Dart Apprentice: Fundamentals (First Edition): Modern Cross-Platform Programming With Dart

Sande, Jonathan

Tutorial Team, Kodeco

Learn Intermediate-Level Dart! 
Dart is the language you use to write cross-platform applications in Flutter. You're not limited to Flutter, though. You can also use Dart to write command-line and backend server applications. The official documentation is great, but it doesn't go into the depth or provide all the examples that a book can. 
Dart Apprentice: Beyond the Basics is here to help by building on your foundational knowledge of the language as you grow to become a fully proficient Dart developer. Who This Book is For 
Dart Apprentice: Beyond the Basics is for developers who already know the fundamental concepts of programming in Dart but want to take their skills to the next level. Topics Covered in Dart Apprentice: Beyond the Basics String Manipulation: Searching and changing text with regular expressions. Anonymous Functions: Passing functions around as first-class citizens. Object-Oriented Programming: Using inheritance, abstract classes and interfaces. Mixins: Sharing code between classes. Extension Methods: Adding features to classes that don't belong to you. Generics: Making your classes and functions handle multiple types. Enhanced Enums: Letting your enums act more like classes. Error Handling: Planning for what might go wrong. Asynchronous Programming: Using futures and streams to handle long-running tasks. Isolates: Running code in parallel. 
One thing you can count on: After reading this book, you'll be prepared to learn Flutter or server-side app development in Dart.

Learn SwiftUI Animations! 
SwiftUI has absolutely changed our lives when it comes to developer experience and developer productivity. We can make beautiful apps extremely quickly, get instant feedback from SwiftUI previews and iterate. SwiftUI also enables developers to easily leverage most common animations using simple SwiftUI modifiers, making it a pleasure to use. But it also begs the question: "How do I make my app stand out if everyone is using the same standard animations?" 
Luckily, SwiftUI Animations by Tutorials is here to help you learn how to create detailed and delightful animations, starting from the basics and up to the most complex and customizable ones. Who This Book is For 
This book aims to push the envelope for seasoned developers who can leverage SwiftUI's basic animation system but aren't aware of the many advanced concepts available to bring their animations to the next level of craftsmanship and interactivity, broadening the reader's horizons and creative thinking. Topics Covered in SwiftUI Animations by Tutorials Basic Animations: You'll start your journey through this book by exploring how the SwiftUI animation system works and how to create some simple and useful animations. Timing Curves: You'll learn how animation timing curves work and how to create your own custom timing curves. Transitions: Transitions represent how elements enter and exit the scene in SwiftUI. You'll use and learn how to leverage the most basic transitions, build up to complex transitions using Matched Geometry, and finally build an entirely custom transition. Shape Animations: You'll learn how to use animations to enhance custom shapes and their paths. Custom Animations: You'll learn how to leverage the Animatable protocol to create entirely custom animations based on complex value changes. You'll use AnimatablePair to further your custom animations to support multiple value changes. Time-Based Animations: You'll learn how to create custom animations that occur over time and get to build one such animation and draw it on a custom Canvas. SceneKit & SwiftUI: You'll learn how to enjoy the best of both worlds, combining SwiftUI animations with SceneKit animations right inside your SwiftUI views. Real World Elements: You'll wrap up this book by recreating a well-known highly-complex UI element — The Apple Watch Honeycomb grid, and use everything you learned throughout the book to achieve a well-polished result. 
One thing you can count on: After reading this book, you’ll be prepared to tackle any crazy animation ideas that come to your mind, impressing your users with well-crafted animations.

Learn Modern Swift Concurrency! 
For years, writing powerful and safe concurrent apps with Swift could easily turn into a daunting task, full of race conditions and unexplained crashes hidden in a massive nesting of callback closures. 
In Swift 5.5, Apple introduced a new concurrency model featuring the async/await syntax, which lets you write asynchronous code that reads like synchronous code. But like any new feature, here be dragons! So how will you achieve the much-desired mastery of modern Swift concurrency? 
Modern Concurrency in Swift comes to the rescue, showcasing what you need to know about async/await, tasks, actors and everything in between! Who This Book Is For 
This book is for intermediate Swift developers who are familiar with writing asynchronous applications and who want to leverage the concurrency features Apple introduced in Swift 5.5 and its evolution throughout the years, to write safer and more predictable asynchronous apps. Topics Covered in Modern Concurrency in Swift Using async/await: Learn how to use the new async/await keywords to define and run asynchronous work. Actors: Find out how to use the actor model to easily protect shared mutable state in a synchronized container. Tasks: You'll dive deeper into the Task type, which powers all asynchronous tasks in Swift's modern concurrency model. Task Groups: Use a Task Group to group multiple tasks together and run them concurrently, while using a familiar Array-like syntax to iterate over the results. Custom Asynchronous Sequences: Leverage the power of async/await in your own asynchronous work, by learning how to create custom AsyncStreams. Testing Asynchronous Code: Asynchronous code can be a challenging beast to test. You'll learn everything you need to tackle this challenge. 
One thing you can count on: After reading this book, you’ll be prepared to leverage Swift's new concurrency features in your app to write safe, performant and predictable asynchronous code.
