Swift: Mastering the Core Concepts

Now that we are familiarized with the background of Swift, it's time to start writing your first Swift code. In this video, we will:

• Learn to create constants and variables using let and var keywords
• Understand Int, UInt, Float, Double, and Bool data types
• Explore the default types 

In this video, we will learn how to format and print the output to the console along with understanding the complex text type - strings. Here is what is in store for you:

• Explore ways to output to the console using the print() and dump() functions
• Get familiar with Swift's text type—strings
• Give all of it a try in Xcode

In this video, we will explore tuples, which we can think of as a simple group of related values. Particularly, we will:

• Get familiar with the tuple syntax and learn to access its values
• Understand named and unnamed tuples
• Implement tuples in an Xcode playground 

Now, let us understand the concept of essential flow controls in Swift. In this video, we will:

• Explore ranges in depth
• Understand ranges as common functions
• Use them in the Swift Xcode playground 

Now that we have covered ranges, we will move on to understanding conditionals and loops. In this video, we will:

• Understand the for-in loop syntax
• Understand while, repeat/while
• Play with them in Xcode

In this video, we would be learning the usage of switch statement in Swift. Particularly, we will:

• Explore the basic switch syntax
• Understand switch pattern matching
• Implement in Xcode 

Now that we have understood flow controls, let us explore Swift optionals. In this video, we will:

• Understand what an optional is
• Explore basic optional syntax
• Try them in Xcode 

In this video, we will learn optional as a type that expresses the absence of a value. Particularly, we will:

• Understand to use optionals
• Learn the assignment of optionals
• Try it in Xcode

Now that we have covered optionals, we will understand optional unwrapping in detail. In this video, we will:

• Understand optional unwrapping with if keyword
• Explore the syntax
• Implement in Xcode playground 

Now let us explore and implement Swift functions in detail. In this video, we will cover the following topics:

• Learn the Swift function syntax
• Understand the naming conventions
• Explore the types of argument in detail

In this video, we will explore Swift as default argument type. Particularly, we will:

• Learn the argument type syntax
• Understand the inout arguments
• Implement in Xcode playground 

Now that we have covered argument types, let us understand return types. In this video, we will:

• Explore multiple return types
• Learn to return tuples
• Learn to return optionals

In this video, we will understand generics in detail along with the problem they solve. Particularly, we will:

• Explore what generics are and what can they do
• Understand the syntax of generics
• Implement in Xcode 

In this video, we will:

• Explore how generics are not magic
• Focus on what it can do and what not it is
• Play in Xcode

In this video, we will understand array as a Swift native collection type. Here is what is in store for you:

• Learn array as a generic type
• Explore the declaration array syntax
• Explore array operations in-depth and try in Xcode 

In this video, we will: 

• Understand the dictionary syntax
• Explore how to access dictionary values
• Learn to iterate over a dictionary 

In this video, we will: 

• Understand set and how is it used
• Explore the set syntax
• Try it in Xcode 

In this video, we will cover the following topics:

• Understanding tuple as related values
• Explore structs in detail
• Learn to define methods  

In this video, we will explore methods and classes. Particularly, we will:

• Learn to define methods
• Understand computed properties
• Learn more about classes 

In this video, we will learn about custom initializers in detail. Particularly, we will:

• Understand convenience initializers
• Explore initializer delegation in class
• Learn about delegation for structs

In this video, we will understand mutable class properties in-depth. Particularly, we will:

• Understand variable properties
• Explore class inheritance syntax
• Learn about subclass initializer delegation

In this video, we will learn about protocols, how and why they are used in Swift. Particularly, you will:

• Explore protocols as types
• Learn capabilities of types
• Understand the syntax  

In this video, we will learn to define custom protocols. Here is what is in store for you:

• Explore what are custom protocols
• Learn the syntax to define them
• Play in Xcode 

Now that we have covered how to define custom protocols, we will see how to adopt protocols. Particularly, we will:

• Learn the basic syntax
• Explore why to adopt protocols
• Understand why to use them and try in Xcode 

Now that we have understood protocols, we will understand closures in depth. We will cover the following topics:

• Explore what closure is
• Learn closure type syntax
• Understand closure body definition 

In this video, we will learn how to use closures in our project. Particularly, you will:

• Learn about closure function arguments
• Understand its syntax
• Try it in Xcode 

In this video, we will learn capturing in closures. Here is what is in store for you:

• Explore closing over in closures
• Understand capturing in detail
• Try it in Xcode
