Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implement object-oriented programming paradigms with Swift 3.0 and mix them with modern functional programming techniques to build powerful real-world applications About This Book Leverage the most efficient object-oriented design patterns in your Swift applications Write robust, safer, and better code using the blueprints that generate objects Build a platform with object-oriented code using real-world elements and represent them in your apps Who This Book Is For This book is for iOS and macOS developers who want to get a detailed practical understanding of object-oriented programming with the latest version of Swift: 3.0. What You Will Learn Write high-quality and easy-to-maintain reusable object-oriented code to build applications for iOS, macOS, and Linux Work with encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism using Swift 3.0 Work with classes, instances, properties, and methods in Swift 3.0 Take advantage of inheritance, specialization, and the possibility to overload or override members Implement encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism Explore functional programming techniques mixed with object-oriented code in Swift 3.0 Understand the differences between Swift 3.0, previous Swift versions, and Objective-C code In Detail Swift has quickly become one of the most-liked languages and developers' de-facto choice when building applications that target iOS and macOS. In the new version, the Swift team wants to take its adoption to the next level by making it available for new platforms and audiences. This book introduces the object-oriented paradigm and its implementation in the Swift 3 programming language to help you understand how real-world objects can become part of fundamental reusable elements in the code. This book is developed with XCode 8.x and covers all the enhancements included in Swift 3.0. In addition, we teach you to run most of the examples with the Swift REPL available on macOS and Linux, and with a Web-based Swift sandbox developed by IBM capable of running on any web browser, including Windows and mobile devices. You will organize data in blueprints that generate instances. You'll work with examples so you understand how to encapsulate and hide data by working with properties and access control. Then, you'll get to grips with complex scenarios where you use instances that belong to more than one blueprint. You'll discover the power of contract programming and parametric polymorphism. You'll combine generic code with inheritance and multiple inheritance. Later, you'll see how to combine functional programming with object-oriented programming and find out how to refactor your existing code for easy maintenance. Style and approach This simple guide is packed with practical examples of solutions to common problems. Each chapter includes exercises and the possibility for you to test your progress by answering a quiz

Book excerpt: Get to grips with object-oriented programming in Swift to efficiently build powerful real-world applications About This Book Leverage the most efficient object-oriented design patterns in your Swift applications Write robust, safer, and better code using the blueprints that generate objects Build a platform with object-oriented code by using real-world elements and represent them in your app Who This Book Is For If you are an iOS developer who has a basic idea of object-oriented programming and want to incorporate its concepts with Swift to optimize your application's code and create reusable and easily to understand building blocks, then this book is for you. This is a very useful resource for developers who want to shift from Objective C, C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, or other object-oriented languages to Swift What You Will Learn Build solid, stable, and reliable applications using Swift Work with encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism using Swift 2.0 Customize constructors and destructors based on your needs Develop Swift 2.0 with classes, instances, properties, and methods Take advantage of generic code to maximize code reuse and generalize behaviors Use state of inheritance, specialization, and the possibility to overload members Write high quality object-oriented code to build apps for iOS or Mac OS X In Detail Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects; these are data structures that contain data in the form of fields, often known as attributes and code. Objects are everywhere, and so it is very important to recognize elements, known as objects, from real-world situations and know how they can easily be translated into object-oriented code. Object-Oriented Programming with Swift is an easy-to-follow guide packed full of hands-on examples of solutions to common problems encountered with object-oriented code in Swift. It starts by helping you to recognize objects using real-life scenarios and demonstrates how working with them makes it simpler to write code that is easy to understand and reuse. You will learn to protect and hide data with the data encapsulation features of Swift. Then, you will explore how to maximize code reuse by writing code capable of working with objects of different types. After that, you'll discover the power of parametric polymorphism and will combine generic code with inheritance and multiple inheritance. Later, you move on to refactoring your existing code and organizing your source for easy maintenance and extensions. By the end of the book, you will be able to create better, stronger, and more reusable code, which will help you build better applications. Style and approach This simple guide is packed with practical examples of solutions to common problems. Each chapter includes exercises and the possibility for you to test your progress by answering questions.
