Learn Swift ProgrammingApples Swift is a new programming language for iOS and OS X app development. It is a powerful and fast programming language that is easy to learn. Swift is a safe, fast, and interactive programming language that combines the best in modern language thinking with wisdom from the wider Apple ecosystem and the diverse contributions from its open source community.The book covers the followingChapter 1 Introduction to SwiftIntroduction to programming languagesOverview of SwiftSetting up the Swift development environmentBasics of Swift syntaxSwift playgrounds and interactive codingChapter 2 Variables and Data Types in SwiftUnderstanding variables and constants in
