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 90 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, Mobi and HTML – you'll also get a comprehensive set of videos that walk you through every technique so you can follow along in Xcode.

All code comes fully ready for Swift 5.0.





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
