APPLE DESIGNED SWIFT SO YOU wouldn't need previous Apple programming experience, but many Apple developers will want to take advantage of Swift in existing projects-as well as start writing projects from scratch. In this compact, to-the-point guide, author and iOS developer Maurice Kelly steps existing Objective-C developers through the basics of the Swift language-including types, syntax, variables, strings, and classes-and explores how to use Swift with existing projects and create new apps written completely in Swift.If you are an Apple developer, this book will quickly give you a solid foundation for writing Swift apps.THIS BOOK INCLUDES:Detailed instruction and clear examplesReal-world guidance and adviceDetailed directions for using Swift's playgrounds to experiment with your code with a minimum of hassleEmphasis on the core components of the languageCOMPANION WEBSITE:http://swift-translation.guide/ includes additional resources.

MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS takes an applications-based approach at teaching students to apply previously learned engineering principles while laying a foundation for engineering design. This text provides a brief review of the principles of dynamics so that terminology and notation are consistent and applies these principles to derive mathematical models of dynamic mechanical systems. The methods of application of these principles are consistent with popular Dynamics texts. Numerous pedagogical features have been included in the text in order to aid the student with comprehension and retention. These include the development of three benchmark problems which are revisited in each chapter, creating a coherent chain linking all chapters in the book. Also included are learning outcomes, summaries of key concepts including important equations and formulae, fully solved examples with an emphasis on real world examples, as well as an extensive exercise set including objective-type questions.
