A Swift Kickstart: Introducing the Swift Programming Language
This best-selling book gets experienced programmers up to speed quickly with Swift 5.
Swift is Apple’s open-source programming language for writing everything from iOS apps to server side code. This new version is updated to Swift 4, the latest release of Swift and is filled with hands-on examples that you can follow along with on a Mac using Xcode or on an iPad using Swift Playgrounds. Learn the basics of Swift programming including functions, variables, constants, and types, then expand your skills with classes, structs, enumerations, and protocols.
This is the perfect book for the experienced developer who wants to get serious about learning the latest version of the Swift programming language. If you know at least one modern programming language, this book will teach you how to think and program in Swift. Swift’s design is inspired by elements from object-oriented, functional, and generic programming.
The book begins with an introduction to basic components of programming in functions, variables and constants, collections, and types from the Swift Standard Library. In the second part, create and use your own enumerations, structs, classes, and protocols.
Working your way through this book is a great way to learn the language of the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.

The book so far is brilliant, i have completed first 5 chapters of the book and they are further divided in to small sections, the books builds the knowledge slowly and the author way of writing is , as if some one is just sitting across the table, the examples are clear and precise. What i also found very interesting and unique is that the author does not remove the earlier part of code while explaining new concepts, but highlights the new parts along with all the older code as well ...
This is a great book for any one looking to learn the fundamentals of Swift language in a way that will help them build real world apps.
Update - i have completed book and i have to say it was a brilliant read.
