This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Swift programming language, its powerful features, and its application in building high-performance iOS and macOS applications. By the end of this course, learners will be equipped to create robust apps for Apple platforms and understand Swift's role in the modern app development ecosystem.
Swift is general-purpose and modern. Suitable for everything from systems programming, through mobile and desktop apps, to cloud services.
Swift is safe. Undefined behavior is the enemy of safety, and it’s best to catch mistakes before software goes into production. Swift makes the obvious path the safest.
Swift is fast to run and quick to write. It comes with predictable and consistent performance that is on-par with C-based languages without sacrificing developer friendliness.
Swift is approachable and powerful. From a single-line “Hello, World!” to large-scale apps with hundreds of thousands of lines. Swift scales with your needs.
Java was created at Sun Microsystems, Inc., where James Gosling led a team of researchers in an effort to create a new language that would allow consumer electronic devices to communicate with each other. Work on the language began in 1991, and before long the team's focus changed to a new niche, the World Wide Web
he Java main method is usually the first method you learn about when you start programming in Java because its the entry point for executing a Java program. The main method can contain code to execute or call other methods, and it can be placed in any class that's part of a program.
Java offers high performance and scalability, suitable for large-scale applications. Continuous Evolution: Regular updates and a strong focus on security keep Java relevant and efficient.
Designed for ease of use:
Swift has a concise and readable syntax, with features like inferred types that make it easier to write code compared to older languages like Objective-C.
Safety features:
Swift incorporates mechanisms to prevent common programming errors, including automatic memory management, mandatory variable initialization, and checks for array index out-of-bounds access.
High performance:
Leveraging the LLVM compiler, Swift generates optimized machine code, resulting in fast and efficient applications.
Open source:
Apple has made Swift open source, allowing developers outside of the Apple ecosystem to contribute to its development and use it on other platforms.
Key features:
Optionals:A way to handle potentially missing values in a safe manner.
Closures: Functions that can be passed around as values.
Protocols: Define interfaces that different types can conform to
Generics:Create reusable code that can work with different types
Error handling:Robust system for handling errors during execution
