Awesome! Now I can build up that new hit Anti-Social Network with Vapor! Seriously though, I think I just might do that. ---

I would like to learn Server-Side Swift because the world of web development has always fascinated me but I was waiting for a chance to do that without switching programming language! Can’t wait! ---

I have enough experience with server side programming using PHP+MySQL, but it’s always interesting to get new knowledge using new technologies. ---

It’s exciting to me that Swift can be used on the backend too. I know it’s been out there for a bit, but so glad RW is adding a new spotlight on it–would love to learn more. ---

Really looking forward to use swift also in server-side programming. Frankly, using two languages in one project is quite confusing. Looking for alternative to ruby on rails, as an iOS developer, I think swift is cut out for it. ---

Awesome, this is the way to go, scalable backends is a very important topic these days. A microservices architecture with kubernetes and docker for deployment, is the new way of building scalable backends. Swift is a great typesave, performant language to do this and I’am very interested in the development possibilities with these frameworks. ---

I’m working on an iOS app that will have a server component. The server piece is only in the design stage, so I can switch from Docker/Python to Docker/Swift. Thank you. ---
