I've read Apple's publications "The Swift Programming Langauge" and "Using Swift with Cocoa and Objective-C."

I have no clue where to start programming in Xcode. The books did a great job explaining the language but not implementing it as if creating an app.

I open up Xcode and am clueless of where to begin programming.

Also, I do not even know what frameworks/objects/APIs to use, where to find them, nor where to implement them.

I feel as though I know the language but do not know how to use it in the context of building an app.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

I would start with the documentation under Getting Started in the iOS Developer Library: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/navigation/

There are a couple of tutorials there that walk you through all the steps of building an app. Some might not yet be updated for Xcode 7 / Swift 2 but there are lots of resources there.

Take the Lister example app and modify some of its behavior, write some unit tests.

If you haven't gone thru them already, what may serve you best at this juncture may wll be the iOS Human Interface Guidelines...
