Book of the Month (202207): The Definitive Guide to Swift Programming

This month I am reading the second edition of "The Definitive Guide to Swift Programming", and I am reading the translated version, hoping to master the Swift language through this book.I chose this book among the many books that introduce the swift language because I felt good when I read the book "The Definitive Guide to Android Programming" before. I think the two books are from the same institution, and the quality of the books is not bad.

Book Overview

The book is nearly 400 pages long, with a comprehensive introduction to the knowledge of the swfit language, and a project example at the end.

The style of this book is to introduce grammar knowledge through this example, and continuously improve the example to introduce new knowledge.This is in the same style as the Definitive Guide to Android Programming that I have seen before, because both books are exported by an institution.I agree with this style of writing; introducing knowledge through specific examples, I call it scenario-based teaching, this method allows people with programming experience to quickly grasp new knowledge only through specific examples.However, the example also has some flaws: the use of
American living habits increases the difficulty of understanding for us Chinese.

Summary of content

Finally, a brief summary of the swift language: it was introduced by Apple in 2014, and it has been improved and updated all the time.Compared with OC, they are almost different, from the definition of variables to the definition of classes, the two languages ​​are not comparable.I feel that swift is more like a language of the new era, with a syntax style similar to the modern popular python, kotlin, etc., and its functions are very powerful.In any case, it is still inseparable from the most basic syntaxes of variables, classes, protocols (interfaces) and generics. The structure is still the commonly used structures such as sequence, loop, and condition, and the object-oriented idea contained in it has not changed..Therefore, on the basis of this knowledge, combined with the examples in this book, you can quickly get started with the swfit language, and then master the details of various languages ​​in actual projects, and then fully master the swift language.

I will do these sharings about the book. Welcome to exchange and discuss in the comment area.In addition, I will share the knowledge of the swift language in other columns and share more detailed content with you.
