Introduction to Swift

Instructor-Led 18 Agenda

Description

From Playgrounds to protocols—discover, explore, and demonstrate how to use the fundamental building blocks of the Swift programming language. This 2-day, hands-on course teaches you the basic concepts of Swift programming, including syntax, logic, structures, functions, and patterns. It also includes detailed explanations of language syntax and coding exercises

Lesson Id	Title	Description
1	Introduction to Swift and Playgrounds	Learn about the origin of Swift and some of its basic syntax
2	Constants, Variables, and Data Types	Learn how to define constants for values that don’t change and variables for values that do. Learn the data types that are included in Swift and how they can help you write better code
3	Operators	Learn about some of the operators in the Swift language, including basic math operators.
4	Control Flow	Learn how to use logical operators in Swift to check conditions; learn how to use control flow statements.
5	Strings	Learn how to create and store text using the string type. You'll learn a variety of string methods that allow you to compare two strings, access specific characters within a string, and insert and remove values
6	Functions	Learn how to declare functions with different parameters and return types
7	Structures	Learn how to create structures in Swift.
8	Classes	Learn what makes classes different from structures and when to use classes instead of structures. Also learn about inheritance, superclasses, and subclasses.
9	Optionals	Learn to use “optionals” to properly handle situations when data may or may not exist
10	Collections	Learn about the various collection types available in Swift and how to choose the appropriate one for your program.
11	Loops	Learn how to create loops in Swift, control the conditions for looping, and specify when to stop.
12	Type Casting	Learn why some data can be expressed using only a broader type, and how you can test for specific kinds of data before using it.
13	Guard	Learn to use guard statements to better manage control flow.
14	Scope	Learn to write nicely structured code that's easy to read. You'll do this by properly scoping your constants and variables
15	Enumerations	Learn when enumerations are commonly used, how to define an enumeration, and how to work with enumerations using switch statements.
16	Protocols	Learn what protocols are, when to use them, and how to write your own. Learn how to enable objects to communicate with each other and how to extend protocols to provide shared functionality across multiple types
17	Closures	Learn about closures, how to define them, how to use them as function arguments, and how to use some of the common functions that take closures as arguments.
18	Extensions	Learn how to define an extension, as well as how and why to use extensions.
