Some may be happy to know that the frequency of these little notes to myself may reduce real soon, as I'm sort of caught up with my notes, mostly, and I'm unlikely to pick up the book that I'm reading for a couple or so days now I'm used to the idea ...

Although I read up on it a few days back, it was only this evening that I fired up Emacs (well of course I'm testing Swift with Emacs, what did you think I'd do?!?) and dabbled with some code to really get a feel for how casting works in Swift. Swift...
This post is very much a case of me writing it down to try and get it all straight in my head, and to make sure it sticks. The other day I was reading about Swift's types and type-equality checks, and as I'd expect from plenty of other languages I've...
I'm going to file this one under "it seems really unnecessary, but it's also kinda cool". While reading up about protocols the book I'm reading introduced the ExpressibleBy*Literal protocols, where the * is one of a number of obvious literals. For ex...
I'm going to file this one under "it makes perfect sense, but I don't think it aids in making the code readable" -- something which I'm finding is a bit of a theme with Swift. In Swift self gets used and gets used in a way you'd expect from many othe...
Some languages favour a "one way to do it" approach, some favour "there's more than one way to do it". I'm not sure I'm at a point where I have a feel for what Swift's approach is, but I'm getting the impression it's more the latter than the former. ...
Today's little "Swift TIL" is observers. While reading up on the language I was delighted to find that it has observer support baked right into the language, for any sort of variable. So code like this: var name = "David" { willSet( new ) { ...
Following on with writing little notes to myself so I remember some key things as I learn about Swift... I sort of feel like this will make reading code a little harder, so it's one I want to keep in mind. When calling an instance method, if it's not...
As I mentioned yesterday, I'm going to make a small series of posts where I write down things that I've stumbled on while getting to know Swift that are, for me personally, worthy of note, different, unusual, cool, or just simply "WTF!?!". Because le...
