Overview of this book

The ability to use SQLite with iOS provides a great opportunity to build amazing apps. Apple's iOS SDK provides native support for SQLite databases. This combination offers the potential to create powerful, data-persistent applications. This book starts with the architecture of SQLite database and introduces you to concepts in SQL . You will find yourself equipped to design your own database system, administer it, and maintain it. Further, you will learn how to operate your SQLite databases smoothly using SQL commands. You will be able to extend the functionality of SQLite by using its vast arsenal of C API calls to build some interesting, exciting, new, and intelligent data-driven applications. Understand how Xcode, HTML5, and Phonegap can be used to build a cross-platform modern app which can benefit from all these technologies - all through creating a complete, customizable application skeleton that you can build on for your own apps.

Chapter 6. Using Swift with iOS and SQLite

In this chapter, you will look at using the new programming language from Apple called Swift. It is a new language created by Apple and has very powerful features to perform a variety of tasks and is now open source. Apple released it, and it has grown so fast that in the months and years to come, it will be the de facto standard for coding using Apple devices. You will see how Swift works with iOS, Xcode, and SQLite.

It has been an extraordinary journey since Swift was announced at the WWDC 2014 in San Francisco. In 2015, Apple announced that Swift would be open source. The language itself allows you to write high-level code and even low-level code with ease. It is a culmination of languages, such as Python, C, and Objective-C, making it faster and easier, and it's available on a number of platforms.

Can you imagine what is going to happen in the next few years? Design patterns and skills are developing at a fast rate...
