Swift Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide Review: EXCELLENT guide for learning Swift, but less SwiftUI coverage than I expected - This book has the feel of a high school/college textbook, and I found its explanations of the Swift language well written. It only has 2 chapters dealing with SwiftUI and iOS, though, so if you're looking for something focusing on that, as I was, this isn't it. It makes use of XCode's Playground and Command Line Tool (not to be confused with the CLI application Terminal that's installed on all MacOSs) almost exclusively, keeping the clutter to a minimum. Despite lacking SwiftUI, the rest of the book is such great reference material for the vast amount of the concepts, types, functions, what-have-yous of the Swift language, I'm seriously considering buying the Kindle version as a (more understandable) replacement for the oftentimes dense Swift Programming Language written by Apple. Although it won't guide you while making simple apps, I would absolutely recommend this as THE first book with which you should start your journey into Swift. Review: Excellent Learning Tool - I’ve been coding professionally for 33 years and have read a few great coding books. This is excellent. Good writing. Good typesetting. Good examples. Makes good use of Xcode playground. I am able to jump around to various chapters and quickly digest how stuff works in Swift. Highly recommend for any professional wishing to learn this language. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,246,588 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in Swift Programming Language #38 in Apple Programming #152 in Mobile App Development & Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (120) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.3 x 9.9 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 0135264200 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0135264201 | | Item Weight | 2.25 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Big Nerd Ranch Guides | | Print length | 496 pages | | Publication date | October 16, 2020 | | Publisher | Big Nerd Ranch Guides | ## Images ![Swift Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ITQQNa4aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT guide for learning Swift, but less SwiftUI coverage than I expected *by D***E on May 28, 2022* This book has the feel of a high school/college textbook, and I found its explanations of the Swift language well written.

Looks like at about chapter 17 some one else started writing. The style changed. Good reference to have though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Swift Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (Big Nerd Ranch Guides) - iOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide - SwiftUI Cookbook - Third Edition: A guide for building beautiful and interactive SwiftUI apps --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/83662552-swift-programming-the-big-nerd-ranch-guide](https://www.desertcart.is/products/83662552-swift-programming-the-big-nerd-ranch-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
