[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22394477-the-swift-programming-language):
|
|
|
|
|
Swift is a new programming language for creating iOS and OS X apps. Swift
|
|
|
|
|
builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility. Swift adopts safe programming patterns and adds modern features
|
|
|
|
|
to make programming easier, more flexible, and more fun. Swift’s clean slate,
|
|
|
|
|
backed by the mature and much-loved Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks, is an
|
|
|
|
|
opportunity to reimagine how software development works.

Let's skip the language itself for a moment and focus on the writing of the
|
|
|
|
|
book.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The interesting bit is the first 20-or-so pages. It starts with a very simple,
|
|
|
|
|
very succinct explanation of the language, so if you any programming language,
|
|
|
|
|
you can just start writing Swift code picking the pointers in those pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, the real content starts: It goes very deep, explaining every point in
|
|
|
|
|
great detail, with expanding examples that start very simple at the start of
|
|
|
|
|
the chapter and then go increasingly going complex to explain each point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Really interesting way to explain a language.
