concepts, you'll explore Android programming and get to grips with
creating applications with a professional-standard UI using
fragments and storing user data with SQLite. This Android Java book
also shows you how you can make your apps multilingual, draw on the
screen with a finger, and work with graphics, sound, and
animations. By the end of this Android programming book, you'll be
ready to start building your own custom applications in Android and
Java. What you will learn Understand the fundamentals of coding in
Java for Android Install and set up your Android development
environment Build functional user interfaces with the Android
Studio visual designer Add user interaction, data captures, sound,
and animation to your apps Manage your apps' data using the
built-in Android SQLite database Explore the design patterns used
by professionals to build top-grade applications Build real-world
Android applications that you can deploy to the Google Play
marketplace Who this book is forThis Android book is for you if you
are completely new to Java, Android, or programming and want to get
started with Android app development. If you have experience of
using Java on Android, this book will serve as a refresher to help

detailed background information and practical examples that will
help you get hands-on with using iOS 14's new features. The book
also contains examples that highlight the language changes in Swift
5.3. As you advance through the chapters, you'll see how to apply
Dark Mode to your app, understand lists and tables, and use
animations effectively. You'll then create your code using
generics, protocols, and extensions and focus on using Core Data,
before progressing to perform network calls and update your storage
and UI with the help of sample projects. Toward the end, you'll
make your apps smarter using machine learning, streamline the flow
of your code with the Combine framework, and amaze users by using
Vision framework and ARKit 4.0 features. By the end of this iOS
development book, you'll be able to build apps that harness
advanced techniques and make the best use of iOS 14's features.
What you will learn Build a professional iOS application using
Xcode 12.4 and Swift 5.3 Create impressive new widgets for your
apps with iOS 14 Extend the audience of your app by creating an App
Clip Improve the flow of your code with the Combine framework
Enhance your app by using Core Location Integrate Core Data to
persist information in your app Train and use machine learning
models with Core ML Create engaging augmented reality experiences
with ARKit 4 and the Vision framework Who this book is forThis book
is for developers with some experience in iOS programming who want
to enhance their application development skills by unlocking the
full potential of the latest iOS version with Swift.
Discover recipes for building feature-rich, reliable iOS native
apps and explore the latest features in Swift 5.3 with the help of
proven industry standard recipes, modern design techniques, and
popular strategies Key Features Understand how closures work and
make use of generics with protocols to write flexible code Discover
the fundamentals of Swift and build apps with frameworks such as
Foundation, Networking, and UIKit Get to grips with the new
features of Swift 5.3, including SwiftUI, CoreML and the Vision
Framework Book DescriptionSwift is an exciting, multi-platform,
general-purpose programming language, and with this book, you'll
explore the features of its latest version, Swift 5.3. The book
begins with an introduction to the basic building blocks of Swift
5.3, its syntax, and the functionalities of Swift constructs.
You'll then discover how Swift Playgrounds provide an ideal
platform to write, execute, and debug your Swift code. As you
advance through the chapters, the book will show you how to bundle
variables into tuples or sets, order your data with an array, store
key-value pairs with dictionaries, and use property observers.
You'll also get to grips with the decision-making and control
structures in Swift, examine advanced features such as generics and
operators, and explore functionalities outside of the standard
library. Once you've learned how to build iOS applications using
UIKit, you'll find out how to use Swift for server-side
programming, run Swift on Linux, and investigate Vapor. Finally,
