CHAPTER 1
What Is SwiftUI
In this chapter, we'll review the principles of SwiftUI and why it came into being. You'll see the advantages that it offers over traditional methodologies of development and how easy it is to write UI without having to worry much about it in a much more declarative manner.
The Beginnings
Every year, WWDC is always a source of exciting stuff for developers; everyone waits with baited breath to see what new tech is being introduced by Apple. Historically, WWDC, which is the Developers Conference,
has been the forum where numerous new and interesting technologies have been previewed for release in some time. The most current groundbreaking piece of tech released by Apple was in 2014 when Apple released Swift, an alternative to the aging Objective-C. This not only had an easier syntax and was based on modern programming fundamentals but was also open sourced. Five years have passed since then and several books and apps are now created using Swift. This year in 2019, at WWDC, Apple released something that got developers all excited once again, called SwiftUI (Figure 1-1). Though this is still a new technology and at the time of writing the book still in beta, it can have some changes which would only add more functionality to the existing repertoire of SwiftUI.
