Overview of this book

Swift has become the number one language used in iOS and macOS development. The Swift standard library is developed using protocol-oriented programming techniques, generics, and first-class value semantics; therefore, every Swift developer should understand these powerful concepts and how to take advantage of them in their application design. This book will help you understand the differences between object-oriented programming and protocol-oriented programming. It will demonstrate how to work with protocol-oriented programming using real-world use cases. You will gain a solid knowledge of the various types that can be used in Swift and the differences between value and reference types. You will be taught how protocol-oriented programming techniques can be used to develop very flexible and easy-to-maintain code. By the end of the book, you will have a thorough understanding of protocol-oriented programming and how to utilize it to build powerful and practical applications.

Summary

While protocols themselves may not seem very exciting, they are actually quite powerful. As we saw in this chapter, we are able to use them to create very specific requirements. We can then use protocol inheritance and protocol composition to create protocol hierarchies. We also saw how to implement the delegation patterns with protocols.

We concluded the chapter by showing how we can model a robot with sensors using the protocol and how Apple uses protocols in the Swift standard library.

In Chapter 3, Extensions, we will see how we can use protocol extensions to add functionality to types that conform to a protocol but before we do that, let's look at our type choices.
