This is a great book for someone who has grasped the basics of iOS Development and is looking to level up their understanding of concepts or tackle some of the newer and more complicated parts of iOS development. If you are just getting started you might gain some insight from this book but you would prob be better served revisiting this after youve churned out one or two basics apps.The book kicks off by addressing ios18 changes (like swift data or swift testing) and growing trends. I learned several things in this section even though I watch wwdc.If you could only read one chapter in this book I recommend you explore chapter 4. As someone who was pretty accustomed to using UIKit before SwiftUI I found that while I was able to push new view controllers just fine, I would still wonder if the methods I was using were the best available. This chapter goes into depth about Navigation and he introduces the Coordinator pattern which I plan on implementing in one of my next refactors.Some other notable chapters walk you through setting up pipelines, integrating Siri, and using Swift Testing.Overall I highly recommend this book for that developer who has the basics down and really wants to get into next steps in their learning process.
