Hi. Just curious if you will be adding Swift in the iOS portion. Since the book is in still in beta, it would be great to show some development with Swift.

I agree with ashag. I wanna get the information of Swift in this book. I'm expecting you a lot. Thanks.

@dazmuda Any thoughts on this? I know you've been learning Swift, not sure how you feel about changing the book over or the value of doing so.

dazmuda commented 10 years ago

@jessieay I haven't made a decision regarding this yet, but will update y'all when I do.

The first version of the book will be in Objective-C. However, I think that rewriting this app in Swift would provide a delightful comparison of the two languages.

So, I'm going to say that's a definite v2 feature.

The rewriting would either be covered as a series of blog posts (which would cover things more anecdotally) or as an addition to the book (which would be more in-depth but would definitely take longer.)
