SwiftUI is radically different from UIKit. So in this short book, we will help you build a mental model of how SwiftUI works. We explain the most important concepts in detail, and we follow them up with exercises to give you hands-on experience.SwiftUI is still a young framework, and as such, we don't believe it's appropriate to write a complete reference. Instead, this book focuses on transitioning your way of thinking from the object-oriented style of UIKit to the declarative style of SwiftUI.Thinking in SwiftUI is geared toward readers who are familiar with Swift and who have experience building apps in frameworks like UIKit.

The goal of this book is to teach the skills necessary to build iOS 13 applications using SwiftUI, Xcode 11 and the Swift 5 programming language. Beginning with the basics, this book provides an outline of the steps necessary to set up an iOS development environment together with an introduction to the use of Swift Playgrounds to learn and experiment with Swift. The book also includes in depth chapters introducing the Swift 5 programming language including data types, control flow, functions, object-oriented programming, property wrappers and error handling. An introduction to the key concepts of SwiftUI and project architecture is followed by a guided tour of Xcode in SwiftUI development mode. The book also covers the creation of custom SwiftUI views and explains how these views are combined to create user interface layouts including the use of stacks, frames and forms. Other topics covered include data handling using state properties and both observable and environment objects, as are key user interface design concepts such as modifiers, lists, tabbed views, context menus and user interface navigation. The book also includes chapters covering graphics drawing, user interface animation, view transitions and gesture handling. Chapters are also provided explaining how to integrate SwiftUI views into existing UIKit-based projects and explains the integration of 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. The aim of this book, therefore, is to teach you the skills necessary to build your own apps for iOS 13 using SwiftUI. Assuming you are ready to download the iOS 13 SDK and Xcode 11 and have an Intel-based Mac you are ready to get started.
