# The Swift Summary Book

A summary of Apple's Swift language written on Playgrounds.



### Why this summary?

Apple's documentation is great for learning Swift, but who's got the time to read all that? :smile:



This summary cuts to the chase. It is directly written on the Playgrounds platform, which makes it very interactive.

You can tinker around with it as much as you like!



## Inside the Box

Once you've downloaded or cloned the repository and you open it with Xcode, you'll find most of the chapters from Apple's documentation, plus a *Resources* folder that contains extra material. The numbering in each chapter is consistent with Apple's. Chapters with a ~~strikethrough~~ have not been added to the book yet as being considered *unimportant*. More specifically, you'll find:



**Chapters**



 01. The Basics

 02. Basic Operators

 03. ~~Strings and Characters~~

 04. Collection Types

 05. Control Flow

 06. Functions

 07. Closures

 08. Enumerations

 09. Classes & Structs

 10. Properties

 11. Methods

 12. Subscripts

 13. Inheritance

 14. Initialization

 15. Deinitialization

 16. ARC

 17. Optional Chaining

 18. Error Handling

 19. Type Casting

 20. ~~Nested Types~~

 21. Extensions

 22. Protocols

 23. Generics

 24. Access Control



**Resources**

- Higher Order Functions



## How should I install this?

Getting started with The Swift Summary Book is a piece of 🎂:



1. Just clone or download the repository.

2. You need to have Xcode v8.0 or above. You can download it [here](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/).

3. Open the `.swift` file with Xcode and *voilà*!



## What are the features?

The Swift Summary Book takes advantage of the Playground platform and many of its powerful capabilities:

* The book is made of a single file that contains all chapters inside, which allows for easy access.

* Chapters use the Playground Markup Language, which brings rich documentation to the code examples.

* Every chapter has Page Linking, which allows to go back and forth from one chapter to the next, previous or another that was mentioned with in the chapter.



## Keep in mind

The Swift language is still under rapid development, which means that the documentation is changing all the time, and some sections might break at a given time.
