For every iOS 8 programming feature covered, the book explains the concepts clearly, based on a single, end-to-end sample - NoteApp. It helps a reader establish a solid foundation within a matter of weeks in multiple areas, such as Swift, the Foundation framework, iOS app design patterns, user interface design and implementation, and data persistence with the Archiving and Core Data frameworks. The subjects covered in this book are logically organized as follows: * Chapter 1 Introducing iOS 8 * Chapter 2 Setting up an Xcode IDE on Mac OS X * Chapter 3 The Anatomy of a Simple iOS program * Chapter 4 Introducing Swift * Chapter 5 Creating the NoteApp * Chapter 6 Designing an App * Chapter 7 Implementing NoteApp * Chapter 8 Data Persistence with Archiving * Chapter 9 Data Persistence with Core Data * Chapter 10 Implementing NoteApp for iPad and iPhone Devices * Appendix A Getting around on Mac OS X * Appendix B More Advanced Swift Features * Appendix C The TapTest Project * Appendix D Submitting Your Apps to the App Store In essence, this text helps you acquire a verifiable set of useful iOS 8 programming skills effectively and efficiently.
