Unleash the power of SwiftUI by building dynamic, cross-platform projects that will amaze their usersPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Key FeaturesExplore the basics of declarative programming and animationUnderstand the fundamentals of SwiftUI and animatable propertiesLearn while working on beginner-to-advanced level animation projectsBook Description Swift and SwiftUI are the backbone of Apple application development, making them a crucial skill set to learn. Animating SwiftUI Applications focuses on the creation of stunning animations, making you proficient in this declarative language and employing a minimal code approach. In this book, you'll start by exploring the fundamentals of SwiftUI and animation, before jumping into various projects that will cement these skills in practice. You will explore some simple projects, like animating circles, creating color spectrums with hueRotation, animating individual parts of an image, as well as combining multiple views together to produce dynamic creations. The book will then transition into more advanced animation projects that employ the GeometryReader, which helps align your animations across different devices, as well as creating word and color games. Finally, you will learn how to integrate the SpriteKit framework into our SwiftUI code to create scenes with wind, fire, rain, and or snow scene, along with adding physics, gravity, collisions, and particle emitters to your animations. By the end of this book, you'll have created a number of different animation projects, and will have gained a deep understanding of SwiftUI that can be used for your own creations. What you will learnUnderstand the fundamentals of SwiftUI and declarative programmingMaster animation concepts like state variables and time curvesExplore animation properties like hueRotation, opacity, and scaleCreate animations using physics, gravity, collision, and moreUse the GeometryReader to align views across various platformsCombine different animations for more dynamic effectsAdd audio to your animations for an interactive experienceWho this book is for This book is for aspiring SwiftUI developers who have a basic understanding of Swift.

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.
