Swift is a powerful and versatile programming language developed by Apple Inc. It was first introduced in 2014 and has since become the primary language for developing applications on Apple's platforms, including iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Swift is designed to be easy to read and write, with a focus on performance, safety, and modern programming concepts.


This competency area includes an understanding of the concepts of inheritance and protocols, memory management, concurrency, SwiftUI, design patterns, and performance optimization.

  1. Inheritance and Protocols - Knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts like inheritance and how to create and adopt protocols.
  2. Memory Management - Understanding how memory is managed in Swift, the usage of Automatic Reference Counting (ARC), and dealing with strong reference cycles.

  3. Concurrency - Understanding concurrency in Swift, including Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) for managing threads and queues.

  4. SwiftUI - Understanding the declarative syntax, views, and modifiers.

  5. Design Patterns - Knowledge of common design patterns used in iOS development, such as Singleton, Observer, and Delegate patterns.

  6. Performance Optimization - Proficiency in optimizing code for performance, including dealing with large data sets and understanding best practices.
