About the Book

Have you ever pushed your iOS or macOS app to the limits of performance-only to realize you've barely scratched the surface of what Apple's hardware can truly do? What if your app could render stunning 3D visuals, process real-time data at lightning speeds, and harness the full power of Apple Silicon-all from one unified graphics and compute API? Welcome to Metal-Apple's elite, low-level framework for blazing-fast GPU programming. But wait... have you been avoiding it? Maybe you've heard it's complex. Maybe you've stuck with OpenGL, SceneKit, or relied on frameworks that feel safe, familiar. But deep down, you know you want more control. More speed. More beauty. So ask yourself: Are you tired of hitting performance ceilings with traditional APIs? Do you wish you could write GPU-powered code that's both elegant and maintainable? Have you wondered how pro developers build the kind of apps that feel "impossibly responsive"? This book was written exactly for developers like you. Co-authors Brian Elias and Riley Knox aren't just engineers-they're explorers of the GPU frontier. And they're taking you with them. Through real-world examples, powerful architectural insights, and practical advice born of countless hours spent in Xcode's GPU debugger, you'll discover how to wield Metal like a master artisan. But this isn't just another programming manual. It's a conversation-a collaboration-between you and two developers who have been in the trenches. We ask the hard questions, so you can build the right answers: Why do most developers misuse command queues-and what does optimal GPU synchronization really look like? What's the secret to managing assets across iOS, macOS, and visionOS without duplicating code? How do you profile your shaders so they sing rather than stutter? What makes a Metal app "App Store ready"-and what's guaranteed to get your build rejected? And most importantly... how do you future-proof your Metal code for what's coming next from Apple? You'll dive deep into: Building modern rendering pipelines from scratch Integrating Metal with SwiftUI, ARKit, RealityKit, Core ML, and SceneKit Writing custom shading language (MSL) that compiles fast and runs faster Debugging, profiling, and optimizing across multiple Apple platforms Creating immersive experiences for Vision Pro and spatial computing environments And no-you don't need to be a graphics guru to follow along. You just need curiosity, determination, and the desire to unlock what's truly possible on Apple devices. So, are you ready to go beyond UIKit and push pixels like a pro? Are you ready to build what the future demands-not just what the past supports? Then grab your copy of Metal for Apple Developers and start crafting apps that aren't just functional-they're phenomenal.
