How to Hire the Best Swift Developers

Before hiring a Swift developer to be part of your business’ in-house team, it is highly important to educate yourself on the language and development itself as well as what precautions to keep in mind when recruiting a Swift developer. Reading this will hopefully give you a better understanding of what Swift as a language and program does as well as how a Swift developer will help your business and help you decide whether these services are meant for you.

 

What is Swift? 

Swift is an interactive programming language for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS app development. It is used to write in software meant for phones, desktops, and servers. It is a fast and secure that is made up of a combination of the best modern language from Apple’s engineering culture and the diverse contributions from the open-source community. Swift is easy to use and allows you to experiment with code and immediately see results without the assistance of an app.

 

What makes Swift code convenient is that it is compiled and optimised in such a way that even iOs developers can make the most out of its modern hardware. Swift’s syntax and standard library are constructed to make sure that when iOs developers write the code the results are in the best code performance. With all of these great features, it is safe to say that Swift makes an excellent choice for an operating system for your software development. Working with Swift opens doors to complex ideas coming to life.

 

Now that you have an idea on what Swift is and how your business’ software development project can benefit from its features, it is also important to consider how to get the best results for your project. Remember, Swift is a language used in iOs devices so it is highly recommended to hire not just a skilled Swift developer but also an expert iOs developer and even senior iOs developer to achieve the most out of Swift.

 

Why should you hire a Swift developer?

When it comes to developing your software development project, having skilled iOs developers specialising in Swift, iOS development and their related technologies are highly important. Programming language defines relationships, semantics and grammar enabling programmers to effectively communicate with the machines that they are working with. A Swift developer which should also be iOs developer programs structured instructions, turning them into functions and procedures. This is of crucial importance, as language is a fundamental factor in your iOS development.

So this means that your software developer should also be an expert iOs developer or even a senior iOs developer.

 

Here are a few reasons as to why you should opt to hire a skilled Swift developer and iOs developer as they will fully utilize the various features offered by Swift.

Swift as Modern Technology

Modern is something that Apple platforms always aim to develop to ensure that they offer something new, fast and easy to maintain. And that’s why Swift was born out of their continuous efforts of research and iOs development. Swift makes it easier for iOs developers to read and maintain APIs because of its clean syntax in expressing named parameters. iOs developers can easily manipulate the codes without using semicolons, making it less prone to mistakes along the way. Swift also supports international emojis and languages which makes it easier for iOs developers to optimise the performance of using Swift in multiple cases. You need not worry about the usage of memory as it is automatically managed. Which is why your iOs developers will not only contribute more to your Swift project but also would enjoy working with it at the same time.

 

A Seamless Development Process

With a dedicated Swift developer, your iOS development is more likely to be done promptly. Due to its many simplified features,

  • Swift’s clean syntax makes it simpler to read and write. This is because fewer code lines are needed as compared to other languages. So your iOs developer won’t have a hard time using Swift.
  • Swift’s code resembles the English language, making writing code for iOs developer easier to grasp as well as having similarities with others such as Python, Java, and C#.

 

Maintenance

  • Swift came from both Objective C and C languages which makes it more advanced and provides the best features for iOs developers to handle.
  • With Swift, maintenance is made easier compared to another programming language called Objective-C where iOs developers are required to maintain two code files to improve the time and efficiency of the code. Swift does not need much maintenance.
  • With a Swift developer, the codes will be constantly maintained. A Swift developer will look after a single code file where both the Objective-C header (.h) and implementation files (.m) into a single code file (.swift).
  • A skilled iOs developer helps create app logic as well as upgrading the quality of the code, comments and features of your project development.

 

Quality Control

  • A Swift developer makes it their priority that your iOS development’s data is always secured. With its syntax and language, the codes that are constructed are more stable, and less likely to crash.
  • Its reliable features also help the programmer to make lesser mistakes. As a result, the codes produced are more controlled during its development.
  • Another outstanding feature that Swift possesses is its ability to take the nil code, compile the code errors,  and then fix them while writing the code. This feature effectively speeds up the process of development.

