Simple To Do List App in Swift

- WWDC 2014 - Apple introduced Swift at their annual developers conference.
Swift allows new developers to quickly create apps for iOS devices
- It is an easier language to learn and understand compared Objective-C

- The alternatives are Objective-C, React Native, and Phonegap
Swift was introduced in 2014 by Apple and they've released 3 versions so far. The next version, Swift 4, is expected to be released at WWDC 2017
Swift is simple, visual, and easy to learn. We were able to build this simple app relatively quickly without having any prior experience with it.
The biggest hurdle would simply be getting used to the new terminology and creating more complex apps.
Some helpful resources to learn Swift are Swift Playgrounds, iOS, Google, YouTube
