Swift 2.2 requires Xcode 7.3, which works in OS X 10.11+. I would recommend at least 4GB RAM.

You can do it like this in Swift, using NetFS:

func mountShare(serverAddress: String, shareName: String, userName: String, password: String) {
    let fm = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
    let mountPoint = "/Volumes/".stringByAppendingString(shareName)
    var isDir : ObjCBool = false
    if fm.fileExistsAtPath(mountPoint, isDirectory: &isDir) {
        if isDir {
            unmount(mountPoint, 0)
            println("Unmounted: \(mountPoint)")
        }
    }
    let sharePath = NSURL(string: "\(serverAddress)/\(shareName)")!
    let mounted : Int32 = NetFSMountURLSync(sharePath, nil, userName, self.decodeStr(password), nil, nil, nil)
    if mounted > 0 {
        println("Error: sharePath: \(sharePath) Not Valid")
    } else {
        println("Mounted: \(sharePath)")
    }
}

Have a look at Rebekka .

You can use it like this:

var configuration = SessionConfiguration()
configuration.host = "ftp://ftp.mozilla.org:21"
configuration.username = "user"
configuration.password = "pass"
configuration.encoding = NSUTF8StringEncoding
_session = Session(configuration: configuration)
_session.list("/") {
    (resources, error) -> Void in
    println("List directory with result:\n\(resources), error: \(error)\n\n")
}

Here is a tutorial on using Google Maps SDK in Swift .

Sanple Swift code:

import UIKit
import GoogleMaps

class ViewController: UIViewController {
  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let camera = GMSCameraPosition.cameraWithLatitude(20.0,
        longitude:20.0, zoom:6)
    let mapView = GMSMapView.mapWithFrame(CGRectZero, camera:camera)
    let marker = GMSMarker()
    marker.position = camera.target
    marker.snippet = "Hello World"
    marker.appearAnimation = kGMSMarkerAnimationPop
    marker.map = mapView
    self.view = mapView
  }
}

You can use this Swift code:

func playSound(soundName: String) {
    let soundURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource(soundName, ofType: "mp3")!)
    let audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL:soundURL)
    audioPlayer.prepareToPlay()
    audioPlayer.play()
}

@IBAction func buttonClicked(sender: AnyObject) {
    let soundArray = ["One"]
    playSound(soundArray[0])
}

There is an updated version of the e-book at https://swiftlang.eu#book

From GTLQueryGmail.h:

// Method: gmail.users.messages.get
// Gets the specified message.
//  Optional:
//   format: The format to return the message in. (Default kGTLGmailFormatFull)
//      kGTLGmailFormatFull: "full"
//      kGTLGmailFormatMetadata: "metadata"
//      kGTLGmailFormatMinimal: "minimal"
//      kGTLGmailFormatRaw: "raw"
//   identifier: The ID of the message to retrieve.
//   metadataHeaders: When given and format is METADATA, only include headers
//     specified.
//   userId: The user's email address. The special value me can be used to
//     indicate the authenticated user. (Default me)
//  Authorization scope(s):
//   kGTLAuthScopeGmail
//   kGTLAuthScopeGmailModify
//   kGTLAuthScopeGmailReadonly
// Fetches a GTLGmailMessage.
+ (instancetype)queryForUsersMessagesGet;

So you should add query parameters like:

query.urlQueryParameters = ["identifier": id]

You can do it like this:

let url = NSURL(string: combo)
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
imgdisp.image = UIImage(data: data!)

The best is to start with the Swift Language YouTube channel , where you will find the Stanford University Swift Course, Udemy Course, or 300+ other video tutorials on Swift.

Welcome back!

Last week Apple introduced Swift 2.0 and announced that it will be open sourced later this year. This is great news!
Have a look at the Swift sessions videos at WWDC 2015 .
