In this book, we&rsquo;ll explore the key APIs and design patterns that power SwiftUI, giving you a solid foundation to write more efficient, maintainable, and expressive code.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve been working with SwiftUI since it was first released and later had the privilege of contributing to its development as a member of the core SwiftUI team at Apple, where I helped design and build some of the framework&rsquo;s most widely used APIs. I wrote this book to share the insights I gained during that time, insights that will help you better understand how SwiftUI is built and how you can use it more effectively in your own projects.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2024\/12\/19\/swiftuwhy\/\">SwiftUWhy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2024\/07\/24\/swiftui-at-wwdc24\/\">SwiftUI at WWDC24<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2024\/02\/16\/the-swiftui-field-guide\/\">The SwiftUI Field Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/10\/04\/thinking-in-swiftui-2023\/\">Thinking in SwiftUI (2023)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/06\/30\/macos-apprentice\/\">macOS Apprentice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/10\/13\/integrate-swiftui-into-a-uikit-app\/\">Integrate SwiftUI Into a UIKit App<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natalia Panferova (tweet): This book distills the core principles and foundational concepts behind SwiftUI, the modern UI framework for building apps across Apple platforms.