 

Well Produced Dynamic Libraries

  • A skilled Swift developer can construct dynamic libraries, by linking chunks of code to an app. Allowing current Swift apps to instantly link against a newer version of the Swift language as newer updates are introduced.
  • Swift’s dynamic libraries are uploaded straight to the memory, cutting down the app’s size and resulting in better app performance.

 

Ensures Better Performance

  • The ‘Swift Playgrounds’, a feature in Swift, encourages first-time coders to try out new algorithms without the need to create an entire app.
  • Apple has introduced inline code execution to Swift Playgrounds enabling Swift developers to write and test out chunks of code or algorithms, and also receive feedback afterwards. The feedback loop speeds up the process of writing the code with its data visualisations.

 

Swift Binary Compatibility

Using Swift 5, iOs developers would not need to make changes with any Swift 4 code to use the new version of the compiler your developer is using. With Swift 5, iOs developers can enjoy its new features which include binary compatibility for iOs applications. Which means that iOs developers don’t need to use Swift libraries in apps for targeting the current and future OS since all Swift libraries are already included in every OS moving forward.

 

Swift as a Cross-Platform

Swift already supports Linux and all the Apple platforms available and continuous to expand to even more platforms. The Swift community is working on making Swift compatible and integrated to various developer tools which will make it more fun and easier for software developers.

Swift and Objective C

Swift is a language where iOs developers can create new applications for your software development project. Your iOs developers can make use of Swift’s new features and capabilities in your apps. Swift and Objective C coexist within the same project so it’s easier to adopt and access Objective C APIs.

 

When a specialised Swift developer does the work, these features will be fully utilised as he or she will be able to create quality codes and algorithms that still have the potential to further improve.

 

What technical skills should you look for when hiring Swift developers?

When thinking about hiring a Swift developer it is highly important to look into the technical skills of your potential candidates. Any IT-related degree does not make a candidate immediately qualified for your businesses’ development project. Seeing a candidate’s technical skills gives you an idea on their capabilities and how they can be an asset in your in-house team.

 

Employers looking for skilled Swift developers should look for candidates that are skilled in tools and technologies such as:

 

  • Objective-C
    • iOs developers should know this programming language. Objective C is general-purpose and object-oriented. It adds Smalltalk-style messaging to C language. Mainly used by Apple for macOS and iOS operating systems.

 

  • Xcode
    • iOs developers should be skilled with Xcode. It is an integrated development environment (IDE) used for macOS, it contains a range of software development tools used for developing software for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS.

 

  • Frameworks and Application Programming Interface (APIs)
    • Frameworks are a library that provides various services and APIs are a sum of exposed functions/methods in a library.  Swift developers must be familiar with frameworks and APIs such as UIKit, CocoaTouch and Foundation.

 

  • UI (User Interface Design)  and UX (User Experience Design)
    • UI is a series of visual elements, pages and screens that come in a form of buttons and icons. They enable the user to interact with a product or service.
    • UX is the internal experience that the user has when they interact with the company’s products and services.
    • iOs developers must be an expert when it comes to UI and UX.

 

Other tools and technologies that a Swift developer and an iOs developer must possess are:

  • Apple Human Interface Guidelines
  • 2D and 3D graphics frameworks
  • iOS 10 and newer OS versions
  • Git code repository technology

What are Swift development best practices?

To have successful recruitment, it is advisable to know a few of the best practices skilled Swift developers and iOs developers should know when using the platform.

 

With Swift, common programming errors are rectified by the adaptation of modern programming patterns, such as:

  • Before iOs developers use Swift, variables should first be initialised.
  • iOs developers should define and use protocols to makes the intent crystal clear when defining new classes.
  • In array indices, iOs developers should check out-of-bounds errors.
  • To prevent overflow, iOs developers should check integers.
  • iOs developers should make use of optionals to help make sure that nil values are handled explicitly.
  • IOs developers should manage memory instantaneously.
  • For unexpected failures, iOs developer should enable controlled recover by error handling.
