Swift Fundamentals for iOS Developers

1 days
IosToSwift - Version:2
Description
Swift is Apple's new programming language for iOS and OS X, which builds upon functional and generic languages and interoperates with Objective-C. In this one-day course you will make the transition from Objective-C to Swift while learning about Swift's syntax in detail, including closures, protocols, extensions, optional types, and many other topics. We will also discuss interoperability between Swift and Objective-C, including within the same project. The course is accompanied by multiple hands-on labs, in which you will experiment with Swift syntax and learn to use the language in the most effective manner. Prior experience with Objective-C development for either iOS or OS X is required.
Intended audience
IOS/OS X developers who want to learn developing with Swift.
