The Swift Programming Language Book
"The Swift Programming Language" is the name of Apple's official book, originally intended as a learning resource for Objective-C developers, which outlines and teaches the essential language features of Swift. As the purpose of the book is to outline the language and its core 29 language features it explains why the book simply is titled "The Swift Programming Language" or TSPL for short.

The original hard back copy of the book is no longer available, however the book is still supported and used as documentation on the official Swift website Swift.org.
It is a little text-heavy but maybe the Xcode playground resources on this site can serve to simplify and reduce the information into more concise material and even faster revision material as they are explained using primarily executable code examples. Nether the less, this is a resource that every iOS developer should own.

We converted the last remaining physical copy of the book into an Xcode playground. Although this may not be the most useful use of your time to prepare for an interview, you may find it interesting or useful for reference.
