Specially designed for the latest iOS version, iOS 18.
This time, I want to review an e-book about iOS programming.
A while ago, I read an e-book recommended by someone on LinkedIn, titled “iOS 18 Programming for Beginners.”
I started reading it, even though I used speed-reading techniques and focused only on the key points, as 90% of the content in this book is something I’ve already learned over the years as an iOS developer.
I conclude that this book is quite good for anyone who wants to become a developer, especially an iOS developer.
The e-book itself consists of exactly 558 pages (560 in my case because there are 2 blank pages), including the table of contents and the foreword.
Ahmad Sahar himself has already published several e-books, one of which I found an edition of iOS 14 Programming for Beginners .
Although AI is now available and you can ask it anything or learn whatever you want, I believe you still need to learn the fundamentals first.
I’ve also posted about this on my LinkedIn, sharing my thoughts on this e-book — it’s quite interesting.
From this e-book, I feel there are a few things that need to be added, one of which is debugging. The e-book explains too little about debugging, which I believe is one of the most important aspects.
An iOS developer must know how to find solutions to errors or issues in an app. That’s why they need to understand various debugging techniques. By identifying the root cause of a problem in the app code you are developing, it will be much easier to find a solution.
While you can use AI to help find solutions for bugs, if you don’t understand the problem, even AI will struggle to resolve the issue.
That being said, I have already provided this feedback to their team. Hopefully, in the latest edition this year or next year, this topic will be added.
Oh, and from this e-book, I learned a few new things. One of them is how to call components in SwiftUI.
for Beginners
In this e-book, you will be taught everything up to submitting your app to the App Store. In my opinion, this e-book is highly recommended for beginners.
Well, that’s all for my review of this e-book. If you’re interested in this book, you can find it on Amazon or O’Reilly. Since I’m not getting paid, I won’t include the link. 🤣
Thank you for reading! If you enjoyed it, please consider clapping 👏 and following for more updates! 🚀
