iOS developer reading list

The best way to learn and master iOS development is to read the official documentation. It can be boring but you can trust its accuracy and the information will be presented without opinion.

Read documents in order where indicated.

Topics

• Preliminary guides
• Objective-C

// MARK: Using NSURLSession
  
// Get first todo item
let todoEndpoint: String = "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1"
guard let url = NSURL(string: todoEndpoint) else {
  print("Error: cannot create URL")
  return
}
let urlRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url)

Please consider using http://lygia.xyz instead of copy/pasting this functions. It expand suport for voronoi, voronoise, fbm, noise, worley, noise, derivatives and much more, through simple file dependencies. Take a look to https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/lygia/tree/main/generative

Generic 1,2,3 Noise

float rand(float n){return fract(sin(n) * 43758.5453123);}

float noise(float p){
	float fl = floor(p);
  float fc = fract(p);

Events & Delegates
------------------

Events and Delegates were something I struggled with when I was first learning how they worked. Once I figured it out it became one of the most useful and powerful techniques for games. Its especially useful for helping to decouple classes while allowing for messaging. 

Delegates - Simply a container for a function that can be used as a variable. 

Events - Allows you to specify a delegate that gets called when some event in your code is triggered.
