With the recent announcement of watchOS 2, many developers have been eager to learn all its new features and functionality. We'll be covering those features in other courses, but for this course Envato Tuts+ instructor Derek Jensen will be looking at watchOS 2 from the perspective of upgrading apps from the older watch platform.

In this course, Derek will walk you through the process of taking an existing application and upgrading it to use the new Swift 2.1 syntax as well as making it compatible with watchOS 2.
