Summary

You've started doing a lot of hands-on coding in this chapter. First, you learned how to use the vapor new command to create a Hello World application from a boilerplate project. You moved on to add more routes to the application, and then used the commands vapor build and vapor run to build and run the application. Next, you did the same exercise with Kitura CLI; you used kitura init to construct a starter boilerplate, added the same routes as you did in Vapor, then used swift build and swift run commands to build and run your Kitura application. Overall, this is a good introductory chapter to some hands-on coding with Vapor and Kitura. In the next chapter, let's learn some good techniques for debugging and testing your server-side Swift projects.
