A few years ago, much activity surrounded Swift and its potential for backend work. That excitement appears to have faded, leaving Swift as the Apple programming language. What is occurring now? Does Swift have a future beyond Apple? Who is using it and for what?
And is Swift used outside of Apple?
Hi everyone!
I just finished the 100 days of SwiftUI course by Paul Hudson and it was great. I completely fell in love with the language and with developing in swift. So much so... that I don't know where to go now. Originally my plan was to learn SwiftUI so I could focus on UI and design systems. But now that I have seen different applications, I want to learn advanced swift, advanced SwiftUI, backend programming, server side code, etc. I know that if I go wide, I won't go very deep... so I'm coming to you, redditors, to ask: what would you recommend I focus on next?
- Vapor and server side for backend?
- Stick to my OG plan and continue with SwiftUI and design systems?
- Look into multi-platform coding and working in more than just Swift?
- Go deep into advanced swift?
- Despair.
Would love any advice!
Thanks!!
.p.s. if it helps, i have some background in engineering (industrial) but not super deep in software, and I've mainly worked as a UX designer, so some concepts are not totally foreign to me... but it also doesn't help because it makes me interested in everything. 🙃
