13. Swift
Swift is an innovative new programming language for
Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Writing code is interactive and
fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and apps run
lightning-fast. Swift is ready for your next iOS and OS X
project or for addition into your current app because
Swift code works side-by-side with Objective-C.

14. Swift
Swift is designed to provide seamless compatibility with Cocoa and Objective-
C. You can use Objective-C APIs (ranging from system frameworks to your
own custom code) in Swift, and you can use Swift APIs in Objective-C
Interoperability lets you interface between Swift and Objective-C code,
allowing you to use Swift classes in Objective-C and to take advantage of
familiar Cocoa classes, patterns, and practices when writing Swift code.
Mix and match allows you to create mixed-language apps containing both
Swift and Objective-C files that can communicate with each other.

15. Swift
So, dont freak out
Our apps wont change drastically just yet -- we can keep
using Objective-C. Swift will likely be used for shorthand,
optimizing performance, and supporting future frameworks.

16. Swift - Features
Closures unified with function pointers
Tuples and multiple return values
Generics
Fast and concise iteration over a range or collection
Structs that support methods, extensions, protocols.
Functional programming patterns, e.g.: map and filter
Inferred types make code cleaner and less prone to mistakes
Memory is managed automatically (ARC)
You dont need semi-colons
All the information about a particular class resides in a single
.swift file -- no longer separate header & implementation files.

17. Swift - Interactive Playgrounds
Playgrounds make writing Swift code incredibly simple and fun
Type a line of code and the result appears immediately.

18. Swift - Values
Three-character keywords define a variable (var) or constant (let).
var myVariable = 42
myVariable = 50
let myConstant = 42
Compiler inferred types
let implicitInteger = 70
let implicitDouble = 70.0
let explicitDouble: Double = 70
Simple ways to include values in strings
let apples = 3
let appleSummary = "I have (apples) apples."
Optionals -- a value either contains a value or contains nil -- question marks (?) mark optionals.
var optionalName: String? = "John Appleseed"
