Swift by Tutorials

Learn Apple's new programming language, Swift, through hands-on tutorials that elevate your skills from beginner to master. This guide covers essential topics, starting with Language Basics such as variables, constants, types, strings, and collections to establish a solid foundation. You'll delve into Classes & Structs, where you'll create a full-featured iOS app, and explore Generics, enabling you to write reusable algorithms for various types. Functions and Closures are also covered, emphasizing their importance in coding, with closures being unnamed functions in Swift. The book introduces powerful enum types and Switch statements, crucial for unlocking their potential. You'll also learn about Functional Programming, a modern approach integrated into Swift. A significant portion of iOS development involves interfacing with Cocoa frameworks, and this guide illustrates how to work with Cocoa in Swift, including the use of bridging headers for Objective-C code. For those familiar with Objective-C, a comparison chapter helps you understand the differences and re-implement an Objective-C app in Swift. A Language Quick Reference is included for easy access while coding your own applications. The iOS Tutorial Team ensures high-quality, engaging tutorials that encourage deep understanding and practical application in your projects.
