Comment on Show HN: Learn Swift

Comments

Sorry, but this guide is not as comprehensive or updated as the official documentation [1]. Just compare the generics or memory management sections to see why you would want to read the official documentation. Maybe a high level tour of swift but you certainly are not going to learn swift with this guide.

You're right - it's not as comprehensive as the official documentation, nor is it meant to be. It's a quick tour of the main language features, with a particular emphasis on the parts that I (as a ruby, python, clojure dev) found interesting.

For comparison, the Apple book "The Swift Programming Language" comes in at 334 pages. "Learn Swift" comes in at 128 pages.
