Description

Description
An in-depth course on advanced Swift programming and writing highly performant, elegant, and readable code.

Swift 2 is a multi-paradigm programming language that has expressive features familiar to modern functional languages, and does not forget the object-oriented features of Objective-C. Things that took a block of code in Objective-C are reduced to one or two lines in Swift. Swift is said to be safer, faster, and easier to understand, and has the energy of Apple and the open source community behind it.

This course takes you on a journey through a wide array of topics that are crucial to writing top-level Swift code. You will get an in-depth view of various core topics such as advanced language features, memory management, interoperability, concurrency, advanced debugging, algorithms, and performance optimizations. Last but not least, we’ll also explore Swift design patterns.

We’ll start by discussing the uniqueness of Swift, what’s new, and what’s to come. Then we take a look at fast-paced deconstructions of advanced language features such as extensions, generics, protocols, and more. Next we’ll focus on memory management as you learn how to measure and address our applications’ memory usage.

Soon we’ll dive into opening Swift up to Objective-C, C, and even C++ code and speeding up development by leveraging third-party frameworks. We will then move on to asynchronous programming and concurrency and you’ll see how to process multiple tasks simultaneously.

You’ll discover how to debug your applications more effectively, which is one of the key components to becoming a faster developer. As the journey comes to an end, we will take a look at compiler optimizations, performance measurements, and algorithms and complexity. Finally, you’ll explore specific design patterns can address common programming problems.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
