Design Patterns by Tutorials

Learn design patterns with Swift!

Design patterns are incredibly useful, no matter what language or platform you develop for. Using the right pattern for the right job can save you time, create less maintenance work for your team and ultimately let you create more great things with less effort.

Every developer should absolutely know about design patterns and how and when to apply them. That’s what you’re going to learn in this book!

  • Start with the basic building blocks of patterns such as MVC, Delegate and Strategy.
  • Move into more advanced patterns such as the Factory, Prototype and Multicast Delegate pattern.
  • Finish off with some less-common but still incredibly useful patterns including Flyweight, Command and Chain of Responsibility.

And not only does Design Patterns by Tutorials cover each pattern in theory, but you’ll also work to incorporate each pattern in a real-world app that’s included with each chapter. Learn by doing, in the step-by-step fashion you’ve come to expect in the other books in our by Tutorials series.

This book is in early access; the complete digital edition will be released in Late Spring 2018.

We’ll be releasing a free chapter from this book on Wednesday, April 25, to help you discover what the book has in store for you!

“The book all iOS and macOS developers have all been waiting for: Design Patterns by Tutorials is the best of the wisdom of that gang of four written in Swift. Need a singleton that’s ready to try in a playground, along with clear guidance about how to use it and not misuse it? This is your essential guide.” – Mark W. Powell
