New Video Tutorial Series: Beginning Swift 2

As part of this year’s iOS 9 Feast, we are releasing a new video tutorial series every Thursday.

This week’s video tutorial series is an update to our popular Beginning Swift tutorial series by Greg Heo – for Swift 2!

In this update, Greg has refactored the materials to use playgrounds. That means you can learn the Swift 2 language without having to worry about platform-specific stuff, and then make the move onto iOS or OS X development when you’re ready.

This series takes you through the building blocks of Swift 2, including variables, optionals, functionals and structs – along with some relevant new Swift 2 features like the new guard and repeat/while syntax.

All 12 parts of the series are available today. You can check them out here:
