Chapter 10. Exploring Swift on the Server
Unless you're making a really basic app, chances are that you will need some form of server backend to make your app really useful. Swift running on Linux is a big deal, especially with Linux's popularity for hosting and running servers. Swift 3 opens up possibilities for developers to create server-side applications using the same Swift that they use to create applications on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. By the end of this chapter, you will have a server-side app written completely in Swift that can run seamlessly on a Linux box.
