Key benefits

  • Leverage the power of protocol-oriented programming in your applications and learn from real-world use cases
  • Create a flexible code base with protocols and protocol extensions
  • Leverage the power of generics in Swift 4 to create very flexible frameworks

Description

Swift has become the number one language used in iOS and macOS development. The Swift standard library is developed using protocol-oriented programming techniques, generics, and first-class value semantics; therefore, every Swift developer should understand these powerful concepts and how to take advantage of them in their application design. This book will help you understand the differences between object-oriented programming and protocol-oriented programming. It will demonstrate how to work with protocol-oriented programming using real-world use cases. You will gain a solid knowledge of the various types that can be used in Swift and the differences between value and reference types. You will be taught how protocol-oriented programming techniques can be used to develop very flexible and easy-to-maintain code. By the end of the book, you will have a thorough understanding of protocol-oriented programming and how to utilize it to build powerful and practical applications.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Swift developers who want to learn and implement protocol-oriented programming in their real-world applications..

What you will learn

  • Understand the differences between object-oriented programming and protocol-oriented programming
  • Explore the different types that Swift offers and what pitfalls to avoid
  • Delve into generics and generic programming
  • Learn how to implement Copy-On-Write within your custom types

In general, I’ve found packt books to be hit-or-mostly-miss, with sloppy writing, editing, and spotty content. I was fairly inclined to give this book a pass due to the negative review I saw below, but looking at the preview goaded me into purchase. Thank goodness for the preview, eh?As a background, I’m far from a beginner. Been coding for almost thirty years, and cut my teeth on the first c++ compiler. Jon’s book has been an excellent accelerator for my understanding of the differences between the strict object-oriented design and the protocol-oriented swift model. It does deal mostly with abstractions, true, but the kinds of abstractions that matter most when confronting the design of complex software. Cookbooks and code samples don’t matter that much when you’re trying to break new ground.Jon references the Gang of Four, which is key to understanding the value of his book. While his book certainly isn’t at that level of abstraction, it is in the same frame of mind: how to think about your design, rather than your code.
