Swift Functional Programming

Paris Buttfield-Addison
Swift is one of the most interesting modern languages that you’ll encounter in your travels, and with its recent open-source release growing its relevance across myriad different communities, it’s a language worth learning. Swift is great for traditional, imperative programming, but especially excels at functional programming.

This session will explore the basics of functional programming with Swift 2.0 using examples. It operates under the assumption that you are familiar with iterative programming in a relatively modern, or heavily-used language, such as Python, Java, C#, Perl 6, or similar. We’ll explore some of the things functional programming is good at, such as filtering, reducing numbers, indexing, and more, and we’ll do it using Swift’s powerful and easy-to-understand functional programming features. We’ll also do it using Swift’s really, really, really cool REPL (read-evaluate-print-loop) live programming environment, Playgrounds.

Surprised there aren't more views, likes and comments on this video. I've learned more from this video than a bunch of paid courses from Udemy and blogs. Thanks!

2:50 Is Swift suports non-breaking space as a regular space? I ask this because I had a bad surprise to put some non ordinary spaces in Kotlin and I got unrelated errors to my mistake.
