Hi everyone, my name is Eliot and I created the complete iOS 8 course with Swift. I have a passion for all things Apple and I'm super excited about the latest changes to iOS.
If you have any questions i'll be checking in on this thread during the day along with the co-creator John Nichols.
This course was designed for students with 0 programming knowledge. While I agree Objective-C can give you a deeper understanding of coding iOS feel free to jump right into this course especially since this will be easier to follow with the current tools. Plus learning the latest thing is always more fun.
I wondered what level this was designed for and didn't see that information at first glance (found it after seeing this comment). It might be a good idea to specify higher up on the page or under a separate header? I imagine that's information a lot of people are looking for…
Our course is more geared towards beginners but seeks to incorporate much of the depth available in the Stanford course. We also tried to break items down into smaller chunks then the 90 minute lectures in the Stanford course. Those with a CS background may find the Stanford course to be more their style since the instructor is world renowned teaching iOS.
If you have any questions i'll be checking in on this thread during the day along with the co-creator John Nichols.
If you are unsure about the platform or our style of teaching you can register for our iOS 7 course for free which is taught in Objective-C: http://bitfountain.io/course/the-complete-ios-7-course-learn...
