Swift iOS 24-Hour Trainer, Abhishek Mishra

By that, I mean that this book serves as an excellent introduction to the Swift language, providing context, timeline and system requirements, both developer and run-time. In terms of prerequisites, the book assumes that one has access to Apple's Xcode integrated development environment, which is key for the effective development and testing of applications targeting the iOS platform. Whilst one could follow most of the lessons, and tutorials, using an alternative IDE, such as IBM's Swift declaration, I work for IBM or even the Swift command-line, many of the lessons do really require one to use Xcode, which is available from Apple assuming that one has a Mac computer.

That being said, it's typically safe to assume that, if one is developing for the Apple ecosystem, one would have access to a Mac, Xcode etc. Anyway, back to the book; as the title suggests, this is aimed as a trainer and, as such, is intended to provide a taster to the language, with the lessons increasing in scope and relative complexity.

By the end of the book, one should be familiar with the full gamut of iOS app development, including getting interactive with on-device features such as mapping, camera, multi-touch and gestures. Therefore, one could jump straight into specific areas of interest, rather than absolutely needing to read the book from start to finish.

That being said, I would suggest that, if one is unfamiliar with Swift or the basics of iOS app development, that a cover-to-cover read is the way to go.

To summarise, this is an excellent introduction to the Swift programming language, in the specific context of iOS app development, and would serve as an effective on-ramp to anyone wishing to start their journey in app development, within the Apple ecosystem. Apart from hands-on coding, the book also provides a good insight into the prerequisites of successful app development, including design, user-interface modelling e.

In terms of a ranking, I'd give this book 10 out of 10, simply because it met my expectations, and provided both context and a deep-dive into Swift and iOS app development.

My nascent skills in writing was first recognized when I had a poem on Shillong — The Scotland of the east published in one of the daily newspapers The Shillong Times ; the interest only grew stronger hence and my will more concrete as I developed this unique interest in writing. I have written a few poems, though unpublished, yet once in appropriate numbers could translate into another novel project.

The greatest inspiration towards fame has been my mother, who has dunked pretty much everything to ensure good education to my siblings and I. Writing my first novel has indeed been an arduous task, as often I would find myself stationary on my desk wondering what the next words might be.

After an 18 month of constant effort, have I been able to forsee this dream of becoming an author come true. I am an avid writer and love to craft emotions and existent entities into words. In my opinion, words are the most powerful medium and undeniably the best form to communicate emotions, feelings, aspirations, desires and achievement.

I hope, in context of my first novel, one should find interest and generate the liking to my writings. Books by Abhishek Mishra. It's the time of year for soups, sautees, and stories!
