Advanced Swift: Updated for Swift 3

A deep dive into Swift’s features,from low-level programming to high-level abstractions.
In this book,we’ll write about advanced concepts in Swift programming. If you have read the Swift Programming Guide,and want to explore more,this book is for you.
Swift is a great language for systems programming,but also lends itself for very high-level programming. We’ll explore both high-level topics (for example,programming with generics and protocols),as well as low-level topics (for example,wrapping a C library and string internals).
WHAT’S IN THE BOOK
Collections
How to use Swift’s built-in collection types and how to build your own.
Optionals
Improve the safety and clarity of your code.
Generics
Write functions and methods that work on multiple types.
Protocols
Use protocols to simplify your code.
Strings
How to use strings and how they work with unicode.
Mutability
Swift offers powerful features for dealing with mutability.
Memory Management
Learn how value types and reference types interact.
Error Handling
Understand Swift’s built-in error handling.
Interoperability
Wrap calls to C libraries and present them in Swift using a natural API.
