The language will attract existing developers because of its modern features and prototyping tools, and it will attract new developers because of its less-steep learning curve. That said, Swift is deep, and contains many advanced concepts, constructs, and patterns. Developers need a way to learn these new features and understand them in context. Head First is an effective vehicle for this level of teaching, and \u003ci\u003eHead First Swift\u003c\/i\u003e is no exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy does this book look so different?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, \u003ci\u003eHead First Swift\u003c\/i\u003e uses a visually rich format to engage your mind, rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.
