Conclusion

  • Where now?

Who is this for?

This is aimed at people who want to learn Swift quickly. That might be someone who just wants a broad overview, it might be someone who prefers a "just the facts" approach to learn, or someone who can already code in other languages.

What if this is too fast for me?

You should read Hacking with Swift – it has a much slower, more thorough introduction to Swift.

Will this teach me iOS programming?

No. This focuses specifically on the Swift language. If you want to learn Swift you should read Hacking with Swift.

Do all videos really last sixty seconds or less?

Yes! Even the more advanced ones.

Is the online edition the same?

Yes – you can read Swift in Sixty Seconds online at this link if you want. This download edition contains the same content, albeit in download form so you can watch whenever and wherever you want.
