Build Swift

Swift is a modern and intuitive programming language that ranks among the top programming languages for mobile app development. 

Originally developed by Apple, Swift is now the recommended programming language for developing apps for all Apple platforms including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. If you plan to write an app for an Apple device, you will need to learn to program in Swift.

In this course, you will cover topics ranging from basic data types, constants and variables, arrays, dictionaries, object-oriented programming, logic and control flow, file and file system management, and error handling.

On completion of this course, you will have sufficient foundational knowledge of Swift programming to begin learning other areas of Apple-based app development such as SwiftUI.

Swift Programming for Mobile App Development

Swift provides extensive support for developing object-oriented applications. The subject area of object-oriented programming is, however, large. It is not an exaggeration to state that entire books have been dedicated to the subject. As such, a detailed overview of object-oriented software development is beyond the scope of this course. Instead, we will introduce the basic concepts involved in object-oriented programming and then we will move on to explaining the concept as it relates to Swift application development.


Get up to speed in this lesson on object-oriented programming in Swift with details on how to declare classes, methods, and properties. The topics covered also include adding methods and properties to a class and the creation, initialization, and de-initialization of class instances.
