Beginning Swift

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.
