Excellent book on Swift 2 By Just Me When I saw the one 2 star review of this book stating it had numerous typos, I read though a number of pages in the “Look Inside” preview and could not find any typos therefore I decided to order it.I have read the first couple of chapters and found the book to be very informative. I am looking forward to getting to the more advance chapters since I am fairly familiar with Swift.I would definitely recommend this book to friends who are trying to learn Swift or need to move from Swift 1.x to version 2.

By mrGott So recently I got my hands on the newly released Mastering Swift 2 (released November 2015) by Jon Hoffman and published by PacktPub.I was excited. I instantly downloaded my copy of e-book and just wanted to take a quick look at it before evening to dive in. Well later I realized that I spent my one hour lunch break reading Mastering Swift 2.By the time of writing this review I’ve covered the whole book and I can say that it’s been the most pleasant and exciting ride I’ve ever had with reading any book.I guess I can compare it with the feelings when I was a kid and watched Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst on the big screen for the first time. For a month or two I was in the Spider-Man world and since then I still love Spider-Man.Now let’s get serious.This book is perfectly written. The author describes and explains everything the way it makes clear even for a novice.My purpose with the book was to once again go through basics of Swift and learn about the new stuff that has been added to version 2.To be honest I expected much less then this book really offered.One of the most important stuff incorporated into Swift 2 are protocol extensions. In the first version of Swift, it was possible to extend the functionality of existing class, struct and enum types. Now with Swift 2, you can extend a protocol as well. I never knew what Protocol-Oriented programing was. While it may only seem like a minor feature at first, protocol extensions are extremely powerful and can transform the way you write code. This books explains it and even tells you how to use protocol extensions and why you would want to use protocol extensions in details.Error handling has been revamped in Swift 2. Instead of NSError objects and double pointers, they moved to a new system that looks similar to exception handling. If I didn’t read this book I would know nothing about error handling in Swift 2 in such details. And probably my code would be more prone to bugs and security problems.One thing worth of noting is that you can read about all of the new features elsewhere, but the way of presenting this information and “teaching” is outstanding by Jon Hoffman.This book covers all of the main features of Swift and gives you great explanation. It also covers topics such as working with XML and JSON, working with NSURLSession. This book has got everything.I could write much more about the contents of the book that makes almost 400 pages and after some time you would think – “I should probably read it, guess its worth of it”. I can tell you straight away that it’s a MUST READ book for everyone, novice and expert.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good book for learning Swift 2 at your own pace By F. Bronner Good all around introduction to the language Swift 2. The examples are easy enough to follow and to type in to try out in the playground. I took a Swift introduction course back in the beginning of December and I wish they had used this book as the teaching book instead of another obsolete Swift 1.2 book.This book is simple enough my 13 years old has started reading it and while I do not anticipate him reading past chapter 12...it is easy enough for him to follow.Again, this book is not to help you learn to program, it is a book for someone who is already fluent in another language and just wants to learn Swift 2.
