Welcome to Month of Swift

Swift is a robust and intuitive programming language created by Apple that’s easy to learn, simple to use, and super powerful. It’s also one of the fastest growing, most popular open-source programming languages used by professional developers. In fact, some of the world’s most popular apps are built in Swift.
