Master the fundamentals of programming in Swift 4

About This Video

  • 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

In Detail

We’ll begin with exploring the fundamental Swift programming concepts, language structure, and the Swift programming syntax. Then, we'll learn to create original custom operators with Swift operators, branching, and loops.

Moving on, we'll learn how to run application codes and compile errors. Having made progress with it, we’ll 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.

No prior Swift knowledge is required for this book, however some prior exposure to another object-oriented programming language will be beneficial.
