Swift Translation Guide for Objective-C Users

APPLE DESIGNED SWIFT SO YOU wouldn’t need previous Apple programming experience, but many Apple developers will want to take advantage of Swift in existing projects—as well as start writing projects from scratch. In this compact, to-the-point guide, author and iOS developer Maurice Kelly steps existing Objective-C developers through the basics of the Swift language—including types, syntax, variables, strings, and classes—and explores how to use Swift with existing projects and create new apps written completely in Swift.

If you are an Apple developer, this book will quickly give you a solid foundation for writing Swift apps.

THIS BOOK INCLUDES:

• Detailed instruction and clear examples
• Real-world guidance and advice
• Detailed directions for using Swift’s playgrounds to experiment with your code with a minimum of hassle
• Emphasis on the core components of the language
