Swift is Apple's programming language for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS development. Designed for safety, performance, and modern software design patterns, it combines the best of C and Objective-C.
Key Concepts
Optionals and optional chaining
Protocol-oriented programming
Value semantics (structs by default)
Memory management with ARC
Swift Package Manager
Common Use Cases
iOS/macOS applications
Server-side development (Vapor)
Game development (SpriteKit)
Cross-platform with SwiftUI
System programming
Best Practices
Use structs over classes when possible
Leverage protocol extensions
Handle optionals safely
Use Swift Package Manager
Test with XCTest
