Swift For The Curious
summary
Swift is at version 3/4 and fully open-sourced; the session demos show Swift playgrounds for live evaluation, concrete use of optionals with if let and optional chaining, and how closures and type inference compress sorting code from a full function to a one-liner. It builds a small conference model with enums + associated data, pattern-matching switches, failable initializers and extensions for NSDate, and a network Google-suggest client that uses try/throw + do/catch for robust error handling — the demos run and fail safely to illustrate each point.
