What if you could build your very first iOS app... even if you've never written a single line of Swift before?
Have you ever opened the App Store and thought, "I wish I could create something like this"-but had no idea where to start?
Let's be honest: learning app development can feel overwhelming. There are new terms flying at you, strange symbols, and concepts that seem built for experts. But what if someone sat beside you and walked you through everything in a way that actually made sense?
That's exactly what this book is.
Swift Start: Building Your First iOS App by E.J. Franklin isn't a textbook-it's a conversation. A patient, step-by-step, "you got this" kind of guide that assumes nothing and explains everything. It asks the questions you're already thinking and answers them without techy arrogance or skipping over the hard parts.
What does SwiftUI really do? How do views, models, and logic actually fit together? What happens when things break-and how do you fix them without panicking?
Instead of burying you in theory, Swift Start takes you on a journey-from idea to App Store submission. You'll build a real app, understand every line you write, and learn why it matters. No shortcuts. No filler. Just clear, beginner-first guidance that builds your confidence with every chapter.
And just when you think you've reached the end? The book opens new doors. What comes next? Async/await? Maps? Apple Watch apps? You'll be asking the right questions before you're done-and ready for Book Two.
So, what's stopping you?
What if you started today? What if this book is the difference between just having an idea and actually building it?
