Building IoS Apps Using Swift with Glenn Howes

Building IoS Apps Using Swift with Glenn Howes

Author: Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell September 3, 2014 Duration: 56:59
Carl and Richard talk to Glenn Howes about Apple's new programming language for IoS and MacOS: Swift. As Glenn explains, Swift builds on the same compiler that Apple's Objective-C uses (LLVM), but optimizes a number of key aspects that were known to be slow. Swift goes beyond performance improvements to add language features like generics, type safety and more! The conversation also digs into the future of Swift running on Mac OS X as well, which then digs into the differences between apps on the iPad and apps on the Mac. Great Apple conversation!
