Swift Protocol-Oriented Programming - Fourth Edition

By: Jon Hoffman

Overview of this book

Protocol-oriented programming is an incredibly powerful concept at the heart of Swift's design. Swift's standard library was developed using POP techniques, generics, and first-class value semantics; therefore, it is important for every Swift developer to understand these core concepts and take advantage of them. The fourth edition of this book is improved and updated to the latest version of the Swift programming language. This book will help you understand what protocol-oriented programming is all about and how it is different from other programming paradigms such as object-oriented programming. This book covers topics such as generics, Copy-On-Write, extensions, and of course protocols. It also demonstrates how to use protocol-oriented programming techniques via real-world use cases. By the end of this book, you will know how to use protocol-oriented programming techniques to build powerful and practical applications.

Who this book is for

This book is intended for the developer who has at least an introductory knowledge of the Swift programming language and wants to understand what protocol-oriented programming is. This book is written for the developer who not only wants to understand protocol-oriented programming but also wants to fully understand the different components of the programming paradigm. This book is written for the developer who learns best by looking at and working with code, because every concept covered in the book is backed by example code written to give you a solid understanding of the current topic and to demonstrate how to properly implement it.
