Mastering Swift 2 Programming (Video 19)

This video tutorial introduces the Instruments application, a tool included with Xcode for performance analysis and memory management. It covers how Instruments can help visualize memory usage, identify leaks, and analyze heap statistics. The tutorial provides a hands-on demonstration using a sample project, showing how to use Instruments to monitor memory and debug issues. It concludes with encouragement to explore Instruments further and a preview of the next topic on strong reference cycles.
