Reading 3 The Rest of Swift

This document provides reading assignments for the rest of the Swift Programming Language document. It lists sections for students to read, categorizing some as more important ("red") or less important ("yellow") for the course. It recommends reading all unread sections for completeness but focusing on "red" concepts that will be covered in lecture. "Yellow" topics may not be needed but are good to know exist. It suggests being prepared to re-read topics like error handling that will be used in later assignments.

Sections to Read

Below is an attempt to capture all the chapters which were in gray in previous
assignments (or chapters that were not even mentioned in previous assignments). But
generally, as you read through the document, you should now read anything that you
have not already read.

In this document yellow means “not that important” and red means “very important.”

Concepts that are important will be discussed and usually demoed in lecture in this
course. So if you read a section and your head is spinning, don’t panic until you see it
come up in lecture and still don’t understand it. Many of these remaining topics (the
ones in yellow) are things that you will probably not even need this quarter (but it is
important to know that they exist).

Also note that the Swift Programming Language document is a reference document.
You can always go back to it and read up on something. As long as you know some
topic exists (e.g. optional chaining, subscripts or generics) and you have a general idea
what it’s about, you will know to revisit this document when you are confronted with it or
an occasion to use that feature arises.

Subscripts

Subscript Syntax
Subscript Options

Initialization

Class Inheritance and Initialization


Failable Initializers
Required Initializers

Deinitialization

This is almost never needed, but you can read up on it for completeness’ sake.

Automatic Reference Counting

Don’t freak out about this too much. Reference cycles are not that common of an
occurrence. However, understanding how to keep a closure from having a strong
reference to something that has a strong reference to it is important, so …

Optional Chaining

Entire Chapter

Error Handling

We will not be needing to handle errors like this for a couple of more assignments, so
read through this, absorb as much as you can, but be prepared to read through it again
for Programming Assignment 4 and 5.

Nested Types

Entire Chapter

Extensions

Don’t go crazy with this! It’s a cool feature, but it can be abused. Remember that
readability of your code is most important. If you add too many weird extensions or
extend something in a way that is non-intuitive, you will lose readers of your code.

Protocols

Entire Chapter

This is very important. It will be covered and demoed in lecture. Read this chapter
carefully.

Generics

Entire Chapter

Access Control

Entire Chapter. We will not be creating our own frameworks this quarter, so you will
never use public, but again, it’s good to know about. However, you must always use
private appropriately in this course.

Advanced Operators

Entire Chapter
