Summary

In this chapter, we have covered open source Swift and its components and learned about the advantages of using Swift in server-side development.  We have also reviewed three top server-side Swift frameworks: Vapor, Kitura, and Perfect, and explained how to choose a suitable Swift web framework for your own project. The background material in this chapter helps prepare you for hands-on server-side development. In the next chapter, you will roll your sleeves up and install both Vapor and Kitura frameworks on your system.
