iOS 18 App Development Essentials - Developing iOS Apps with SwiftUI Swift and Xcode 16

Neil Smyth

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.

DIED WITHOUT WARNING - A...

Terrance McDuffie

Died Without Warning is a powerful memoir of survival, faith, and purpose after a life-altering medical crisis. 
When retired U.S. Army veteran SFC Terrance McDuffie suffers a sudden Widowmaker heart attack during a routine workout, his life changes in an instant. With no warning and no time to prepare, his heart stops — forcing him to confront mortality and the hidden toll years of service, stress, and responsibility can take on the body and mind. 
Against overwhelming odds, Terrance survives a medical event that most people never return from. But survival is only the beginning. 
In this deeply personal story, he takes listeners through the moment everything stopped, the long and uncertain road to recovery, and the spiritual awakening that followed. Along the way, he reflects on resilience, identity, faith, and the meaning of a second chance at life. 
Honest, raw, and deeply inspiring, Died Without Warning offers hope to veterans, survivors, caregivers, and anyone facing an unexpected life-altering event. 
It is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, purpose can still be found — and every sunrise is a second chance.

River Without a Cause - An...

Sam Moses

A riveting journey down Theodore Roosevelt's "river of doubt" with a diverse crew of adventurers, scientists, and Indigenous leaders who shine light on the past, present, and future of a natural wonder.Sam Moses took part in the adventure of a lifetime when he, along with seventeen men and two women, embarked on the Rio Roosevelt Expedition. They would follow the former president's wake down five-hundred miles of extreme whitewater into the dark heart of the Amazon. The party was guided by two chiefs from the Cinta Larga tribe—the same tribe that stalked Roosevelt's expedition in 1914—who, between rapids, tell the story of the tribe's own Trail of Tears.After the wildest whitewater is past, Moses travels with the chiefs to their village to witness the massive illegal mahogany logging from their forest, the Roosevelt Indigenous Territory. River Without a Cause puts us in the raft during those heart pounding rapid descents, as we experience the drama, dynamics, and disputes between the Bull Moose and his coleader, Brazil's most famous explorer, the rigid Colonel Candido Rondon. As the Amazon stands on the precipice of hope with the election of a new Brazilian president, River Without a Cause is a moving and galvanizing tale of adventure that is a fitting tribute to this world wonder.

Relativity - Time Space and...

Orhan Schöwe

Relativity – Time, Space, and Being 
(Physics Explained Simply | Volume 2) 
What remains of reality 
when time no longer flows equally for everyone 
and space is no longer a fixed background? 
In this audiobook, Orhan Schöwe invites you on a calm, narrative journey through Einstein’s theory of relativity — not as an abstract concept, but as an experience. Step by step, he reveals how motion, light, and gravity reshape our perception of the world — and what this means for our own lives. 
Here, relativity is more than physics. 
It is an invitation to rethink perspective: 
Time as relationship, 
space as structure, 
being as a path. 
Without formulas, but with clarity and depth, this audiobook combines scientific precision with a poetic language that leaves room for reflection, wonder, and quiet attention. 
An audiobook by Orhan Schöwe 
For everyone who wants not only to understand physics, 
but to feel how it transforms the way we think.
