Presentation: Swift: New Paradigms for iOS Development

Time: Monday 11:00 - 11:50 / Location: Promenade Ballroom B & C

Swift part of the new generation of multi-paradigm functional/object-oriented languages. Like Scala, F#, and other languages in this tradition, it marries the elegance and predictability of functional languages with the practicality of imperative languages and the ubiquity of object-oriented frameworks. This talk provides a broad overview of the Swift language and outlines some of the new approaches developers can utilize to create apps for iOS and the Mac. Some audience familiarity with an object-oriented language will be assumed, but no experience with Objective-C or functional languages will be expected.

Workshop: Zero to Swift: Build an iOS App with Apple's New Language

Time: Wednesday 09:00 - 16:00 / Location: Gleacher Center 4

Apple's new ‘Swift’ programming language is destined to become the de-facto standard for writing apps for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

The introduction of a new language presents a great opportunity to learn to develop iOS apps using Apple's venerable frameworks as well as pick up a language that combines the modern trends of functional and strongly-typed programming styles. This hands-on training will guide you through the complete development of an iPhone app using Swift.

You must possess a laptop with Mac OS 10.10 and the latest versions from Xcode from the Mac App Store installed, and you should be familiar with a modern programming language such as Java, C#, Python, or JavaScript. Previous experience with Objective-C is not required.
