Pro Swift is a book and video tutorial course from the author of Hacking with Swift, and aims to help you learn powerful Swift techniques that will enable you to write code faster and more efficiently.

Your purchase includes the complete book as well as over 70 videos that demonstrate techniques hands-on – functional programming, variadic functions, closures, and error handling are all carefully explained.

About Pro Swift

I wrote Hacking with Swift to teach app development in a highly practical way: you learn while you code, and you always learn new techniques in a real-world context so you can see exactly how they are applied. Well, Pro Swift is no different: I've structured the course so you learn powerful, expressive Swift syntax that you can immediately start using in your own projects.

As well as the complete book – in PDF, ePub, and HTML – you'll also get a comprehensive set of videos that walk you through every technique so you can follow along in Xcode.

What's in the course?

• Object-oriented Swift: inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation
• Protocol-oriented Swift and how it differs from OOP
• Functional programming user filter, map, flatMap, and reduce
• Pro pattern matching using "for case let" and switch blocks
• Understanding how lazy vars can boost your performance
• When it's best to use reference types and value types
• How to apply generics to your own code
• Mastering enums and associated values
• How to write smart inner classes and functions
• Variadic functions and tuple destructuring
• Operator overloading
• Handling exceptions gracefully: try vs try! vs try?, and typed throws
• Sets, subsets, and unions
• The elusive @autoclosure keyword
• Adding documentation markup to your code
• And much more!

Got questions?

• This book is for Swift developers with at least a few months of experience. You don't need to have read Hacking with Swift to follow this course, but it would help.
• Neither the book or the videos have any DRM attached.
• The course focuses on the Swift language, so it is equally useful for macOS developers as it is for iOS developers.
