Well, the introduction of the new Swift programming language will make game development even more appealing and easier to existing and future iOS app developers. In response, \u003cstrong\u003eJames Goodwill, Wesley Matlock\u003c\/strong\u003e and Apress introduce you to this book, \u003cem\u003eBeginning Swift Games Development for iOS\u003c\/em\u003e. In this book, you'll learn the fundamental elements of the new Swift language as applied to game development for iOS. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn part 1, you'll start with a basic 2D game idea and build the game throughout the book introducing each SpriteKit topic as we add new functionality to the game. By the end of the book, you'll have experience with all the important SpriteKit topics and have a fully functional game as a result. In part 2 of this book, you'll learn 3D game development using Apple's SceneKit framework and the Swift programming language. And, you'll follow the same pattern we used for part 1. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter reading and using this book, you'll have the skills and the code to build your first 2D and then 3D game app that you can run on any iOS enabled device and perhaps sell in the Apple iTunes App Store. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is the Swift Programming Language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to apply it to iOS game development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to use SpriteKit with Swift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to use SceneKit with Swift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to build your first 2D game app using SpriteKit and Swift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to build 3D game from 2D using SceneKit and Swift\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     This book is for iOS app developers new to Swift or for those thinking of doing iOS game app development for the very first time.       \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003cstrong\u003ePart I\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
