With Alfee, pay only for the time worked and do not waste time and money on recruiting. Hire a Swift developer, we take care of all the calculations. We will replace our specialist if he does not fit.
Each developer from our team has worked in the largest IT companies. The products in the development of which we participated, perhaps you use every day! All this has given us valuable experience in designing and creating services of any complexity.
Basic knowledge of iOS can help you attract new job seekers. Moreover, understanding the expectations and job requirements of candidates will help you hire the "right" developer.
The developers we recommend are able to work in a team, understand technical specifications and documentation, understand someone else's code, and can fix errors. They are ready to participate in all stages of the creation of your project, providing functionality and optimization. And if necessary, they will continue to support the application after the release.
Hiring a ready-made team of iOS developers is a way to save on the services of a recruitment agency and reduce the time from the start of development to the implementation of the project and change its status to "open access project".
Alfee has gathered a pool of specialists with the necessary programming skills and extensive experience in developing mobile applications for iOS.
A Swift developer is an IT specialist who creates software for iOS and macOS devices: iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iWatch, etc. To explain it in simple words, he makes software and applications for iPhones, tablets, laptops and computers from Apple.
Until the moment when the Swift programming language appeared, all software for iOS/macOS was created in the Objective-C language.
In most cases, it needs Internet access to work if it communicates with remote resources. If you hire swift developers in Alfee, you will definitely not regret it!
We increase market share, improve service, increase loyalty and sales, reduce costs by automating and optimizing business processes using mobile applications and web services
Our goal is to create a convenient mobile application that will work flawlessly, as well as be intuitive, useful and multifunctional for the end user, and, of course, profitable for the customer.
We offer you Swift development services at the best prices, developers have extensive experience and due professionalism.
Let's list what a Swift developer should know:
Freelancing is possible, but remote employees are, as a rule, Swift Developers of the middle level and higher, and this is their advantage over others.
Our Swift developers are able to solve controversial issues, look for optimal solutions to meet customer requirements, accept criticism without offense, work for the result, and not for the sake of profit. They have knowledge of a foreign language, skills of working with Apple devices.
The knowledge, skills and responsibilities of a developer depend on their qualifications. Briefly about steps:
The responsibilities of a Swift developer:
Swift's potential was appreciated by educational institutions around the world. They use Swift and Xcode on Mac to teach, providing their students with the best tools to create applications. And with Apple's free training program "Development in Swift", even beginners can easily move from the basics of programming to professional development.
Alfee will quickly provide experienced Swift developers for your project as well.
The user interface of mobile applications plays a very important role in the process of creating an application, because the interface is the connecting link between the hardware and software of the mobile device and the focus of user interaction.
You don't have to do it all yourself. Focus on what you do best and start improving your performance.
You will not have to regret the unsuccessful hiring. Read reviews from real people and know that you are getting the best.
Apple introduced this language in 2014 as a counterweight to Objective-C. The newcomer found several advantages at once.
For example, Swift does not require two files, language security is perfectly implemented, unique work with generics, a well-developed model of data types and method dispatch. This language can be safely called more readable due to its simplified and convenient syntax.
In the process of development on Swift, the presence of a special environment for experiments called Playground helps a lot, the benefits of which we will tell you about at the interviews below.
Finally, the new language is promising because the development speed is much higher than in Objective-C and C++. It makes it easier to fix bugs and, in general, development on Swift turns out to be cheaper, more efficient and more promising than on Objective-C.
Therefore, we are consciously looking for specialists who have experience of "communicating" in this language.
After comparing both languages, the answer is obvious, and Swift can be considered the best language if you compare it with Objective-C. Swift is a modern, powerful and very secure language, which makes the new language an excellent alternative, much more powerful than Objective-C, with the only drawback ‒ its complexity.
However, it should be noted that Swift is a completely new language, and it still has a long way to go and still needs to reach the final version.
Mobile developers for iOS are well aware that there are different types of variables in the language. They are divided into two main types. Namely, some are passed by reference ‒ reference type (reference type), and others by value ‒ value type (type of values).
In an interview, we ask what is the difference between (struct) structure and (class) class. The structure is the value type, and the class is the reference type.
Alas, not everyone answers this question, and some of the candidates are even interested in "why such a strange question at the very beginning?". But if you think about it, the question is not at all strange, especially if you plan to develop on Swift.
Reference type instances, when initialized and assigned, begin to refer to the same area in memory and, as a result, share the same value among themselves, and in the case of value type, data is copied, and objects begin to refer to different memory areas, and they do not share values among themselves. Strictly speaking, in the case of value type, the copy-on-write principle works.
That is, until the attempt to change the value, instances of value type will refer to the same address, and at the first change, copying will occur. Obviously, understanding this is necessary for the developer. The code can behave completely differently for classes and structures. But just knowing the differences is not enough.
The second level of awareness is the difference in writing code. It turns out that it is not so easy to write in Playground and demonstrate the differences in working with reference type and value type if you have not had programming experience in Swift. We have only 1 out of 3 candidates who pass this test.
The higher the level of the developer, the higher the requirements for him in terms of soft-skills. Technical skills are usually easier for developers to develop than communication and teamwork skills, but it is the skills of working with people that become very important for middle- and, even more so, for senior developers.
I don't think it is possible for a team of developers to work successfully, who are excellent "techies", but are unwilling or unable to communicate with each other and work to achieve a common goal.
We usually expect juniors to be willing to learn and ready for a variety of development tasks in order to understand their weaknesses and strengths. Growth usually occurs within a year, during which time the employee receives the necessary skills to solve multifaceted tasks and minimal experience.
Middle developers usually already have some experience sufficient to solve typical tasks, they can argue and explain their decisions, these are team "players".
Senior developers, in turn, have the experience and skills that allow them to participate in the design of systems, justify and make decisions that affect the overall infrastructure. We also expect employees of this level to actively participate in the training of other team members.
iOS has its own system for working with memory, which uses reference counting. There are two approaches in Swift. These are Manual Reference Counting (MRC) and Automatic Reference Counting (ARC). Manual Reference Counting is used when working directly with memory, but usually ARC is still used. In particular, it is important for the developer to understand how strong links differ from weak ones.
This is an important point for those languages where there is no garbage Collector. Here is an interesting letter on why Swift does not use Garbage Collector.
In fact, everything is not so difficult here ‒ you need to tell about the reference counter, that the object is deleted when the counter value reaches 0 (zero), and so on. But again, we need a person to show an example in the Playground. And then some of the applicants have a stupor.
Even if a couple of phrases about strong and weak links have been successfully learned, at this stage it becomes obvious if a person has not had a normal coding practice on Swift. Together with the Alfee team, you will not have any difficulties to hire swift developers.
Any developer should be able to launch a project. We give a simple task for this ‒ to develop an iOS application that simply shows the Acronis website. For a programmer who really did something on Swift, such a task will require 10-15 minutes, which mostly go to setting settings and checking.
Safety. Thanks to advanced memory management, Swift is safer than Objective-C and eliminates unauthorized access to data.
It tracks programmer errors more accurately, so the risk of inconspicuous but critical bugs is reduced. Swift is predictable ‒ this is important when debugging or testing.
Open source code. Swift can be used free of charge by developers, teachers and students under a license to distribute Apache 2.0 open source software. Binaries for OS X and Linux allow you to compile code for iOS, OS X, watches, TV OS and Linux.
Alfee Company is your reliable partner in the development of the future.
