About this course

Introduction to Swift Programming is the first course in a four part specialization series that will provide you with the tools and skills necessary to develop an iOS App from scratch. By the end of this first course you will be able to demonstrate intermediate application of programming in Swift, the powerful new programming language for iOS. Guided by best practices you will become proficient with syntax, object oriented principles, memory management, functional concepts and more in programming with Swift.

This course is unique in its dedication to teaching Swift programming. With new features and capabilities you will be at the forefront of writing iOS apps. Currently this course is taught using Swift 2. The team is aware of the release of Swift 3 and will be making edits to the course in time. Please be aware that at this time the instruction is entirely with Swift 2. Please note that to take part in this course (and the full specialization) it is required to have a Mac computer and, though not required, ideally an iPhone, iPod, or an iPad. NOTE: This course has been designed and tested (and content delivered) on a Mac. While we are aware of hacks and workarounds for running Mac in a virtual machine on windows we do not recommended a PC. We hope you have fun on this new adventure.

This course is good to start with Swift programming in IOS. this had help me a lot, while not having much time to devote. I appreciate this.

This is a great starter course, the Reading Materials are a great way to learn directly from the source with a clearer understanding thanks to the videos. Thank you!

It needs some updating, but there is still a lot of useful information. It provides a good structure for learning Swift programming.

Other than the fact that things are thought on an older version of swift, I don't find anything wrong about this course. It's been a great learning experience.

Easy to grasp a new programming language. Swift programming concepts such as closures, optionals clearly explained. Good course.

Amazing course with awesome material. A great way to start learning the basics of Swift and getting to know people that have the same aspiration of learning new stuff.

Was pretty good overall. I feel there was a lack of in-lecture questions in the first few videos. That aside, great course.

Good way to start learning swift. I hope other concepts will be explained in the next courses, but I have to say this course is held very well.

The course is good, but in my opinion, it's too basic for people who are already developers (in platforms other than iOS). Hopefully the next course in the serie will be a little bit deeper.

The videos were a bit unfocused, but over all I learned a good amount about Swift, and appreciate many of it's design decisions.

The course seemed to be very easy, I'd say even disappointingly easy, but then, when I started the final assignment, I realized that I was wrong. And it was so much fun developing filters.
