When Apple announced Swift 2 at the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2015, they also declared that Swift was the world's first protocol-oriented programming language. From its name, we may assume that protocol-oriented programming is all about the protocol; however, this would be a wrong assumption. Protocol-oriented programming is about so much more than just the protocol; it is actually a new way of not only writing applications, but also how we think about programming.

In this chapter, you will learn:

What is protocol-oriented programming
How we can use protocol composition
