What Memory Is & Why Manage It | Essential Memory Management | Swift & iOS Basics

In the first episode of my series on Swift and iOS basics, I cover the most essential questions of memory management in Swift (or rather, memory management, period—these questions are not really specific to Swift). The idea of this series is very simple: I want a collection of short-ish videos which I can use as a refresher without the need to google the details all over again. I used to have a special notebook for that kind of things, but it got lost—alas. So I’m basically recreating my collection of notes in the video format, and you can take advantage of it (if this format works for you).
