# Beginning Swift

Take your first foray into programming for Apple devices with Swift.Swift is fundamentally different from Objective-C, as it is a protocol-oriented language. While you can still write normal object-oriented code in Swift, it requires a new way of thinking to take advantage of its powerful features and a solid understanding of the basics to become productive.

## What you will learn

* Explore the fundamental Swift programming concepts, language structure, and the Swift programming syntax

* Learn how Swift compares to other computer languages and how to transform your thinking to leverage new concepts such as optionals and protocols

* Master how to use key language elements, such as strings and collections

* Grasp how Swift supports modern application development using advanced features, such as built-in Unicode support and higher-order functions

## Hardware requirements

For an optimal experience, we recommend the following hardware configuration:

* 1.6 GHz or faster processor

* 1 GB of RAM (1.5 GB if running on a virtual machine)

* 4 GB of available hard disk space

* 5400 RPM hard disk drive

* DirectX 9-capable video card (1024 x 768 or higher resolution)

## Software requirements

You’ll also need the following software installed in advance:

* Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (and above) or Windows 7 SP 1 (and above)

* A working installation of Node.js version 6 (or greater)

* npm 3 (or greater)

* Modern web browser such as Google Chrome

* Text Editor such as Notepad++

* Transpiler such as Babel
