for some apps to develop, you are ready to get started.

Where do you place in the Timeline of Stars? Does it matter? 
A story uncovered by a single star Bible verse led to more stars. Previously unknown within a ten-thousand-year span are planetary alignments or convergencies. What do the stars unlock? Turning points dated to authenticate history that were, until now, undetected.  
Only in our recent history has it been possible to explore the stars. And why should it matter? Does it make a difference for you? Perhaps! 
You can discover in much the same way as I did. Here, take my keys to the stars.

Beyond Measure - The Hidden...

James Vincent

A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
 
 
 
From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
 
 
 
Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.

Why Your Phone Knows You Better...

Felix Crane

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Discover how your smartphone has become the most intimate surveillance device in history, collecting data that reveals more about you than you know about yourself. This unsettling audiobook examines how mobile devices track every location, communication, search, purchase, and app interaction to construct psychological profiles of unprecedented accuracy. Learn why tech companies understand your habits, desires, vulnerabilities, and intentions better than people who have known you for years based solely on phone usage patterns. The narrator reveals specific data collection practices that transform innocent-seeming activities into psychological intelligence that predicts your behavior with disturbing accuracy. Discover how phone data reveals health conditions, financial status, relationship problems, and mental states you have shared with no one through patterns invisible to you but obvious to algorithms. Understand why you willingly carry the ultimate surveillance device everywhere, granting access to your life that no previous authoritarian regime could have imagined. This audiobook examines the business models that incentivize maximum data extraction, the psychological manipulation techniques that keep you engaged despite harm, and the impossibility of informed consent for data practices too complex for anyone to understand. Learn practical strategies for reducing phone surveillance and reclaiming privacy within the constraints of digital dependence. Essential listening for anyone carrying a smartphone who wants to understand what they are actually carrying.

Gateways to the Otherworld

Philip Gardiner

Is there an answer to the most profound question mankind has been asking itself for as long as there has been consciousness: is there life after death? 
 
We discover that a technique exists with which we can all travel and journey to "other realities" that exist within us. Through the science of quantum physics, Gardiner shows that ancient man was far more advanced than we previously believed. The author actually undergoes his own experiments to prove the point. 
 
Is there a universal frequency so perfect that it allows the mind to travel into other realms? Did our ancestors know of this special harmony? How does all this relate to the holographic universe and the concept of quantum entanglement? Does the Great Pyramid hold a real secret to the quantum realm? Are there ancient methods of healing that would benefit mankind? 
 
In an all-encompassing work, the author uses the science of the day in conjunction with the most ancient of teachings, bringing them into current-day reality. Based on the best-selling book of the same name. 
 
Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.

Expand - Stretching the Future...

Christian Bason, Jens Martin...

With Expand: Stretching the Future By Design, authors Jens Martin Skibsted, a multiple-award-winning designer, entrepreneur, and design philosopher, and Christian Bason, political scientist and CEO of the Danish Design Centre, take listeners beyond "design thinking" to challenge current habits and carve out new space for more sustainable innovation. 
 
 
 
From transforming the ways we do business and reimagining health care, to creating planet-restoring housing and humanizing our digital lives in an age of AI, Expand explores how expansive thinking across six key areas—time, proximity, value, life, dimensions, and sectors—can provide radical, useful solutions to a whole host of current problems around the globe. 
 
  
 
With powerful real-world examples, the book challenges our freewheeling belief in technological determinism and its insensitivity toward ethics, humanity, and the environment. 
 
 
 
Expand is the first book to not just critique design thinking, but welcome it as a starting point for an ambitious, wide-ranging tale of how to expand and think beyond it. 
 
 
 
The best way to predict the future is to design it. Expand is the book that shows us how.
