While the first publication of the Gang of Four's Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software was released in October 1994, I have only been paying attention to design patterns for the past nine or ten years. Similar to most experienced developers, when I first started reading about design patterns, I recognized a lot of them because I had already been using them without realizing what they were. I would have to say that in the past nine or ten years, since I first read about design patterns, I have not written a serious application without using at least one of the Gang of Four's design patterns. I will tell you that I am definitely not a design pattern zealot, and if I get into a conversation about design patterns, there are usually only a couple of them that I can name without having to look them up. However, what I do remember are the concepts behind the major patterns and the problems they are designed to solve. This way...

Overview of this book
Swift is a modern, fast, and safe programming language created by Apple. Writing Swift is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and the code runs lightning-fast. Swift’s move to open source has been embraced with open arms and has seen increased adoption in the Linux platform.
Our book will introduce you to the Swift language, further delving into all the key concepts you need to create applications for desktop, server, and embedded Linux platforms. We will teach you the best practices to design an application with Swift 3 via design patterns and Protocol-Oriented Programming.
Further on, you will learn how to catch and respond to errors within your application. When you have gained a strong knowledge of using Swift in Linux, we’ll show you how to build IoT and robotic projects using Swift on single board computers. By the end of the book, you will have a solid understanding of the Swift Language with Linux and will be able to create your own applications with ease.
