Outdated Course
This course uses Swift 1, which is now outdated. We've built a complete guide to help you learn Swift, whether you're just getting started with the basics or you want to explore more advanced topics: Learn Swift.
At Apple's annual WWDC in 2014, it announced the creation and release of a brand new programming language: Swift. The idea is to use this language going forward when creating apps that target both iOS and OS X operating systems. While Swift is not currently required to be used on these platforms, we definitely shouldn't be waiting around to learn about the basic constructs and how to use it. So let's dive right in and get our feet wet by learning the basics of the language and getting familiar with the basic concepts.
