Server-Side Swift Udacity

Overview

About the course

The Server-Side Swift course from Udacity will help you learn how to utilize Swift as a server-side language for building end-to-end applications. Discover how Swift can power a web server, connect to data stores, and power client-side applications.

What you'll do during this course:

• You'll build Swift servers that can run on macOS and Linux. You'll also utilize the Swift Package Manager as you build a simple end-to-end app entirely in Swift!
• You’ll learn how to build, run, and deploy microservices written in Swift. You'll also plan an entirely new app using a microservice-based architecture.
• You will build a Swift microservice from scratch that interfaces with a datastore which can create, retrieve, update, and delete (CRUD) resources.
• You will learn how to use a Swift MySQL client to execute JOIN queries, create paged results, use stored procedures, and perform transactions — sets of MySQL operations.
•  You will build a users microservice that integrates with Facebook's AccountKit. You will also create JSON web tokens and a new middleware to secure microservice endpoints.
