During a meeting last week, I was discussing with a colleague about Swift courses, in his view it’s too early to attend a Swift course because nobody has mastered it completely yet. I think it’s better, in the beginning, to build your knowledge with online resources. But besides the iBook and the official documentation released by Apple*, what are some good resources to start learning Swift?
I’ve done my homework and here is the list I’ve put together:
An Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Swift by Treehouse
Swift Cheat Sheet and Quick Reference by Ray Wenderlich
Swift Language on Youtube – the biggest set of Apple Swift programming language video tutorials and how-to guides.
