Hands-On Projects For Swift & SwiftUI: A Practical Guide to Building User Interfaces, Data Flows, and Functional iOS Apps (Swift & SwiftUI Learning Series Book 2)

Build real iOS apps with SwiftUI confidently, correctly, and with skills that actually scale.

This book is a practical, end-to-end guide to modern SwiftUI app development , designed for readers who want more than tutorials that stop at “Hello, World.” Whether you’re new to iOS development or transitioning from UIKit, this book walks you through the complete journey of building production-ready iOS apps using Swift, SwiftUI, async/await, and Apple’s modern app architecture .

Instead of isolated examples, you’ll work through thoughtfully designed projects habit trackers, weather apps, recipe browsers, fitness dashboards, and finance tools that reflect real-world app requirements . Each chapter builds naturally on the last, reinforcing concepts while steadily expanding your capabilities. You learn not just how SwiftUI works, but why it works the way it does, helping you think like a professional iOS developer.

This book focuses on:

SwiftUI fundamentals and intermediate concepts

Networking, REST APIs, and JSON parsing

Concurrency with async/await

Animations, transitions, and polished UI interactions

State management, data persistence, and performance optimization

Accessibility, localization, testing, and real-world best practices

Preparing and publishing apps for the App Store

Every explanation is concise, practical, and grounded in current Apple tooling. Code examples are complete, executable, and aligned with modern Swift and SwiftUI standards no deprecated APIs, no guesswork.

Why This Book Is Different Many SwiftUI books teach features in isolation. This one teaches application thinking . You learn how pieces fit together across screens, features, and projects, preparing you for real development work not just demos. The progression is intentional, respectful of your time, and designed to make steady progress feel achievable.

You won’t find filler, generic explanations, or unnecessary theory. Every chapter exists to move you forward.

Who This Book Is For Beginners learning SwiftUI for the first time

Developers migrating from UIKit to SwiftUI

Students and self-taught programmers building a portfolio

Professionals who want a structured, modern SwiftUI reference

About the Author The author is a hands-on Swift and SwiftUI practitioner with a strong focus on clarity, correctness, and real-world application design. Drawing from practical development experience, the author emphasizes clean architecture, modern Apple frameworks, and teaching concepts in a way that respects both beginners and working developers. This book reflects a deep understanding of how iOS apps are actually built, maintained, and shipped today.
