App Development With Swift Associate

Course Description

Swift is the result of the latest research on programming languages, combined with decades of experience building Apple platforms. Named parameters are expressed in a clean syntax that makes APIs in Swift even easier to read and maintain. Even better, you don’t even need to type semi-colons. Inferred types make code cleaner and less prone to mistakes, while modules eliminate headers and provide namespaces. To best support international languages and emoji, strings are Unicode-correct and use a UTF-8-based encoding to optimize performance for a wide variety of use cases. Memory is managed automatically using tight, deterministic reference counting, keeping memory usage to a minimum without the overhead of garbage collection. You can even write concurrent code with simple, built-in keywords that define asynchronous behavior, making your code more readable and less error prone.

Swift has many other features to make your code more expressive:

• Generics that are powerful and simple to use;
• Protocol extensions that make writing generic code even easier;
• First-class functions and a lightweight closure syntax;
• Fast and concise iteration over a range or collection;
• Tuples and multiple return values;
• Structs that support methods, extensions, and protocols;
• Enums can have payloads and support pattern matching;
• Functional programming patterns, e.g., map and filter;
• Built-in error handling using try / catch / throw.
