This book is the easiest and fastest way to get hands-on experience with the iOS design patterns you need to know. Who This Book Is For Whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced iOS developer, this book is for you. You can either read this book from cover to cover, or skip around to just the patterns you want to learn. Topics Covered in Design Patterns by Tutorials Getting Started: You'll first learn about how design patterns work and how they can help you build better, cleaner apps. Fundamental Patterns: You'll progress onto fundamental design patterns, such as MVC, Delegation, and Strategy, which you're likely to use on every iOS app. Intermediate Patterns: You'll then learn about intermediate design patterns, such as MVVM, Factory, and Adapter, which are less common than fundamental patterns but still very useful for most apps. You'll finish off by learning about advanced design patterns, including Flyweight, Mediator and Command. You likely won't use these on every app, but they may be just what you need to solve a difficult problem. One thing you can count on: after reading this book, you'll be well-prepared to use design patterns in your own apps!
