Get up and running with Swift?swiftly
Brimming with expert advice and easy-to-follow instructions,
Swift For Dummies shows new and existing programmers how to
quickly port existing Objective-C applications into Swift and get
into the swing of the new language like a pro. Designed from the
ground up to be a simpler programming language, it's never been
easier to get started creating apps for the iPhone or iPad, or
applications for Mac OS X.
Inside the book, you'll find out how to set up Xcode for a new
Swift application, use operators, objects, and data types, and
control program flow with conditional statements. You'll also get
the scoop on creating new functions, statements, and declarations,
learn useful patterns in an object-oriented environment, and take
advantage of frameworks to speed your coding along. Plus, you'll
find out how Swift does away with pointer variables and how to
reference and dereference variables instead.

past, this fun and friendly guide gets you up to speed swiftly.
