[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good crash course in getting iOS applications built with Swift. Provides adequate coverage of both the language and the frameworks with plenty of practical examples.

Some of the sections seem to be targeted at more novice programmers, but I think this book is intended to be used by intermediate/experienced developers who have yet to wade into the Apple ecosystem.
