iOS 17 App Development Essentials - Developing iOS 17 Apps with Xcode 15 Swift and SwiftUI

Neil Smyth

Sinopse

This book will teach you how to build iOS 17 applications using SwiftUI, Xcode 15, and the Swift programming language.

Beginning with the basics, this book outlines the steps to set up an iOS development environment, together with an introduction to using Swift Playgrounds to learn and experiment with Swift.

The book also includes in-depth chapters introducing the Swift programming language, including data types, control flow, functions, object-oriented programming, property wrappers, structured concurrency, and error handling.

A guided tour of Xcode in SwiftUI development mode follows an introduction to the key concepts of SwiftUI and project architecture. The book also covers creating custom SwiftUI views and explains how these views are combined to create user interface layouts, including stacks, frames, and forms.

Other topics covered include data handling using state properties and observable, state, and environment objects, as are key user interface design concepts such as modifiers, lists, tabbed views, context menus, user interface navigation, and outline groups.

The book also includes chapters covering graphics and chart drawing, user interface animation, view transitions and gesture handling, WidgetKit, Live Activities, document-based apps, Core Data, SwiftData, and CloudKit.

Chapters also explain how to integrate SwiftUI views into existing UIKit-based projects and integrate UIKit code into SwiftUI.

Finally, the book explains how to package up a completed app and upload it to the App Store for publication.

Along the way, the topics covered in the book are put into practice through detailed tutorials, the source code for which is also available for download.

The aim of this book, therefore, is to teach you the skills to build your own apps for iOS 17 using SwiftUI.

Understanding Artificial...

Craig Dames

Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, is one of the most transformative technologies of our time. It refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, learning, decision-making, understanding natural language, and even visual perception. While AI may seem like a recent innovation, its foundations were laid decades ago, and it has evolved through years of research, experimentation, and technological advancement.
The concept of AI dates back to the 1950s, when computer scientists such as Alan Turing and John McCarthy began exploring whether machines could simulate human intelligence. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was first coined in 1956 during the Dartmouth Conference, which is now recognized as the birthplace of AI as a field of study. Early AI systems were rule-based and could only perform specific tasks under limited conditions. However, as computing power increased and data became more accessible, AI models grew more sophisticated and capable.
Today, AI is not just a theoretical concept or something confined to laboratories. It is embedded in our daily lives in subtle and sometimes invisible ways. From voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to recommendation algorithms on streaming platforms and online shopping sites, AI is shaping how we interact with technology. Navigation apps use AI to suggest optimal routes, email services use it to filter spam, and social media platforms rely on AI to personalize content.

Code Work - Hacking across the...

Héctor Beltrán

How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences 
 
 
 
In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. 
 
 
 
Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.

String Theory - Exploring the...

Mark Hedges

String theory is one of the most profound and ambitious areas of modern physics, proposing that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are not point particles, as traditionally believed, but rather tiny, vibrating strings. These strings, though incredibly small, can exist in multiple forms, each corresponding to a different type of particle. String theory has the potential to unify the four known fundamental forces of nature—gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force—into a single, coherent framework. This vision of a unified theory of everything is one of the most exciting prospects in theoretical physics.
The roots of string theory date back to the late 1960s, when theoretical physicists began exploring the idea that the strong nuclear force, which binds quarks together in protons and neutrons, might be mediated by a one-dimensional object, a string, rather than a point-like particle. Initially, this idea was pursued primarily as a means of explaining certain aspects of quantum mechanics and particle interactions. However, as the theory evolved, it began to offer potential solutions to some of the most vexing problems in physics, including the unification of forces and the nature of gravity.
One of the key features of string theory is the concept of extra dimensions. In classical physics, we live in a universe of three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. However, string theory suggests that the universe may have many more dimensions, hidden from our everyday perception. These extra dimensions are compactified, meaning they are curled up so small that they are effectively invisible at macroscopic scales. The number of extra dimensions in string theory varies depending on the specific version of the theory, but the most popular form, known as superstring theory, suggests the existence of ten dimensions.

Climate Action for Busy People

Cate Mingoya-LaFortune

As unprecedented heat waves, storms of the century, and devastating fires impact cities across the country, the time to create climate resilient communities is now. While large-scale innovations in policy and technology are necessary to preserve the planet, the wisest and most lasting adaptation solutions originate at the local level. However, with something as large as the climate crisis, it can be hard to know where to begin. 
 
 
 
Climate Action for Busy People is a hopeful and realistic roadmap for individuals and groups who want to boost climate preparedness and move the needle towards environmental justice. Drawing from her professional and personal success in climate adaptation and community organizing, Cate Mingoya-LaFortune begins with a brief history of why our communities look the way they do and how that affects how vulnerable we are to climate risks. Each chapter will help listeners scale up their actions, from identifying climate solutions that an individual or small group can pull off in a handful of weekends to advocating for change at the municipal level. It's not too late for people of all ages and skill levels to create climate safe neighborhoods. 
 
 
 
Climate Action for Busy People is an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to make lasting and equitable improvements that will make their communities climate resilient.
