Beginning Swift 2
Learn about Apple’s brand new programming language, Swift, through hands-on examples! This series is primarily intended for those who have some prior programming experience and are looking to get up-to-speed quickly with Swift 2. This series requires use of Xcode 7. If you are completely new to programming, this series may go a bit too fast for you. If this is the case for you, I recommend going through part 1 of our iOS Apprentice series, which you can get for free by signing up to our site newsletter. By Greg Heo.
