It’s painful, old, arcane, and full of cruft. Or maybe you love Objective-C and you’re just ready to learn the future of iOS development. At any rate, you’re ready to learn Swift – but you feel like you don’t have the time. What if you knew enough Swift to dive in and build a real-world app in it? You’d be confident in your future career and freelance prospects – knowing you have the skills employers will want for years to come. You don’t need to spend hours poring through books, blog posts, and videos. You just need to attend the Beginning Swift workshop.
