A case of the Vapors

This one? or this one? https://vapor.codes/ https://vapor.codes/ "Create modern web apps, sites, and APIs using HTTP or real-time apps using WebSockets. Nearly 100x faster than popular web frameworks using Ruby and PHP. Swift is fast by every meaning of the word. The latest cryptographic ciphers, digests, and LibreSSL's new TLS (SSL) make security easy. With middleware and Swift extensions, you can add custom functionality to Vapor that feels native. The static type system allows you to write less and do more. Vapor apps are very concise and even more powerful. With autocomplete, debugging, and breakpoints you'll spend more time creating and less time fixing. " I like the definition of "fun"......not quite how I would describe it, but, hey-ho, I'll let you decide :-)

Kitura - Server-side SWIFT

Image
Build end-to-end apps using Swift with Kitura.  Kitura is a new, modular, package-based web framework written in the Swift language. Put simply, if you write iOS apps using Swift for iPhone/iPad, then you can now write Swift code Server-side.  Personally, I think I'll stick with writing JavaScript server-side as I've been doing that since 2001 and I'm not a hipster... >CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT HOW TO SET THIS UP ON YOUR MAC< >AND RUN THROUGH A HELLO WORLD PROJECT<

Using Worklight native API in iOS application built with Swift

Image
( another video from Anton Aleksandrov ) Apple introduced a new programming language called Swift. One of the key features is full interoperability with existing Objective-C code which allows to easily integrate existing frameworks and libraries into applications built with Swift.  Below video demonstrates the process of adding and using Worklight native API to an iOS application built with Swift. As usual - watch it in HD for a full screen resolution. Note that iOS8 and XCode6 are still in beta phase and therefore not officially supported by Worklight, so this is just a small proof of concept. Cheers Anton! (I'll be doing some work with XCode6 myself, so will post some further articles on my findings during Q3/Q4 this year)
