Book Description

This is a comprehensive guide designed to equip developers with the skills to seamlessly integrate back-end and front-end technologies using Swift and Vapor. The book starts with an overview of full-stack development, including the history and advantages of this approach, before diving into the essential tools and environments needed to get started. Readers will learn how to set up Xcode and the Vapor toolbox, create routes, and implement MVC patterns in Vapor, as well as work with JSON data. The book then covers advanced topics such as asynchronous programming, HTML rendering, PostgreSQL integration, and error handling within Vapor. Simultaneously, it guides readers through building sophisticated iOS user interfaces using Auto Layout, SwiftUI, and Core Data for data persistence. The content culminates in a full-stack implementation that brings together server-side logic and a connected iOS application, followed by discussions on advanced topics like middleware, WebSockets, and security. Finally, the book provides in-depth instructions on deploying iOS and Vapor applications using Heroku, Docker, and the App Store. Throughout, real-world projects and exercises reinforce learning, making this an indispensable resource for mastering full-stack iOS development.
