Over the last months, we’ve got labored exhausting at updating our guide Pondering in SwiftUI. Over the previous years, we had the prospect to conduct SwiftUI workshops for a lot of firms. Primarily based on this expertise and the suggestions we received, our method to explaining SwiftUI has advanced lots. Due to this fact, we selected to do a full rewrite of the guide to be on par with our workshops.
The final construction nonetheless is similar to the earlier version, however the content material is model new. We put a number of emphasis on explaining view bushes (which the truth is would be the first chapter of the guide) on this new version, in addition to how view bushes are interpreted when it comes to state, structure, animations, and extra. The guide contains lots of recent diagrams to visualise these ideas.
After WWDC, we have been a bit torn about what to do. Ought to we put out a guide with out mentioning all the brand new issues? This is able to be bizarre for those that can goal iOS 17 / macOS 14. But rewriting the whole guide for iOS 17 solely can be not an choice, as many people nonetheless should assist older platforms. As a substitute, we selected to amend the present chapters with callout bins, mentioning related adjustments. As well as, we’ll have a separate iOS 17 chapter in the interim. For the ultimate launch of the guide (as soon as the brand new stuff is out of beta) we’ll attempt to combine the contents of that chapter into the remainder of the guide.
As a result of this transition part, we have determined to launch the brand new version as a beta model. We plan to place out the chapters one-by-one as we’re integrating new iOS 17 subjects. Throughout this prerelease part, we’re additionally internet hosting a weekly Q&A reside stream. The first reside stream shall be right now (Friday June sixteenth) at 18:00 GMT+1 (9am PST). You may submit any questions you will have for us over at this Github repository.
Till now we’ve got up to date all of our books at no cost ever since we began objc.io (over ten years in the past!). Since this replace of Pondering in SwiftUI is just not an incremental one, however a whole rewrite from the bottom up, we have determined to launch it as a brand new product – the prelease model is accessible now.
