Learn iOS 8 App Development, 2/e (Paperback)
暫譯: 學習 iOS 8 應用程式開發（第二版）

Learn iOS 8 App Development is both a rapid tutorial and a useful reference. You'll quickly get up to speed with Swift (Apple's powerful new programming language), Cocoa Touch, and the iOS 8 SDK. It's an all-in-one getting started guide to building useful apps. You'll learn best practices that ensure your code will be efficient and perform well, earning positive reviews on the iTunes App Store, and driving better search results and more revenue.

The iOS 8 SDK offers powerful new features, and this book is the fastest path to mastering them--and the rest of the iOS SDK --for programmers with some experience who are new to iPhone and iPad app development. Many books introduce the iOS SDK, but few explain how to develop apps optimally and soundly. This book teaches both core Swift language concepts and how to exploit design patterns and logic with the iOS SDK, based on Swift and the Cocoa Touch framework.

Why spend months or years discovering the best ways to design and code iPhone and iPad apps when this book will show you how to do things the right way from the start?

• Get an accelerated introduction to the Swift programming language.
• Develop your first app using Xcode's advanced interface design tools.
• Learn Xcode workflows as you walk through the process of developing real iOS apps.
• Dive into the completed projects or develop your apps from scratch with step-by-step code.

Learn how to create apps for any model of iPhone, the iPod Touch, the iPad, or build universal apps that run on all of them. After reading this book, you'll be creating professional quality apps, ready to upload to the app store, making you the prestige and the money you seek!

What you'll learn
