Introduction to Swift 2 with Xcode 7

Learn the fundamentals of Swift programming with this comprehensive course! This course provides a solid foundation in Swift 2, the powerful language for building applications on iPhone, iPad, and macOS. You'll gain hands-on experience using Xcode, Apple's integrated development environment, and write practical Swift programs.

This course is designed to prepare you for developing full-fledged applications for Apple's ecosystem. With over 5 hours of video demonstrations and numerous source code examples, you'll master key Swift concepts.

The curriculum is structured into six units:

• Unit 1: Xcode Interface: Explore the various components of the Xcode IDE and learn how to navigate and utilize them effectively.
• Unit 2: Swift Types: Understand variables and constants, and delve into fundamental data types in Swift. A detailed exploration of optionals is included.
• Unit 3: Collections & Control Structures: Learn to work with arrays, sets, and dictionaries for organizing data. Master loops and decision constructs to control program flow in Swift.
• Unit 4: Functions: Begin with understanding value types and reference types. Master Swift function syntax, essential for object-oriented programming. Explore the power of closures and learn when and how to apply them.
• Unit 5: Enumerations: Discover the advanced capabilities of Swift enumerations. Learn how they can contain methods and have underlying values, no values, or different values for each member.
• Unit 6: Structures & Classes: Understand the use of structures and classes in Swift, including defining both properties and methods. Focus on property syntax, covering stored properties, computed properties, property observers, lazy properties, and static properties. The course concludes with a demonstration of inheritance.

Each unit includes complete source code and exercises (with answers) to reinforce your learning and test your understanding of Swift programming. Start your journey to becoming a proficient Swift developer today!
