Learning to Code With Swift Playgrounds

Many years back (well, five or so, but that's an eternity in technical worlds), I used to be the editor of the mobile channel of a developer website. This was when app-building was the hottest thing in town, and well, Objective-C, the default language for building iOS apps, was looking ancient.

Then in 2014, Apple announced, Swift, a new modern option for building apps in the Apple ecosystem, and with an increasing amount of cross-platform, server-side support, it was always a language I had a lot of hope for and kept a keen eye on.
