Programming Swift! Mac Apps 1

Programming Swift! Mac Apps 1 is all about getting started building Mac applications with Xcode.

The book covers visual programming with storyboards and interface builder. Youâ€™ll be working with latest version of Xcode and Swift, building modern Mac applications.

The book has 17 hands on chapters and several projects that you will build from the ground up. Youâ€™ll start building small, throw-away demo apps that focus on a new topic then youâ€™ll build a complete app that combines these topics and shows you how to put them together in a real application.

You will learn about:

App architecture and building blocks.
MVC.
Outlets, Actions.
Cocoa application storyboards, scenes and segues.
The assistant editor and manual code connections.

The user defaults class - saving application settings and adding a preferences pane.
