I really enjoyed the free "CS193P" course from Stanford with Paul Hegarty. It is not 100% up-to-date but still a good start, covering Xcode/iOS8/Swift: https://itunes.apple.com/us/course/developing-ios-8-apps-swi...

I recommend this course whenever I have the opportunity.

I started iOS programming about a year ago and it really helped me with grasping how to use Auto Layout in XCode, once you learn that the API is easy to pickup if you have some experience in mobile development.

Swift is a pleasure to use.

These are paid, and not exactly a course but the Destroy All Software screencasts are great, and cover a lot of topics like shell scripting, VIM / EMACS, testing, refactoring etc. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts They're by Gary Bernhardt of Wat fame, which is also worth a watch for its presentation style and amusing content: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

Those are soo good. He has a talent for talking while typing and his style of presentation keeps you intrigued and content so densely packed it'll keep you rewinding saying, 'wait, wat was that?'
