Swift Study Plan

Use small compiled changes, not only reading progress, to learn Swift.

How it works

Start with typed values, optionals and control flow. Practise collection boundaries and functions before choosing struct or class ownership. Add protocols, errors, real package tests and concurrency before Apple interfaces. SwiftUI and iOS capabilities later in this course have explicit Mac/Xcode and device requirements.

Run this Swift example

Install the toolchain for your platform from Swift.org, then check swift --version. The reviewed portable baseline is Swift 6.4.2 in Swift 6 mode on Ubuntu 26.04 x86_64 through the PC’s existing WSL installation. These are real Linux executions, not claims of Windows-native or Apple-platform test results. Windows Swift has separate C++/SDK prerequisites in its official setup guide.

Save the complete source as study-plan.swift in a new learning folder. On Linux/macOS compile with swiftc -swift-version 6 -parse-as-library study-plan.swift -o lesson, then run ./lesson. On a configured Windows toolchain use an output such as lesson.exe and run .\lesson.exe. The parse-as-library option supports the explicit @main entry point used by these sources. Compile each ordinary lesson separately.

Bhylu has no Swift browser runner. The JavaScript/Python editors do not run these sources; Apache, PHP and MySQL are not required. Downloads are source text, never executable teaching endpoints.

Download the complete study-plan.swift · Download all source files with hash checks

For the optional collection, save download-examples.mjs in a new folder and run node download-examples.mjs. A local preview uses node download-examples.mjs http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/swift/. It refuses an existing bhylu-swift-examples folder and installs or executes no Swift automatically. Apple-only files remain separate Xcode learning examples, not a portable Swift package target.

Example

study-plan.swift


@main
struct Lesson {
    static func main() {
        let stages = ["Values and optionals", "Collections and functions", "Models and protocols", "Data and tests", "Concurrency and platform projects"]
        for (index, stage) in stages.enumerated() { print("\(index + 1). \(stage)") }
    }
}

Expected result

1. Values and optionals
2. Collections and functions
3. Models and protocols
4. Data and tests
5. Concurrency and platform projects

After each stage, change an edge case and explain the compiler or test result. Use the original workshop package as a place to keep a regression test beside your fix. There is no promised completion time or certificate.

Primary references: The Swift Programming Language and Apple framework documentation. Use the selected platform’s current requirements. Fictional workshop examples do not establish production safety or deployment approval.
