Swift is a multi-paradigm compiled programming language developed by Apple for iOS and OS X mobile development. Swift is intended to be more concise and resilient to erroneous code than Objective-C. Swift is super user-friendly for beginners and it’s used to create mobile apps for iOS. Swift is used by high-value companies like Lyft, LinkedIn, Khan Academy, Yahoo, Strava, VSCO, and more. If you’re interested in becoming a Mobile App Developer, Swift is definitely a language you should learn. Find the best courses and bootcamps in Swift on Course Report.
Andrew, BloomTech’s iOS Swift Bootcamp lead says, “I think Swift is a great first programming language to learn, and that’s not a coincidence. When Apple was developing Swift, one of their goals was to be more approachable for beginners than Objective-C.”
A Swift coding boot camp will also teach you frameworks for Swift like UIKit, Foundation, MaKit, and Core Motion. However, you should also learn Objective-C because most older, more established apps still need developers to work on their codebase. You can find a Swift bootcamp online or in-person. They range from 6-weeks to 16-weeks.
