Swift Playgrounds, an application, recently launched by the Apple Inc., provides simple means to conquer the world of programming with your iPad. It introduces a platform whereby solving a set of puzzles, a novice can master the basics of Swift – a programming language used to develop most of today’s popular apps.

Features -
Swift Playgrounds come pre-installed with Apple designed lessons which deals with the real Swift code from the very beginning. It presents a 3D interactive GUI world where by coding, changes can be brought in. A problem statement along with some guided tutorials are presented solving which one advances to the next lesson.
Starting from the ‘Fundamentals of Swift’, a learner is guided through several concepts to acquire more advanced knowledge. Even after passing through a specific level, more problems are added with time to practice and build the skills.

Sharing the Code with friends and peers is another feature of Swift Playgrounds
There are several templates which are available for easier learning. Even a user can share the codes using mail, message or AirDrop. This feature comes handy when a learner is coding and exchanging the code with the peers. Finally, the user can share what they created using a video or can take them further to the XCode.
Synopsis –
The biggest USP of the Swift Playgrounds is that it allows observing the executed results and the code side by side. Its downside is that it is only available for the devices with iOS. However, its features make it a wonderful learning application to start with, especially for those who have just started their journey in the world of Swift programming.
