The Summer of Swift

In plain words

The Summer of Swift is a time-limited contest designed to teach Swift programming through hands-on contribution. Participants learn the language by working on the realm/summer-of-swift development project, which requires a GitHub account to join. The project serves developers interested in building Swift skills through practical development work rather than traditional tutorials.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
