Throughout the book, the authors share their insights into Swift to ensure that you understand the hows and whys of Swift and can put that understanding to use in different contexts. After working through the book, you will have the knowledge and confidence to develop your own solutions to a wide range of programming challenges using Swift. Review: EXCELLENT guide for learning Swift, but less SwiftUI coverage than I expected - This book has the feel of a high school/college textbook, and I found its explanations of the Swift language well written. It only has 2 chapters dealing with SwiftUI and iOS, though, so if you're looking for something focusing on that, as I was, this isn't it. It makes use of XCode's Playground and Command Line Tool (not to be confused with the CLI application Terminal that's installed on all MacOSs) almost exclusively, keeping the clutter to a minimum. Despite lacking SwiftUI, the rest of the book is such great reference material for the vast amount of the concepts, types, functions, what-have-yous of the Swift language, I'm seriously considering buying the Kindle version as a (more understandable) replacement for the oftentimes dense Swift Programming Language written by Apple. Although it won't guide you while making simple apps, I would absolutely recommend this as THE first book with which you should start your journey into Swift. Review: Overall Great Book - The examples used to back up and apply the ideas and concepts were practicable. I really like that they had a website forum to go along with the textbook which I relied on it a lot for doing the challenges at the end of each chapter. I initially started with the follow-up textbook called "iOS programming" but realized it was getting too difficult to do the end-of-chapter challenges. So I got this textbook to help brush up on those areas. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,427,222 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #50 in Swift Programming Language #61 in Apple Programming #280 in Mobile App Development & Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 120 Reviews | ## Images ![Swift Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ITQQNa4aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT guide for learning Swift, but less SwiftUI coverage than I expected *by D***E on May 28, 2022* This book has the feel of a high school/college textbook, and I found its explanations of the Swift language well written.

Looks like at about chapter 17 some one else started writing. The style changed. Good reference to have though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Swift Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (Big Nerd Ranch Guides) - iOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide - SwiftUI Cookbook - Third Edition: A guide for building beautiful and interactive SwiftUI apps --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/83662552-swift-programming-the-big-nerd-ranch-guide](https://www.desertcart.at/products/83662552-swift-programming-the-big-nerd-ranch-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
