Asynchronous Programming with SwiftUI and Combine: Functional Programming to Build UIs on Apple Platforms

Develop UI-heavy applications more easily, faster, and error-free. Based on several enhancements to the Swift language, SwiftUI takes a declarative approach to building UIs. Instead of imperatively coding the UI, this book will show you how to describe how you want your UI to look.

Using SwiftUI and Combine build moreerror-free apps in a shorter amount of time, targeting all of Apple’s platforms (iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, tvOS) with little to no overhead.

By the end of the book you will have a solid understanding for architecting and implementing UI-heavy apps in a declarative and functional reactive way using SwiftUI, Combine, and async/await.

You will:

-       Build simple and gradually more complex UIs in SwiftUI

-       Understand SwiftUI’s state management system

-       Work with Combine and Swift’s new async/await APIs to access the network and access other asynchronous APIs

-       Architect and structure modern applications on Apple platforms using SwiftUI, Combine, and async/await
