Chapter 1. Introducing the Swift Programming Language

At WWDC 2014, Apple introduced a brand new programming language called Swift. The Swift programming language brings concise syntax, type safety, and modern programming language features to Mac and iOS developers.

Since its release, the Apple developer community has responded with great excitement, and developers are rapidly starting to adopt this new language within their own applications. The Swift language is the future of developing on Apple's platforms.

This chapter includes the following topics:

  • Learning how to register as an Apple developer
  • Learning how to download and install Xcode development tools
  • Introduction to the Swift programming language
  • Learning how to work with Xcode playgrounds
  • Introduction to the newest additions in Swift 2.0
