Summary

This book aims to teach the skills necessary to build iOS 18 applications using SwiftUI, Xcode 16, 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, and over 50 online knowledge test quizzes.
 
The aim of this book, therefore, is to teach you the skills to build your own apps for iOS 18 using SwiftUI. Assuming you are ready to download the iOS 18 SDK and Xcode 16 and have an Apple Mac system, you are ready to get started.

    Time is a fascinating subject and one which affects our lives in many ways.  
This book covers a lot of aspects of the subject. 
First, how did measurements of time like seconds, minutes, hours, and years develop? 
Next, what is the history of timekeeping mechanisms from ancient water clocks, to mechanical mechanisms, atomic clocks, and much more. 
Lastly, what are some of the stranger aspects or anomalies of time such as premonitions, how time and space work, and possible time travel stories. 
And philosophical questions like: Does the future already exist? 
I wanted this book to be a comprehensive volume on time and so included lots of different stories and understandings about time which indicate we may not fully understand it yet.

    This audiobook is an altered version of the Master’s thesis Lean Production Scale-up. How a startup can scale the manufacturing of physical product innovation by Ilkka Taponen. Approximately half of the original thesis has been removed to suit the audiobook format. The audiobook edit has been designed for an audience familiar with startups and business, meaning that large portions of the basics have been removed from the Theory chapter.Today the market entry for new ideas and entrepreneurs is easier than ever as the digital age is reshaping how business is done. Through digitalization, the business environment has become highly open and widely connected. The combinations of digital technologies like edge computing and artificial intelligence, AI, enable new business model opportunities. In this fast-changing environment, the most important thing is to learn as fast as possible what to do next and what is worth doing at all. Multiple non-fiction books like The Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank and Lean Startup by Eric Ries study the modern internet-era startup business environment.Still, one aspect has not been included in the broader public discussion. The tools presented in Lean Startup concentrate on finding the market fit as efficiently as possible but assume that the same level of uncertainties does not exist in the company's internal processes. “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters” is a famous quote by startup investor Peter Thiel. Behind the quote is the notion that there is something different and more challenging about developing physical technologies compared to online services. Manufacturing, indeed, is an underrated problem. It is much harder to take advanced technology and bring it to volume manufacturing than to design it in the first place.
