One of the things I love about software development is that there is always more to learn. This is especially true as a Swift developer with Apple releasing new versions of tools and frameworks every year, in addition to an endless number of open-source projects.
Fortunately, the Swift community is also good about sharing this knowledge and experience to help each other grow. As a result, there is a lot of great content to choose from to improve your Swift development skills. These are a few of my favorite picks.
Blogs
Blogs are by far the most common form of content from the community. There is a lot to choose from, and this is a small subset of the bloggers I follow.

Newsletters
There are a lot of great articles written every week. It can be challenging to keep up with it all — not to mention finding new voices and fresh points of view. So one of my strategies is to subscribe to newsletters that aggregate top posts and deliver them to my inbox each week.
If you aren’t a fan of email, many RSS readers and read-later services provide options for subscribing to newsletters.
