If you want to get right into iOS app development while learning bits of the Swift language as you go, we recommend you read through The iOS Apprentice, 5th Edition. The iOS Apprentice and this book make very good companions — you can read them in parallel, or use this book as a reference to expand on topics you read about in The iOS Apprentice.
