What You Will Learn Write high-quality and easy-to-maintain reusable object-oriented code to build applications for iOS, macOS, and Linux Work with encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism using Swift 3.0 Work with classes, instances, properties, and methods in Swift 3.0 Take advantage of inheritance, specialization, and the possibility to overload or override members Implement encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism Explore functional programming techniques mixed with object-oriented code in Swift 3.0 Understand the differences between Swift 3.0, previous Swift versions, and Objective-C code In Detail Swift has quickly become one of the most-liked languages and developers' de-facto choice when building applications that target iOS and macOS. In the new version, the Swift team wants to take its adoption to the next level by making it available for new platforms and audiences. This book introduces the object-oriented paradigm and its implementation in the Swift 3 programming language to help you understand how real-world objects can become part of fundamental reusable elements in the code. This book is developed with XCode 8.x and covers all the enhancements included in Swift 3.0. In addition, we teach you to run most of the examples with the Swift REPL available on macOS and Linux, and with a Web-based Swift sandbox developed by IBM capable of running on any web browser, including Windows and mobile devices. You will organize data in blueprints that generate instances. You'll work with examples so you understand how to encapsulate and hide data by working with properties and access control. Then, you'll get to grips with complex scenarios where you use instances that belong to more than one blueprint. You'll discover the power of contract programming and parametric polymorphism. You'll combine generic code with inheritance and multiple inheritance. Later, you'll see how to combine functional programming with object-oriented programming and find out how to refactor your existing code for easy maintenance. Style and approach This simple guide is packed with practical examples of solutions to common problems. Each chapter includes exercises and the possibility for you to test your progress by answering a quiz

Embrace the Protocol-Oriented Programming paradigm, for better code maintainability and increased performance, with Swift programming. Key FeaturesLeverage the power of Protocol-Oriented Programming in your applications Leverage generics to create very flexible frameworksLearn how to implement common design patterns in a protocol-oriented wayBook Description Protocol-oriented programming is an incredibly powerful concept at the heart of Swift's design. Swift's standard library was developed using POP techniques, generics, and first-class value semantics; therefore, it is important for every Swift developer to understand these core concepts and take advantage of them. The fourth edition of this book is improved and updated to the latest version of the Swift programming language. This book will help you understand what protocol-oriented programming is all about and how it is different from other programming paradigms such as object-oriented programming. This book covers topics such as generics, Copy-On-Write, extensions, and of course protocols. It also demonstrates how to use protocol-oriented programming techniques via real-world use cases. By the end of this book, you will know how to use protocol-oriented programming techniques to build powerful and practical applications. What you will learnLearn the differences between object-oriented programming and protocol-oriented programmingUnderstand why value types should be prioritized over reference typesDelve into protocols, protocol inheritance, protocol composition, and protocol extensionsLearn how to implement COW (Copy-On-Write) within your custom value typesUnderstand how memory management works in Swift and how to avoid common pitfallsDesign applications by starting with the protocol rather than the implementationWho this book is for This book is intended for Swift developers who have, at minimum an introductory knowledge of the Swift programming language and would like to understand how they can use Protocol-Oriented Programming techniques in their applications.

About This Book Written for the latest version of Swift, this is a comprehensive guide that introduces iOS, Web and macOS developers to the all-new world of functional programming that has so far been alien to them Get familiar with using functional programming alongside existing OOP techniques so you can get the best of both worlds and develop clean, robust, and scalable code Develop a case study on example backend API with Swift and Vapor Framework and an iOS application with Functional Programming, Protocol-Oriented Programming, Functional Reactive Programming, and Object-Oriented Programming techniques Who This Book Is For Meant for a reader who knows object-oriented programming, has some experience with Objective-C/Swift programming languages and wants to further enhance his skills with functional programming techniques with Swift 3.x. What You Will Learn Understand what functional programming is and why it matters Understand custom operators, function composition, currying, recursion, and memoization Explore algebraic data types, pattern matching, generics, associated type protocols, and type erasure Get acquainted with higher-kinded types and higher-order functions using practical examples Get familiar with functional and non-functional ways to deal with optionals Make use of functional data structures such as semigroup, monoid, binary search tree, linked list, stack, and lazy list Understand the importance of immutability, copy constructors, and lenses Develop a backend API with Vapor Create an iOS app by combining FP, OOP, FRP, and POP paradigms In Detail Swift is a multi-paradigm programming language enabling you to tackle different problems in various ways. Understanding each paradigm and knowing when and how to utilize and combine them can lead to a better code base. Functional programming (FP) is an important paradigm that empowers us with declarative development and makes applications more suitable for testing, as well as performant and elegant. This book aims to simplify the FP paradigms, making them easily understandable and usable, by showing you how to solve many of your day-to-day development problems using Swift FP. It starts with the basics of FP, and you will go through all the core concepts of Swift and the building blocks of FP. You will also go through important aspects, such as function composition and currying, custom operator definition, monads, functors, applicative functors,memoization, lenses, algebraic data types, type erasure, functional data structures, functional reactive programming (FRP), and protocol-oriented programming(POP). You will then learn to combine those techniques to develop a fully functional iOS application from scratch Style and approach An easy-to-follow guide that is full of hands-on coding examples of real-world applications. Each topic is explained sequentially and placed in context, and for the more inquisitive, there are more details of the concepts used. It introduces the Swift language basics and functional programming techniques in simple, non-mathematical vocabulary with examples in Swift.
