The document introduces Swift, a new programming language developed by Apple. It outlines the basic syntax of Swift, including variables, constants, functions and method calls. Playgrounds are discussed as an interactive way to run and see results in Swift without compilation overhead. Advantages of Swift are listed as strong typing, simpler syntax than Objective-C and fewer lines of code, while disadvantages include it being a new language with few resources currently. A demonstration of a simple Swift app is promised and the presentation closes by questioning if the company Savvycom is ready to adopt Swift.

3. 1. Introduction to Swift
An object-oriented and
compiled programming
language
A “fast, modern, safe,
interactive” programming
language.
Developed by Chris
Lattner in 2010
First introduced at
Apple’s 2014 Worldwide
Developer Conference.
Current version: Swift 2.0.

4. 2. Basic syntax
 Variables, Constants

5. 2. Basic syntax
 Smart type inference and no semicolons
* In Objective-C:
* In Swift:

6. 2. Basic syntax

8. 3. Playground in Swift
Print the actual result immediately without the
overheads of complication.

9. 4. Advantages and disadvantages of Swift
Advantage
 Strong typing.
 More simple syntax than
Objective-C.
 Fewer lines of code than
Objective-C.
 Faster than Objective-C.
Disadvantage
ˣ Too young.
ˣ Resources is quite little.
ˣ Developers have to start
with new things.
ˣ Make Apple application
environment slower.

10. 5. Demonstration
A simple application created by Swift programming
language.

11. 6. Is Savvycom ready for Swift?
How about current projects?
How about upcoming projects?
How much time do we need?
