Swift in 24 Hours, Sams Teach Yourself, by BJ Miller

About the Author BJ Miller is an iOS developer for DXY Solutions, a mobile, web, and design consultancy in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. BJ earned his B.S. in Computer Science from Baldwin-Wallace College (now called Baldwin-Wallace University) in Berea, Ohio, the town where he grew up. His latest career path encompassed large-scale enterprise network administration, SQL database administration, and Microsoft SharePoint Server and Microsoft Project Server administration and integration as a contractor for the United States Department of Defense, with all the Microsoft certifications that come along with that. Before that, he spent several years in LAN engineering, designing and implementing network infrastructure, as a Cisco Certified Network Associate. BJ began iOS development in 2009 after not having programmed for a few years, and he developed a passion for the platform and the Objective-C language. Now, his love has expanded to include Swift, and there is still yet room in his heart for more. In 2013, he released his first app into the iOS App Store, called MyPrayerMap, as a simple tool for managing prayer requests. When he is not writing in Objective-C or Swift for either work or this book, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two boys, reading, listening to music or podcasts, and playing The Legend of Zelda (any game on any system will do). He also co-organizes the Cleveland CocoaHeads Meetup with Daniel Steinberg, http://www.meetup.com/Cleveland- CocoaHeads/, and organizes a submeetup of that group called Paired Programming Fun, which is a casual meetup where the focus is on Test-Driven Development (TDD) in Swift in paired-programming style. BJ often presents iOS-related topics at CocoaHeads and also speaks at other conferences such as MacTech, CocoaConf (Columbus, Ohio), and CodeMash v2.0.1.5. He also blogs from time to time at http://bjmiller.me and is on Twitter as @bjmillerltd.

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Provides excellent foundation By Morisei This is an excellent book. If you work through all the examples, you will get a solid understanding of Swift. Because of the way Apple has set up the Swift playgrounds, you can type in all the examples as you read, and watch the execution results. This is an ideal way to learn programming. This book focuses almost exclusively on Swift (as opposed to trying to explain both Swift and iOS programming), and does a great job with what it focuses on. I can definitely recommend it as an introduction to Swift.However, don't expect to be able to program an Apple app just by reading this book. After you understand Swift, you will still need to understand how to use Apple's Xcode and the Apple frameworks (libraries) to make Apple apps. (I just read the first Amazon review of this book and that person was clearly expecting to be able to write iOS applications after reading a book on Swift. No, you can't.) After you finish this book, you will then need to read at least one and probably quite a few other books that explain how to use Swift for iOS programming with Xcode.You might think that one book combining both Swift and X code/iOS would be better than two books. But both these topics require specialized information. To give you an idea of how much work is required, the earlier edition of this book (SAMS Swift) was 423 pages, and the earlier (now out of date) edition of SAMS IOS Programming book was over 900 pages! Trying to combine both into one book simply ends up in insufficient explanations on both topics and confuses users. Trying to kill 2 very different birds with one stone, usually ends up with no bird at all. (Believe me, as a struggling beginner, I've read some of these books that try to explain everything in 200 pages. They don't work.)The missing star is for the same reason as in my review of the earlier edition: the Kindle edition is more expensive that the paper edition, which is absolutely absurd given the relative production and delivery costs. I object to being price-gouged for ebooks.

1 of 6 people found the following review helpful. It is easy to get lost on almost every chapter in this ... By Amazon Customer I am not impressed. I have programming experience and this book is hard to follow. If you have never programmed before, you will struggle with this book. The Swift Language is primarily used for IOS Programming. The Author only focuses on using the Playground in XCode. So if you can get through this book, you will not learn how to connect any of the storyboard object to your code. It is easy to get lost on almost every chapter in this book.
