Expected Learning

When Apple open-sourced Swift, it created ripples throughout the development community, especially for those who wanted to extend Swift beyond the world of Apple devices. Fast-forward to today, and Swift is flourishing as a language for traditional Apple applications and server-side applications that run on Linux environments. It is now possible for developers to create end-to-end applications in Swift—one language for everything, from iOS clients to web servers.

Required Knowledge

Students should have experience making network requests in Swift prior to taking this course. Experience using the command line, whether on a macOS or Linux system, is helpful, but not required.
