## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Obviously written by people with experience teaching
*by D***. on February 6, 2016*

I am about 1/3rd of the way through the book so far and am really enjoying it. The authors clearly have experience in teaching. The chapters progress nicely, building from one to the next and don't overwhelm the reader (at least so far). The writing style is easy to understand and avoids throwing more esoteric concepts at you before you're ready. Although this book is beginning level, it gets into more advanced concepts than other beginning Swift materials I've studied. I've found it to be right at the level I need - not too simple and not way over my head.Another thing that I love about this book is it's very practical. It doesn't just say "here is what a (function, property, control statement, etc) is", it's more like "here is what that thing is; here are some examples of how use it, the best way being this..."In my opinion, the low-star ratings for this book are from people who thought they were getting something else when they ordered it (something more advanced). I don't think the low ratings reflect the actual quality of the book. There was definitely effort put in to make the concepts grasp-able and build on each other in a practical way. The Swift documentation is indispensable, but this book is more like have a teacher sit down with you to go through concepts and examples to solidify your understanding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book.
*by A***E on February 14, 2016*

Great introduction to Swift Programming. It goes through many examples of how to use the features in swift. It wasn't my first language before going through this book as I come from CS background. Whether you programmed in the past or not, you still have to follow along by trying out the exercises they give or you will not learn quickly. The only thing that's wrong with this book is its plain text. I find it easier to follow along when the code is in color. Other than that, definitely a 5 star book for learning swift. Very comprehensive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Swift 3 soon to be released.
*by F***S on July 1, 2016*

This is a very good introduction to Swift. It is well written and easy to read leading the learner through progressively difficult concepts. I already had the Kindle edition but like to have hard copies of academic texts so I can write in the margins and make tabbed bookmarks. However, the day after this book was purchased, I found that Apple has Swift three in beta test for distribution later this year. Just like Swift 2, the third version will not be totally compatible with Swift 2 (or 1). Supposedly, Swift 3 will be the last Swift version that Apple will break with a newer version. Again, this is an excellent text, just be aware that there will be a new version, not just a new edition, later this year or early next year.
