Apple Swift Programming Language Launched

Apple just launched it’s Swift Programming Language at the WWDC 2014 on Monday. Here is how Apple describes the new language:

Swift is a new programming language for creating iOS and OS X apps. Swift builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C compatibility. Swift adopts safe programming patterns and adds modern features to make programming easier, more flexible, and more fun. Swift’s clean slate, backed by the mature and much-loved Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks, is an opportunity to reimagine how software development works.

If you want to learn more about the Swift Programming Language, Apple provided a book that is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device. See the book on iTunes.
