Synopsis

I have been trying to learn code for that past couple weeks with Apples Swift Guide and YouTube videos but was learning slow as I would get confused. Last night I got the demo of this book and read the first 50 pages. I felt that I learned so much in those 50 pages in one night than I have for the last couple weeks. He does a really good job at explaining things to someone that knows nothing or where to begin - iBook Reviews

I'm an experienced programmer, primarily in scripting languages and am new to iOS. This is my first book of McNeish's but it won't be my last. His way of laying out the context along with the syntax and progressing through the language systematically allows you to digest the information without being overloaded. - RickW
