Summary

Wrapping up the Swift track with what you can ship and where to go next.

What you learned

EXAMPLE
# Swift summary

You can now:

- Use optionals, generics, and protocols idiomatically
- Build SwiftUI views with @State, @Binding, @Observable
- Navigate with NavigationStack + sheets + paths
- Concurrency: async/await, MainActor, Task, structured concurrency
- Persist with SwiftData (or CoreData on older targets)
- Network with URLSession async APIs + Codable
- Test with XCTest, snapshot tests, integration tests
- Ship to TestFlight + the App Store

Next steps:

- Try Swift on the server with Vapor or Hummingbird
- Build a Vision Pro / visionOS app if the hardware fits your idea
- Adopt @Observable everywhere targeting iOS 17+
- Read the Swift Evolution proposals quarterly

What to avoid:

- ObservableObject in new code if you target iOS 17+
- Completion handler patterns where async/await fits
- Force unwrap (!) in production paths
- Testing only on simulator - real devices reveal real issues

Why it matters

Swift evolves quickly. Stay on the latest tools, lean on @Observable + structured concurrency, and ship to TestFlight early. For server work, Vapor + Hummingbird are credible Node alternatives if your team is Swift-strong.

Tip: Tweak the snippet with Try it Yourself », then sit the quiz at the bottom of the page.
