A Modern Language Evolved from Objective C
Swift is a multi-paradigm programming language developed by Apple for use with iOS and OS X. Designed to replace Objective C, work began on Swift in 2010 and the first mobile app was debuted in June 2014 at the Worldwide Developers Conference. Despite its goal of replacing Objective C, Swift is capable of working alongside the more dated Objective C language while using the Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks.
Swift is built with the LLVM compiler included in Xcode 6 beta, and uses the Objective-C runtime, allowing Objective-C, Objective-C++ and Swift code to run within a single program. During it’s debut, Swift was described as “Objective C without the C” by Apple’s VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi.
Contents and Overview
Through 140+ video lectures and 11 hours of content, you will be lead through setting up Swift locally, the basics of the language, how it compares to other common languages (including Objective C), and how to get started on new projects.
The course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to Swift, so that you can begin experimenting right away. Upon completion, you will understand the foundations of Swift code and will be able to develop custom applications. You will also get experience working with Xcode's new .playground file. By enrolling in this course you will be months ahead of other developers attempting learn the new Swift programming language by navigating Apple's 500-page instructional document.
Course material is regularly refreshed to include all of the newest updates and information, and since you’re granted lifetime access upon registering, you can rely on this course to keep your Swift skills on the cutting edge.

This guy is super dank. He breaks everything down, piece by piece and lets you know what stuff to worry and not worry about. I can't believe how much smoother thiings are going for me since starting this class instead of trying to learn on my own and watching other lectures.
I really enjoy the fact that his challenges follow specific lessons (for the most part). This allows me to practice and learn without spending all day looking for a needle in a haystack.
Really enjoying this class!

Nick is a great instructor! For those of you like me, who had 0 experience at programming and want to learn the swift language, this is the course to take!
He starts with the basic things and with the development of the course introduces more complex concepts, every lecture is carefully explained and in a friendly, easy way to understand.
Congratulations Nick! Keep up the good work!!

Awesome teaching style that is easy to understand and follow. The challenges offered at the end of each section definitely help make the course content easier to cement in your mind, and generally follow the content outlined in the lectures, and generally feature a unique little twist that you have to spend some time to figure out!

You're stupid program puts the video in a tiny box and doesn't use enough of the screen so I can see the details of what is happening. There needs to be a control to make the video fill the screen.

Skims over some topics without explanations.
Otherwise forces you to stretch and google to get more info.
Stackoverflow is comprehensive but can still be difficult for a beginner.

The course was a good match for me. Somethings are different with the newer version of Xcode and I could not follow. I do feel that this course gave me a great foundation for Swift.
