Beginning iOS 10 Programming
with Swift
Learn how to code in Swift and build a real world app from scratch
Now fully updated for Xcode 8, Swift 3 and iOS 10
You've got an app idea? Why not learn to build it yourself?
If you want to create an app but don't know where to begin, this book covers the whole aspect of Swift programming and iOS 10 development and shows you every step from an idea to a real app on App Store. Most programming books start by teaching the fundamental programming concepts. At AppCoda, we believe programming should be fun to learn. Instead of just elaborating the theories, you'll learn 'by doing' right from the beginning. This practical learning approach has gained positive feedback from tens of thousands of our blog readers.
This book features a lot of hands-on exercises and projects. It assumes you have little or even no prior programming experience. You will first create a simple app, then prototype an app idea, and later add some features to it in each chapter, until a real app is built. During the process, you will master Swift 3 programming and iOS 10 app development. Most importantly, you will build a multilingual app after going through the book.
What You Will Learn
We will build a food app from scratch. Starting by creating an app prototype, we will add one or more features to the app in each chapter and you will have an app after working through the book. During the course of the app development, you will learn:
- Learn Swift 3 Basics Using Playgrounds
- Design Adaptive UI using Stack Views in Xcode 8
- Auto layout and Size Classes
- Table views, Tab Bar and Navigation Controllers
- Table Cell Customization and Self Sizing Cells

"I probably could have done it without the book but it would've taken way longer, and I probably wouldn't have understood what I was doing so well. If it weren't for this book my app probably won't be in the App Store right now. True story. Keep it up!"
- Marc Estwick, Creator of HooRU

"As a high school AP computer science teacher I work mainly with Java but I also teach several other programming languages so I tend to keep a large library of books on-hand. While many of the other books and online video tutorials I purchased these past years were very good, I found AppCoda's to be far above all others. Simon has a way of presenting a topic in such a manner where I felt he was teaching me in a classroom environment rather than just me reading words on a screen. "
- Ricky Martin, Gulf Coast High School
