Overview of this book

Take your first foray into programming for Apple devices with Swift.Swift is fundamentally different from Objective-C, as it is a protocol-oriented language. While you can still write normal object-oriented code in Swift, it requires a new way of thinking to take advantage of its powerful features and a solid understanding of the basics to become productive.

Summary


In this lesson, we learned about strings in Swift, how they are and why, and how to use them. We learned about string indices, substrings, and some things to look out for when using strings with the Foundation framework. And we added some useful extensions to String.

In the next lesson, we will take a brief look at functional programming and explore lazy operations.
