Swift Pocket Reference: Programming for Ios and OS X: Covers Swift 2.1

<div><p>Get quick answers for developing and debugging applications with Swift, Apple’s multi-paradigm programming language. Updated to cover the latest features in Swift 2.0, this pocket reference is the perfect on-the-job tool for learning Swift’s modern language features, including type safety, generics, type inference, closures, tuples, automatic memory management, and support for Unicode.</p><p>Designed to work with Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, Swift can be used in tandem with Objective-C, and either language can call APIs implemented in the other. Swift is still evolving, but Apple clearly sees it as the future language of choice for iOS and OS X software development.</p><p>Topics include:</p><ul><li>Supported data types, such as strings, arrays, array slices, sets, and dictionaries</li><li>Program flow: loops, conditional execution, and error handling</li><li>Classes, structures, enumerations, and functions</li><li>Protocols, extensions, and generics</li><li>Memory management</li><li>Closures: similar to blocks in Objective-C and lambdas in C#</li><li>Optionals: values that can explicitly have no value</li><li>Operators, operator overloading, and custom operators</li><li>Access control: restricting access to types, methods, and properties</li><li>Ranges, intervals, and strides</li><li>A full list of built-in global functions and their parameter requirements</li></ul></div>
