One of the major and most surprising announcements to come out of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference was the introduction of Swift, a new programming language for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Swift allows you to create native applications for iOS and OS X, and can be used in your existing projects alongside Objective-C. It promises increased performance and numerous modern features. Here is a brief guide for getting started developing iOS applications with Swift today. We will setup a development environment to work with Swift, look into the language fundamentals and compare the syntax side by side with Objective-C and other familiar languages such as JavaScript and C#. At the end of this post we will create a simple but complete iOS application using Swift. via Introduction to the Swift Programming Language.
