Welcome

(chimes) - Welcome. This is SWIFT Essential Training. I'm Simon Allardice. SWIFT is Apples new programming language for creating IOS and Mac applications. It's the first time we've had a real alternative to the older Objective-C language, which a lot of developers found challenging or unintuitive. In this course, we're going to begin by getting the necessary tools, which is simply the latest version of Xcode, and jump immediately into the core syntax. Working with variables, data times, program flow, functions, even in that simple code, we'll start to encounter some very specific ideas that Swift is build on. At the same time, we'll be exploring Xcode 6 using a new feature of Xcode playgrounds. To instantly see the results of the code we write, without explicitly compiling or even running that code. Now, Swift is an object orientated language, so, we'll cover how to define our own classes creating objects with methods and properties. We'll talk about modern language features that were never able to be part of Objective-C, like, (tuple's), and optional's, and go all the way into more advanced topics including, generics, protocols, and extensions. Through all of this, we'll stay aware of the best practices all ready developing around Swift and ways to make it memorable. So, it's natural to write. If you've been meaning to get started with IOS or Mac development, you just never got around to it, well now is the perfect time to start. Swift is the perfect language to start with. If you've all ready spent some time in this world, you'll find you'll be able to take the concepts and ideas that you all ready know, you just know have a clearer and more focused language to use them with. Even if you've been working in Objective-C for years, there were just things about it you never enjoyed, you're going to love Swift. Let's get started.
