Upcoming Books

We’re working on a host of new books to be released in full between late 2020 and early 2021:

  • Flutter Apprentice: Android developers and iOS developers alike are taking to Flutter, Google’s UI toolkit that will help you create attractive, natively compiled apps for multiple platforms using a single codebase. This book will take you through everything you need to know to get started!
  • Dart Apprentice: Begin object-oriented programming in the Dart language and learn language-based fundamentals like expressions, functions, variables, classes, asynchronous programming and more!
  • Advanced Swift: So you know Swift fundamentals – now what? Deepen your knowledge as an advanced developer with concepts such as semantics, protocols, algorithms, strings, custom sequences, reactive programming and more!
  • Jetpack Compose: Let us guide you through Android’s suite of libraries to help you follow all the best practices, including working with your UI, building lists, creating custom composables, managing state, animating properties and more!
  • Android Accessibility: Our author, Victoria Gonda, said it best: Any responsible app today is thinking about accessibility. This book will teach you to get your Android app in the hands of more users by implementing critical accessibility features.
  • App Design Apprentice: In this beginner-level book for non-designers, we’ll guide you through designing modern mobile-app UI and UX using fundamental design principles. This book is currently available for pre-order.
  • Dagger by Tutorials: Take a deep dive into dependency injection on Android with Dagger and Hilt, including design principles, injection, modules, components and more!
  • Publishing to the App Store: You’ve finished building your iOS or iPadOS app — now what? Learn about entitlements, release configurations, troubleshooting code signing, and leveraging internal and TestFlight distribution of your app to your testing teams. This book will take you through all the fundamentals, as well as managing your app after it is published.
  • Android App Distribution: Your Android app is done, but what else do you need to take care of besides uploading it to the Play Store? This book covers internal and external distribution, managing testing, best practices for security and permissions, optimizing app size and obfuscating your APK, automation tools and more.
  • Real-World Android by Tutorials: Level up your professional development skills in Android by building a real-world app from top to bottom, including animations, UI lifecycles, dynamic features, and security.
  • SwiftUI Apprentice: New to iOS app development, and want to build your UI the modern way using SwiftUI? This book will guide you in building your iOS apps from the ground up, Apple’s solution to making fluid and engaging declarative UI for your apps.
  • Apple Augmented Reality By Tutorials: This book is the easiest and fastest way to get hands-on experience using Apple frameworks and technologies like Reality Composer, RealityKit, and ARKit — all the available rendering technologies Apple has to offer, as well as a collection of fun projects for creating various real-world AR experiences. After reading this book, you’ll have a deep understanding of the technologies and frameworks used to create powerful, immersive AR experiences for the Apple platform.

Recently Released Books

We’ve just updated the following books in the past month:

  • UIKit Apprentice (formerly iOS Apprentice): For complete beginners! If you’re completely new to Swift and iOS development (or need a brush-up), this is the series for you. The iOS Apprentice is a series of epic-length tutorials for beginners where you’ll learn how to build four complete apps from scratch. Each new app will be a little more advanced than the one before, and together they cover everything you need to know to make your own apps. By the end of the series you’ll be experienced enough to turn your ideas into real apps that you can sell on the App Store.
  • Catalyst by Tutorials: Run iOS apps natively on macOS with Catalyst!
    Catalyst by Tutorials shows you how to take all of those great apps you’ve build on iOS and run them right on macOS. But like everything else with Apple, it’s not always as straightforward as you’d like it to be. This book will show you how to design your apps to work well on macOS, what you can and can’t port between the two platforms, and any other “gotchas” to keep an eye out for when building apps under Catalyst.
  • Swift Apprentice: For complete beginners to Swift and coding. No prior programming experience necessary! This is a book for complete beginners to Apple’s modern programming language — Swift. All the code in the book works inside of Xcode’s easy-to-use playgrounds. That means you can focus on core Swift language concepts, such as classes, protocols, and generics, instead of getting bogged down in the details of building apps.
  • Advanced iOS Architecture: Advanced iOS App Architecture thoroughly explains multiple modern iOS architectures, and demonstrates their usage in real-world apps. Each architecture chapter concludes by covering the pros and cons of that architecture. You can read this section in order — or jump straight to the architecture that interests you.

The Ultimate Pro subscription gets you access to all of our books — including all books we release in the future!
