About Flight School
Founded in 2018, Flight School is an independently-published book series for advanced Swift developers interested in taking their skills to the next level.
Our mission is to write the kinds of programming books we wish we had when we were first starting out — material that connects the computer science theory with practical insights from experience working in the software industry.
…all of that, plus a sprinkle of code samples and trivia from the world of aviation. It’s an unconventional combination, but we think you’re gonna love it. 💙
