Course description
  • Learn Swift Programming Syntax
  • 3 weeks
  • From Optionals to Closure Expressions
  • This course focuses on the syntax of the Swift programming language. By the end of the course, students should be able to apply Swift essentials to building iOS apps and employ Swift’s more unique elements, like optional types and switch statements, with confidence.
  • Swift Basics
  • Optional Types
  • Swift Collections
  • Control Flow: Loops, If statements, and Switches
  • How to Write and Call Functions in Swift
  • Classes, Properties, and Methods
  • Enums and Structs
  • Protocols and Extensions
  • Closure Expressions
  • An introduction to Swift types and operators.
  • Develop deftness in defining variables and constants.
  • Practice what you’ve learned with exercises in Swift playgrounds.
  • Declare explicitly and implicitly unwrapped optionals.
  • Unwrap optionals using both optional binding and optional chaining.
  • Practice safely unwrapping optionals and learn to avoid errors.
  • Learn about the Swift Collection Types: Dictionaries, Arrays, and Sets.
  • Perform basic operations including: append, count, insert, remove, update, find, and retrieve.
  • Practice manipulating collections with exercises in Swift playgrounds.
  • Practice fast iteration with for-in loops by iterating through items in Arrays and Dictionaries.
  • Create programming logic of increasing complexity with if-else statements.
  • Delight in the convenience and conciseness of Swift switch statements.
  • Define and call functions.
  • Correctly use local and external parameters.
  • Identify parameter types and return types.
  • Practice building custom classes with their own properties and methods.
  • Learn about type properties and computed properties.
  • See example use cases for type methods and instance methods.
  • Learn the difference between value types and references types.
  • Practice choosing when to use enums, structs, and classes.
  • Use enums to make your switch statements extra Swifty.
  • Learn how protocols and extensions can help keep your code DRY.
  • This course assumes prior programming experience! Specifically, you should be familiar with programming concepts like variables, if statements, and loops, as well as object-oriented concepts like methods and classes.
  • You will also need access to a Mac computer running OS X 10.10 or later.
