Master the fundamentals of programming in Swift 4

Key Features
  • Covers theory and practice in equal parts
  • Teaches you how to correctly structure and architect software using Swift
  • Uses real-world examples to connect the theory to a professional setting
  • Imparts expertise in the core Swift standard library
Book Description

Take your first foray into programming for Apple devices with Swift.

Swift is fundamentally different from Objective-C, as it is a protocol-oriented language. While you can still write normal object-oriented code in Swift, it requires a new way of thinking to take advantage of its powerful features and a solid understanding of the basics to become productive.

This course helps you develop client-side and server-side applications, as well as web services using Swift. Well begin with exploring the fundamental Swift programming concepts, language structure, and the Swift programming syntax. Then, well learn to create original custom operators with Swift operators, branching, and loops.

Moving on, well learn how to run application codes and compile errors. Having made progress with it, well see how Swift compares to other computer languages and how to transform your thinking. Then, master the usage of key language elements, such as strings and collections. Finally, grasp how Swift supports modern application development using advanced features, such as built-in Unicode support and higher-order functions.

This is an introductory course to the Swift programming language with Xcode.After completing this course, students will be well-prepared to begin developing native end-user applications for iOS or macOS, or to develop server-side (back-end) application and web services using Swift on Linux.

What you will learn
  • Explore the fundamental Swift programming concepts, language structure, and the Swift programming syntax
  • Learn how Swift compares to other computer languages and how to transform your thinking to leverage new concepts such as optionals and protocols
  • Master how to use key language elements, such as strings and collections
  • Grasp how Swift supports modern application development using advanced features, such as built-in Unicode support and higher-order functions.
Who This Book Is For

If you are seeking fundamental Swift programming skills, in preparation for learning to develop native applications for iOS or macOS, this book is the best for you. You dont need to have any prior Swift knowledge; however, object-oriented programming experience is desired.

Preface

Swift is a multi-paradigm language. It has expressive features familiar to those used to working with modern functional languages, whilst also keeping the object-oriented features of Objective-C. Swift vastly streamlines the developer experience, and Apple's Xcode playground is a real game-changer.

The book begins by teaching you the basic syntax and structure of Swift, and how to correctly structure and architect software using Swift. It then builds expertise in the core Swift standard library you will need to understand to complete real-world Swift programming projects. We will work through concepts such as operators, branching and loop structures, functions, classes, structs, collections, and strings. We end the book with a brief look at functional programming and lazy operations.

After reading and understanding this book, you will be well-prepared to begin developing native end-user applications for iOS or macOS, or to develop server-side (backend) application and web services using Swift on Linux.

What This Book Covers

, Swift Basics , covers the fundamentals of using the Swift programming language. In this lesson, you'll learn basic Swift syntax and program structure. You'll also learn how to use Swift built-in data types and enums, and how to declare and use Swift variables and constants.

, Swift Operators and Control Flow , shows you how to use the fundamental flow control structures and language elements that form the building blocks of Swift programs. We will specifically cover operators, branching statements, and loops in this lesson.

, Functions, Classes, and Structs , teaches you how to develop fully featured Swift functions, catch unexpected errors, and use asynchronous programming paradigms. You'll learn how to create your own data types, and create object-oriented applications using classes and structs.

, Collections , shows you how to work with Swift's collections, such as arrays, sets, and dictionaries.

, Strings , covers Swift strings in detail. We will create and use strings and substrings, and see the various common operations available for strings.

, Functional Programming and Lazy Operations , ventures at functional programming and explains what lazy operations are. We will end this lesson with an important but often overlooked topicwriting Swifty code.
