Review: Best xcode book yet - Best xcode book yet, and I've bought a ton of them......Takes you step by step through the entire xcode interface, explaining the various menus and what they do. Each step follows a logical sequence...it waits to explain them until you need them so that explanations are explained in the context of building real apps. AND....the writer has a talent for explaining things in an understandable manner, e.g., he doesn't bring in extraneous subjects or irrelevant comments that tend to confuse the issue and that take away from the point he is trying to make. Reminds of the old TV program..."The facts and nothing but the facts maam" The example apps are built step by step and are wonderful examples to learn by. Even early on he discusses "Voice Over" and Internationalization which I seem to have missed in other books. In my estimation this is a truly wonderful xcode learning book.
Review: That baffled me for a good 30 minutes and could easily kill someone's experience - If you're new to software development, you may find it challenging. Being an experienced developer, it was helpful that this book skipped all the intro development stuff. Some books go way too far in to concepts on Computer Science. Some of the examples failed to work properly on the first go-round, but it turned out to be my fault. For example, in the Tip Calculator app, if you don't align the labels and text fields perfectly, the auto constraints tool may fail to set the constraints and everything populates off the screen. That baffled me for a good 30 minutes and could easily kill someone's experience. It would be nice if there were tips/warnings for these little intricacies. Another annoyance, the code samples in the book had incorrect references to figures. And some of the code sample references omitted code that was pre-populated by Xcode. I couldn't tell if these methods were supposed to be deleted or kept. While I understand this book is teaching the basic concepts of iOS development, the majority of apps today communicate with a web service API. Yet there's really only one application that communicates with the internet through a WebView. I'm not sure why this app used a WebView. It would have been better to integrate with the API and produce tweet results in a table. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this book. It's a great intro to programming an iOS app using Swift. I wouldn't recommend it for beginner developers or for developers looking to learn how to program in Swift. If you're an experienced developer, go learn the basics of Swift using online resources, then tackle this book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ an excellent introductory text.
*by S***N on February 6, 2015*

Paul Deitel has been doing this for longer than is perhaps good for a person, but he is also very good at it. i trust Paul -- his intelligence and his insights into the development process, and understanding how to teach complex abstractions in a very concrete way. i couldn't recommend this book any higher.
