Appetizer: Learning Swift 3

Apple unveiled a lot of changes in iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and macOS this year, but there’s one thing that will affect every developer: Swift 3.

Swift 3 includes massive changes: to the Swift language, and the Cocoa APIs it uses. This means that if you’re porting your code to Swift 3, you’re going to need to make a ton of changes!

You may have found it hard to keep track of what’s going on with Swift 3 due to its constant evolution, but don’t worry: we’ve got you covered.

So let’s get this feast started with a tasty treat: Learning Swift 3, raywenderlich.com style!

If you are a beginner to Swift

If you are a beginner to Swift, now is a great time to learn: you can learn Swift 3 from the ground up!

There are two ways to learn Swift 3 at raywenderlich.com:

Second Course: tvOS Apprentice Second Edition

Guess what: we updated the tvOS Apprentice too!

In the tvOS Apprentice Second Edition, you learn how to make tvOS apps from the ground up, with a series of tutorials for complete beginners. You’ll learn how to make tvOS apps in two different ways: via the traditional method using UIKit, and via the new Client-Server method using TVML.

You’ll learn how to download video and other content and display it in your app, built great-looking interfaces with UI elements designed for the Apple TV experience, monetize your app with in-app purchases, add animations, and much, much more!

The second edition includes some brand new new content:

• A new chapter on PhotoKit (introduced in tvOS 10) to show great Photo Library integrations.
• A new chapter on Multipeer Connectivity (also introduced in tvOS 10) to show how tvOS and iOS apps can better communicate with one another.
• Inclusion of Dark Mode APIs in the UI chapters to show how your interface can better display in low light interfaces.

This is also a free update for existing PDF customers, and will be released Wednesday, Sep 28.

We can’t wait to show you the new edition of the book!

We’ve included four new chapters in the second edition:

• Designing Great Watch Apps: Apple has repeatedly emphasized glanceable, actionable, and responsive as the design goal of watchOS 3 apps. From icon design to the new interactivity APIs, make your apps stand out from the rest.
• CloudKit: Learn how to persist and retrieve data with CloudKit and keep your Watch and iPhone synchronized — even when they’re not in range of each other.
• Snapshot API: Glances are out, snapshots are in. Learn how to make your app appear in the new Dock — and update the icon dynamically!

Fourth Course: Core Data by Tutorials, Third Edition

Marching right along, we’re pleased to bring you the third edition of Core Data by Tutorials!

Core Data in iOS 10 is all making Core Data easier to learn and use:

• Say goodbye to screenfuls of code just for setting up the Core Data “stack”.
• Say goodbye to generating and maintaining managed object subclasses. Say goodbye to having to tell Swift what type of managed object you’re dealing with.
• Say goodbye to single readers at the persistent store level.
• And say goodbye (a bit sadly) to iCloud support for Core Data, which has been deprecated. Well, it can’t all be good news. ;]

Core Data by Tutorials teaches you everything you need to know about Core Data, starting with the basics like setting up your own Core Data Stack and moving all the way to advanced topics like migration, performance, multithreading, and more.

This is also a free update for existing PDF customers, and will be released on Wednesday, Oct 5. We hope you enjoy! :]

Fifth Course: 2D Apple Games by Tutorials, Second Edition

At WWDC 2016, Apple announced a lot of cool new features to both SpriteKit and Xcode, including built-in tile map support and the ability to run SpriteKit on watchOS. Yes, you read that correctly! :]

These changes were so significant that we decided it would be better to completely revamp 2D Games by Tutorials (again!) — we even included new games!

Here are the highlights of this edition:

• Zombie Conga: Fully updated for Swift 3 and iOS 10. We’ve moved the detail about porting to tvOS to a brand-new section — “Section V: Other Platforms” — to give it a more in-depth treatment.
• Cat Nap: Fully updated for Swift 3 and iOS 10. Again, we’ve moved the tvOS detail to Section V.
• (New!) Pest Control: First introduced in iOS Games by Tutorials, this new and improved version uses the new tile maps features in SpriteKit and covers saving and loading game data.
• Drop Charge: Fully updated for Swift 3 and iOS 10. We’ve taken the GameplayKit features and migrated them out of this version so we can cover them in depth in a future book.
• (New!) Zombie Piranhas: A completely new game specifically designed to teach you how to work with other Apple platforms like macOS, tvOS and watchOS.
• CircuitRacer: Fully updated for Swift 3 and iOS 10 and updated to reflect recent iAd changes.

Current 2D Apple Games by Tutorials PDF customers will receive this as a free update.

We’ve updated the entire book to reflect the new features of SceneKit and brought it fully up to date with iOS 10 and Xcode 8. We’ve added a new chapter dedicated to creating 3D art:

• 3D Art for Programmers: Learn how to create your own voxel art like Mr. Pig!

Ninth Course: Unity Games by Tutorials

Hopefully you caught our surprise early access launch of Unity Games by Tutorials back at the end of August! If not, check out the early access trailer:

Here’s why Unity is a fantastic platform for game development:

• It’s free to use. If you’re an indie game developer, you can download and start using Unity for free, which is great when you’re just learning.
• It’s cross-platform. With Unity, you make your game once and you can build it for a variety of platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and more.
• It has a visual editor. Unlike other game platforms where you have to type tons of code before you see anything on the screen, with Unity you can simply import an asset and drag and drop. This visual style of development is great for beginners and professionals alike, and makes game development fast and fun.
• Live debugging. With Unity you can click a button to preview your game instantly in the editor, and you can even modify game objects on the fly. For example, you can drag new enemies onto the level as you play it, tweak gameplay values and more, allowing for an iterative game design process.
• Unity is fun! You can think of Unity like a box of LEGO: the only limits are those of your own imagination.

Here’s a brief overview of the book:

• Section I, Hello, Unity!: This section covers everything you need to know to get started with Unity. You’ll learn your way around the UI, how to work with game assets and physics, and create a 3D twin-stick combat game: Bobblehead Wars.
• Section II, First-Person Games: Move on to more complex game development topics, such as adding in-game UI elements, advanced camera techniques and using multiple weapons. In this section, you’ll build a fast-paced first-person shooter: Robot Rampage.
• Section III: Unity 2D Games: Unity makes it easy to build your own classic 2D platformer. You’ll learn how to work with 2D physics, how to build levels with sprites and colliders, how to work with raycasting, animation controllers, and how to store and retrieve player data for your games.
• Section IV, Tower Defense: In this section, you’ll create a 3D tower defense game — Runestrife — with such beautifully-rendered enemies it almost seems a shame to shoot them. Learn how to create a map using 3D tiles, how to craft utility scripts, create waves of enemies, prepare your game for publishing, and even how to play your game in Virtual Reality!

Unity Games by Tutorials will be the final book released as part of the iOS 10 Feast, on Wednesday, Nov. 2.
