Essential  Swift: The First Step in Developing Modern Apps

In this tutorial, you can learn the essential aspects of Apple’s latest technology for developing apps for both OS X and for iOS.  Once you learn the essential aspects of the Swift programming language, you can go on to learn how to develop apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

By learning the Swift language first, and then learning how to make apps second, you won’t be as overwhelmed by how much there is to learn.

The lessons in “Essential Swift” are sequenced in a logical order, including the things that you must know, and leaving intermediate and advanced features of the language for later; perhaps after you have finished this course and have begun to learn to develop apps.

This course if free for the time being.  Donations are  appreciated :).

Shiva Narrthine from the iOS Blog posted an Tutorial how to build an simple To Do List App with Apple Swift Language. He guides you through all the Steps from creating the project in X-Code over building the User Interface, the Controllers and coding the Logic. I personally recommend this Tutorial to all developers that want to create their first App in Swift. This pretty simple App is the perfekt entry to the world of Swift. Once you’ve finished the Tutorial you can go on and add additional Features like priorities for tasks, deadlines or task groups. Just be creative!

Andrei Puni published a Tutorial about Classes in Swift Language. In this Tutorial you can learn how to create Classes, deal with Initializers and how to create custom Initializers. This a very basic Tutorial, but helpful with references to the official Swift documentation.

The second Part of the Tutorial describes how to work with Inheritance, Overwriting, Base Classes and Protocols.

Today I found this Tutorial on gamefromscratch.com. It’s the first one out of an yet unfinished series about Game Development with Swift and SpriteKit. This first Tutorial shows you how to create an SpriteKit/Swift Application in X-code 6 and how to display a Sprite in the Application using SKSpriteNode.

With the release of the Swift language Apple published their official getting started Guide “A Swift Tour”. This Tutorial gives you an quick overview over the Swift language and provides the classic “Hello World”-Tutorial.
