# 17.6: Accessing Bitcoind with Swift
> :information_source: **NOTE:** This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning.
This section explains how to interact with `bitcoind` using the Swift programming language.
## Setting Up Swift
