Are you interested to learn how to program Swift on the server? In this workshop, you will build an API for your front-end game engine using Perfect!

In this hands-on workshop, participants will build a back-end that:

Logs a player in
Stores individual and high scores
Delivers “in game news” items

Participants will also learn how to build your own Swift Package Module for code re-use.

This session is open to all - York University students, Seneca College students, and members of the community who are interested to learn more about programming Swift on the server.

Please bring your own laptops with Xcode 8 already installed. And you can take a look at what is included in the Perfect framework here.
