iOS Games by Tutorials Second Edition print version now available!
Good news – the print version of our popular book iOS Games by Tutorials Second Edition is now available!
This is the print version for the brand new second edition, which is fully updated for iOS 8 and Swift.
Since the book was previously in Objective-C, this is a massive update – an entirely new programming language!
In addition, we also updated all games in the book to be Universal apps that work on both iPhone and iPad (previously they were iPhone only). We also added some extra chapters that show how to port the games to the Mac.
Keep reading for some more pictures of the new second edition, learn about a discount for iOS Games by Tutorials PDF customers, and enter for (another) print book giveaway!
The Book
As you know, iOS Games by Tutorials is huge – over 800 pages! In fact it was so large that we had to make a few chapters downloadable so it would fit :]
Here’s a picture of what the book looks like next to my iPhone 5:
The print quality came out great, and is easy to read and thumb through. Here’s what the inside of the book looks like:
Note that on our store page, we have two options:
- Just the PDF. Nothing’s changed here – if you prefer electronic books you can buy just the PDF same way you usually would.
- The PDF + Print Version Bundle. This gives you the best of both worlds. It also saves you a lot of money – you’re effectively getting the printed books at a big discount compared to buying them separately.
Note we don’t offer an option for just the printed book. This is because we like to keep our books as up-to-date as we can, and we want to be able to give all our customers access to these updates (in PDF form). For example, iOS Apprentice PDF customers have received 4 major updates since it was first released (from iOS 4->5->6->7->8)!
Discount for iOS Games by Bundle PDF Customers – 1 Week Only
If you bought the PDF version of iOS Games by Tutorials Bundle, you are eligible for a special discount on the print version, to effectively “upgrade” your order to the PDF+Print bundle.
I will send all PDF version customers an email with instructions for how to upgrade your purchase in a few minutes.
If for some reason you do not get the email, just contact me and we’ll get it sorted.
Note this discount will expire in just 1 week, so if you’re interested snag it fast! :]
The Giveaway
One last thing. To celebrate the launch, we’re giving away a free copy of the book!
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post – this Friday we’ll choose 1 lucky winner to get the free copy.
And yes – if you entered the Swift by Tutorials Bundle giveaway, you can enter this one too :]
That’s it – we hope you all enjoy the print version of iOS Games by Tutorials Second Edition! If you’d like to pick up a copy just check out our store page.
We hope you enjoy the new print version! :]
