Nima said Perfect book for game building. I absolutely love this book. It walks me through game development and let me digest the concepts and technics. I actually make new games and see ho my codes shape the game. Moreover, you will have some challenges at the end of each chapter so you can practice further what you have learnt.If you don't have any familiarity with Swift or Objective C, I advise you read and practice Swift for beginners before starting this book.
