Swift Pocket Reference

Swift Pocket Reference, 9781491915424 (1491915420), O'Reilly, 2014

Get quick answers for developing and debugging applications with Swift, Apple’s multi-paradigm programming language. This pocket reference is the perfect on-the-job tool for learning Swift’s modern language features, including type safety, generics, type inference, closures, tuples, automatic memory management, and support for Unicode.

Designed to work with Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, Swift can be used in tandem with Objective-C, and either of these languages can call APIs implemented in the other. Swift is still evolving, but it’s clear that Apple sees it as the future language of choice for iOS and OS X software development.

Topics include:

Swift’s Run-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) and interactive playgrounds
Supported data types, such as strings, arrays, and dictionaries
Variables and constants
Program flow: loops and conditional execution
Classes, structures, enumerations, functions, and protocols
Closures: similar to blocks in Objective-C and lambdas in C#
Optionals: values that can explicitly have no value
Operators, operator overloading, and custom operators
Access control: restricting access to types, methods, and properties
Built-in global functions and their parameter requirements

Pro IronPython

Apress, 2009

I come from a background of static typing and rigid languages: C, C++, C#. I’m seeing more than one trend at work here.

Then Python walked through the door.
