Few days ago, during the WWDC 2014, Apple released a totally new programming language to be another great option to Objective-C. This programming language was called Swift, so I started to review an learn what Swift offer us in the mobile world development.
I have to say it is really impressive, because it include a huge amount of new features (compared with Objective-C), in that sense Swift has a clearer, simpler and easier syntax; if you are a JavaScript, Python or Ruby developer you are going to find many similarities between Swift and those languages.
These are some useful links if you want to start learning Swift, enjoy them and remember be happy with your code!
