| Summary |
This book shows you how to create Mac and iPhone applications using Apple's new programming language. This code-intensive, practical guide walks you through Swift best practices as you learn the language, build an application, and refine it using advanced concepts and techniques. You'll learn everything you need to know to make the transition from Objective-C to Swift smooth and painless, so you can begin building faster, more secure apps. Topics include: getting acquainted with the Swift language and syntax; writing, deploying and debugging Swift programs; storing data and interface with web services; mastering advanced usage, and bridge Swift and Objective-C. -- Edited summary from book |
