15. Why So Many Swift Versions?

16. Swift Package Manager

17. Let’s build our first Vapor app!

18. Step 1: Install Swift Version Manager

19. Install Swift Version Manager $ git clone https://github.com/kylef/swiftenv.git ~/.swiftenv $

    echo 'export SWIFTENV_ROOT="$HOME/.swiftenv"' >> ~/.bash_profile $ echo 'export PATH="$SWIFTENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile $ echo 'eval "$(swiftenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

20. Install Swift 5-31 $ swiftenv install DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-05-31-a

21. Initialize Your Project $ mkdir HelloWorld $ cd HelloWorld $

    swiftenv local DEVELOPMENT- SNAPSHOT-2016-05-31-a $ swift package init --type executable Creating executable package: HelloWorld Creating Package.swift Creating Sources/ Creating Sources/main.swift Creating Tests/

22. Add Vapor to your Package.swift import PackageDescription let package =

    Package( name: "HelloWorld", dependencies: [ .Package(url: "https://github.com/ qutheory/vapor.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 10) ] )

23. Open in Xcode $ swift package generate-xcodeproj $ open HelloWorld.xcodeproj

24. Code!

25. Let’s Run This!

26. Now…to deploy to the web!

27. Now…to deploy to the web! $ git init $ heroku

    create $ heroku buildpacks:set https:// github.com/kylef/heroku-buildpack-swift $ echo 'web: HelloWorld --port=$PORT' >> Procfile $ git add . $ git commit -m "created project" $ git push heroku master

28. And we’re running!

29. Is Server-Side Swift Ready for Production?

30. No. • Foundation still incomplete on Linux • Managing Swift

    Versions & Dependencies can be hell • Should be a lot better after the Swift 3 Preview or Release

31. But will it be awesome?

32. None

33. Contributing • Vapor, Zewo, Open Swift easiest to contribute •
