Object oriented programming languages like Swift give us the power and flexibility to model code to solve problems. By grouping properties and methods together we are able to modularize code into custom objects to suit any need. …

Initializers in swift give us the flexibility to customize how our custom classes are initialized when created. In Swift, Apple has created multiple initializers within their frameworks giving developers more options to instantiate objects with different configurations. …

Functions play a vital role in programming. They allow us to define a set of instructions into modular chunks of code to be reused making our code more clean and proned to less errors. …

When developing in Swift, every developer is familiar with named types. A named type, of course being, a type that can be named when declared. These types include Structs, Classes, Protocols, and Enumerations. Swift’s native types such as Strings, Ints, Arrays etc. …

When it comes to managing objects in Swift, Apple’s recommendation is to use a Struct over a Class where you can for easier memory management not only for the developer, but for the health of the app. …

When it comes to programming programmatically in Swift, closures make our job easier by allowing us to set up our object’s or views right within the curly brace’s body. When the class in question is loaded into memory our objects are configured with all the attributes set by our closure. …

I recently worked on a project that called for an image to be inline with text for a more fluid user experience. Wondering how to solve this problem I began to contemplate wether or not I’d have to set up a bunch of constraints to have my image trailing my…

Apple defines an enumeration as “a common type for a group of related values and enables you to work with those values in a type-safe way within your code.” …

I grew up in a very devout Macintosh family, playing computer games on my grandmother’s Mac. I’ve always had an interest in technology, especially Apple’s philosophy in tech and progress. When the era of smartphones came upon us, and Apple launched the first iPhone I finally knew what I wanted…
