First and foremost, I would like to thank my mom, Shanti Shekar, and dad, R. Shekar, for their continuing, unconditional love and support.
Also, three people I can't thank enough are Andreas from Code'n'Web, Tom from 71Squared, and Soren of EsotericSoftware for their awesome tools. Otherwise, I would have spent most of my time developing tools rather than creating any games. Additionally, thanks to Michael for writing the Spine Runtime for Swift. Thanks to the team at Apple for developing an awesome language and framework, and for making the lives of game developers a little less like hell.
A special thanks to Packt Publishing for putting this book together. I would like to thank Shaon Basu and Samantha Gonsalves for helping and guiding me through every step in the process of writing this book. Thanks to the technical reviewers for the technical feedback and tips. I have really learned a lot of new things in this process.
Finally, I would like to thank my friends, followers, and well-wishers for being a part of my life and tolerating me for all these years.
M. Adil has an engineering degree in computer science. He likes well-crafted iOS applications. He has a very good understanding of the Objective-C and Swift programming languages and the iOS SDK. He has been working on iOS since 2009. Currently, Adil is working as a principal software engineer at Appifytech (www.appifytech.com). You can also contact him at www.itsaboutcode.com, his personal website.
I would like to thank my wife, Bushra, for being next to me and encouraging me in my adventures.
Peter Ahlgren is a professional freelancing web and app developer from Sweden. He has been freelancing since 2000, and has worked with clients such as Disney, Warner Bros, the Swedish Cancer and Allergy Fund, and many more.
Peter has a firm of his own, BrainLab, and mostly works on frontend web development and iOS app development. He has also worked on a few Swedish books on web development. You can visit his website at http://peterahlgren.com.
Marco Amador is a husband and a father of two beautiful daughters, and has more than 20 years of experience in the software industry. He is an experienced software engineer who has worked in several mission-critical systems, developing highly available and scalable software using mainly Java/JEE technologies.
Lately, Marco has been involved in IoT, Big Data, and Cloud technologies. He is also the co-founder and currently the chief technology officer of Maisis Information Systems.
Julien Lange is a 34-year-old expert in software engineering. He started developing on an Amstrad CPC464 with the BASIC language when he was 7. He later learned Visual Basic 3/4, then VB.NET, and then C#. For several years until the end of his education, he developed and maintained several e-business websites based on PHP and ASP.NET. After his graduation, Julien continued to learn more and more about software, which included software architecture and project management, and always tried to acquire new skills. Since 2011, he has been working as an IT project manager on the lead management middleware of Axa France (a French insurance company). This middleware is based on SOA architecture. As it is used by the frontend exposed on the Internet, performance is the top priority each time he delivers a new release of the system. Scalability and robustness are really important in his everyday work.
Julien first developed an interest in mobile development in 2009. After discovering the massive potential of iPhone games and software, he decided to find an improved game engine, which would allow him to concentrate only on the main purpose of a game: developing the game itself and not a game engine. His choice was Unity 3D, thanks to its compatibility with C# and its high frame rate on the iPhone. In addition to his main work as an IT consultant, he created www.iXGaminG.com in December 2010.
Julien currently has several projects in mind, including a game based on a French board game, and a website that delivers new services to developers. He is searching for a few partners to work with. In addition to this, and after reviewing three books by Packt Publishing, he has now decided to write a new book for them. It will be about applying design patterns with Swift to build robust and scalable applications.
