Back in the early 90s, when the primary language that I developed in was C, I had numerous custom libraries that contained functionality that was not a part of the standard C library. I found these libraries extremely useful because I tended to use the functionality they provided in most of my projects. This functionality included things such as converting the first letter of a character array to uppercase, or converting a numerical value to a currency string (two digits after the decimal point and a currency symbol). Having libraries such as these is extremely useful because there is always a functionality that we find useful that is not included in the standard library of the language we are developing in. I usually implemented this extra functionality in C with global functions. In more modern object-oriented languages, we can implement this functionality by subclassing...

Overview of this book
Protocol-oriented programming is an incredibly powerful concept at the heart of Swift's design. Swift's standard library was developed using POP techniques, generics, and first-class value semantics; therefore, it is important for every Swift developer to understand these core concepts and take advantage of them. The fourth edition of this book is improved and updated to the latest version of the Swift programming language.
This book will help you understand what protocol-oriented programming is all about and how it is different from other programming paradigms such as object-oriented programming. This book covers topics such as generics, Copy-On-Write, extensions, and of course protocols. It also demonstrates how to use protocol-oriented programming techniques via real-world use cases.
By the end of this book, you will know how to use protocol-oriented programming techniques to build powerful and practical applications.
