[mks_dropcap style=”letter” size=”52″ bg_color=”#ffffff” txt_color=”#000000″]A[/mks_dropcap]pple has introduced Swift programming language for building ios and mac apps thus replacing the old Objective C. Now the company has made it’s new language open source. According to Apple swift language is extremely expressive and powerful. Until now, you need a mac to run swift code. Today IBM has made an online code compiler tool that allows anyone to write and compile Swift code right from their browser. Thus you could write swift code from your PC, android devices, iPhone, iPad, etc. This tool is much similar to the swift playground on Xcode.

To start writing swift code, visit IBM swift sandbox.

The web compiler is still in beta stage. The compiler also gives you error codes with correct line numbers. You also have an option to quickly import code samples to try right away.
