A note from the Authors

Have you ever heard someone say, “I wish there was an app for that?” Maybe they were talking about a holiday card organizer or an app that can turn someone into a kitten. Well, you can be the person who makes that app! In this book, you’ll learn how to program in Swift, the language used for mobile applications that run on all Apple devices, and by the time you’ve finished reading, you’ll have developed apps you can run on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Learning a programming language will give you skills in problem solving, communication, and creativity. For these reasons, and many more, programming is a highly useful skill to have. Even if you don’t intend to become a professional programmer, if you regularly use a computer or a mobile device, then learning to program can improve your life.

Programming is fun for so many reasons—you get to solve puzzles, impress people with your code creations, and feel pretty powerful once you know how to control a machine. So, above all, don’t forget to have fun!
