Here is an article comparing benchmarks between vapor and server-side frameworks of other languages. The article is a little dated, but I’m still impressed how well Vapor did. Considering other benchmarks show that perfect is even faster than vapor, I wonder how perfect would do against these other languages. Here is the…[Read more]

I’m fixing to really dive in and start working on a project in which I want to use server side swift. Most of the articles that I’ve been finding say really good things about Perfect and Vapor. I have read up on all the strengths and weaknesses, but I was wondering if anyone had first-hand experience with both and if so, which they prefer to use and why?

I’ve started a repository on GitHub to keep some very basic programming examples in swift. This might help those learning or help spur ideas for others. So far I only have examples of the following:

• Hello World Program
• How to do basic output
• Generating fibonacci series

I hope to continue to add to this repository so that it can be useful for…[Read more]

Swift Source has published it’s first swift tutorial. It isn’t specific to iOS but it should be useful for anyone wanting to get into swift programming.

I’m thinking of setting up a Linux development server and was wondering what IDE everyone is using on Linux. I usually develop on a Mac and there are quite a few options for it, but it has been hard to find one for Linux. Thanks in advance.

I’ve been looking at server side Swift because I want to use Swift as my primary development technology stack. I found the following article about the different options’ benchmarks interesting. It looks like I’ll problem focus my development on Perfect. Anyone have any experiences to share with their server-side Swift…[Read more]

I was wanting to know if there was a way to develop a swift application using Xcode on my Mac, but have it build an executable that can run on Linux? I know I can move all the source files to a Linux computer and compile from there, but I was wanting to know if I could skip that and just do it all from my mac. Then I would only have to transfer the binary.
