Why Take This Course
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 as well as server-side applications that run on Linux environments. It is now possible for developers to create end-to-end in Swift. That's one language that can power everything from iOS client applications to web servers.
