Swifty

@robjama yes! that's something i have in mind. i have it on my (very long) todo list ;)

@robjama @triplej_b — Let me know if you need any help. :-)

@imcatnoone It seems like this will teach you the general nuances of Swift, which is great if this is your first time programming, or first time programming in Swift. For building an app, you will be using iOS libraries which are just recipes for common things like creating a list of items, doing an animation, moving from screen to screen. If your goal is to learn iOS dev I think one of the best ways is to have an app in mind, break it down to a single function/use case and build that. @Codepath we start by teaching designers how to use storyboard to make invision like prototypes. Then we add states/delays, then animations/gestures. In the last weeks we talk about apis/data. We never go over learning swift, we just teach what you need along the way using things like variables, numbers (floats) vs strings, and arrays/dictionaries. Treehouse also has good build an app from scratch tutorials. Even if you do one of those, building your own from the ground up is probably when the light switch will come on

@anderson760 I would go with Swift instead of Obj-C. In Swifty you will learn Swift and only Swift at the moment. (Probably this will change in the future.)

@Codepath @anderson760 This makes a lot of sense, Joe. Definitely going to check out both.

@thomasmeagher thanks very much :)

@triplej_b No problem! What are your future plans and what's coming next for Swifty?

@thomasmeagher more advanced lectures about topics like closures etc. :)

@bramk Feel free to reach out at hey@marckohlbrugge.com

@marckohlbrugge will do ;)

@d2burke thanks! i believe all chapters are worth the money. i know the first chapters are more beginner related topics. advanced topics like closures are in the work!

@triplej_b Ah, yes, I'm sorry. I definitely didn't mean to insinuate that the rest of the content wasn't worth the $$ :) Great work man.

@nicomage You will learn Swift from ground up. No experience required!

@triplej_b Awesome. Thanks 👍
