Before this book, I thought Sketch was a drawing/doodling app on the Mac. Reading this book, I realized it was to design UIs. Good start, easy to read. Good for someone like me, new to Sketch. Recommended.

This was a great read. I already considered myself well versed in Sketch, but this book showed me there is always something more to learn. The way Daniel breaks down the different sections, from symbols to shortcuts to plugins made it much more clear to me what they are for, how to use them to speed up my workflow & why to use them. Thank you Daniel for such a good introduction to sketch, I hope this book stays updated with the new features Sketch brings out every so often.

This book is a fine example of the Sitepoint editorial skills. I have been trying to learn Sketch for awhile now, having read lots of online material that go mumble this, use our plugin for free, mumble that. I skimmed through stopping at the parts familiar to me from remembering the interface. And in minutes, I had designed my first colorful brochure. Thev author gives a great discussion on symbols, that made the most sense, seemingly similar to ST3 Emmett shortcuts and its code completion snippets. I really would hate symbols being compared to objects unless we can make them act as such. I like this book and plan on getting a hard copy.
