This is very cool indeed. I have spent a few minutes getting into it on an iPad and it looks like a great learning resource.

I'm very pleased that these resources are coming into being for people wanting to get started in programming and for Swift specifically. The Stanford course is great but too high-level for a lot of people. I have put up projects myself with pre-built modules to hopefully make it easier for people to get started - https://github.com/timburgess/ScienceKit

Sad to see ++ and -- among the first things you learn. Aren't they [slated](1) to be taken out of the language?

I've been enjoying this as just a fun thing to do sitting on the couch in the evening. Sit back and learn a bit of swift. Mainly just getting info on syntax. It's surprisingly relaxing.

1. Why the hell is this an iOS app? 2. How the hell is this an iOS app?

Umm, I used it while sitting in my daughters' swimming gala for several hours. It was splendid. At one point in the tutorial they suggest that you might want to open Xcode alongside, but tutorials on the Tube etc. are great.
