In my years of experience training people, I’ve learned that one of the most effective ways to excel or master something — whether it’s coding or any other skill — is by building a strong foundation.

When it comes to coding, such as Swift programming, understanding the basics — like the Foundation library (yes, I mean import Foundation, you know what I’m talking about)—is crucial.

And there you have it — just focus on understanding everything in the Foundation library. Bye!

But kidding aside, I want to share what I learned from asking several senior Swift developers about the key topics for building a strong foundation in Swift programming. I’ve compiled their answers into this single tutorial. And modified it as well to make it geeky.

To be clear, even though they’re senior developers and experts in the field, they’re still human and prone to biases. So, take this with a grain of salt.

Alright, enough of my disclaimer. Here’s the scroll of wisdom, a list of must-learn topics that’ll turn you into a Swift coding hero.
