    Thought I'd share this for anyone who's interested - it's a pretty cool app with 200+ bite-sized lessons on the basics of Swift, which is used to build iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps.

    Link:
    Swifty - Learn how to code! Tutorials for Swift by Johannes Berger
    https://appsto.re/us/HPb10.i

    The first 2 chapters are free (20 mini-lessons) and then you pay $2.99 for the other 12 lessons, and the price includes all future lessons/updates on the app.

    It helps if you already know JavaScript but it's pretty simple if it's your first time coding.

    Enjoy!

    @Jordan you might be interested in this. It's fun to learn when you have 1-2 minutes of downtime throughout the day

    d---, this is really awesome. Seems to be a more adult version of what Apple wants to do with the Swift Playground. Thanks for letting me know, I'll check it out!

    For everybody who's interested: Stanford University offers a very nice Swift Course which you can view for free online. In fact, it's as easy as opening it in iTunes in order to take off.
    Here's a direct link for you guys:

    Swift Playground is meant to let you learn and use Swift code in a fun way. Apple probably has the upcoming generation of programmers in mind -- especially kids-- , but ever since it's about to be free (release: this fall), I'll check it out too!
