In this article, check out how to use Swift Programming Language in Ubuntu Linux. Swift is a programming language used for developing the iOS apps, desktop apps on Apple and also the apps that run on all the apple specific platforms.

Swift can be used for developing the mobile apps. You can also make it useful for the web based development too. But as of now the apps for web are only running on the Apple servers. But the thing is that mobile based apps can be done lot easier with the swift language.
