Description
Welcome to Server API Development in Swift, Kitura, & Bluemix.
WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
It can be tough learning many different languages for both front-end and back-end development. Why not make life so much easier and program everything in Swift? Here are a few reason why you should learn Kitura with Swift:
You can build an API that supports all platforms (Firebase only supports iOS/Android - not tvOS or macOS)
You can become a full stack-engineer without having to learn another programming language
Knowing back-end API development will give you a competitive advantage in applying for jobs
You can build an API and database for your own app ideas
Lower learning curve to get a back-end up vs learning Node or Rails or Django or PHP
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
