In 250 pages Migrating to Swift from Android gives you as an experienced Android app developer
all you need to create native iOS apps using the latest Swift programming language. Starting
with preparing your Xcode 6.1 IDE and introducing just enough iOS application framework
fundamentals you'll understand how to create meaningful Swift applications for iOS 8
immediately. After the short IDE setup guide this book continues by providing guidance on how
to translate your existing Android apps to iOS. Every topic comes with a tutorial project
you'll plan and structure your iOS apps following a typical top-down process using Xcode
Storyboards. To implement use cases you'll cover common mobile topics including user
interfaces managing data and networking with remote services. As you move through Part 2 of
this book you'll create simple and meaningful iOS apps with rich UI components to handle
common CRUD operations locally and remotely. Part 3 demonstrates the whole porting process by
translating a typical mobile app from Android to iOS 8 from start to finish. When you finish
reading Migrating to Swift from Android you'll be an iOS developer as well as an Android
developer. And you will be fully convinced you can create iOS apps just like you do in
Android. In most cases it is a waste not to port your native Android apps to iOS.
