Excellent work covering all of this material. You are a natural born teacher and programmer. Keep up the great work. I am really learning a lot here.

Thanks for your videos I find them very helpful. I appreciate that you have taken the time and effort to make these and upload them to YouTube for free. You are a blessing to this planet.

About 10 years ago when I was attending a "Programming Language" class at my college, I wondered why I had to put "break" every time when 99% of the time I want it to break and only 1% time I want it to fall through. Not to mention that it is prone to create nasty bug if I forget to add "break".

So, I asked the professor wouldn't it make more sense if it breaks by default and use a keyword like "continue" to fall through only when needed. I do not remember his response exactly but I think he just told me to look up the BNF of the languages (not really a good answer, I think).

So, in Swift, it works in the way as I think more logical. Break by default, fall through when needed.

Thank you!!!

This is such an amazing tutorial! I hope that you can show in the end how to use all these methods together. I'm getting the hang of them individually, but I still find it hard to put them together for "real use".

Amazing and easy to follow. I learned so much about the language within 20 minutes! Trying to watch all parts of your tutorial ASAP!

I literally cried tears of joy after watching this tutorial! Thank you so much for this.

[folarichards]

I am fairly new to programming and i really like your tutorials. I really understand it and I enjoy learning from you. Thank you Skip :).

Great tutorial. I code in java for college and I stumbled on yours for swift. Really comprehensive explanations. The only part I didn't understand was the nsdateformatter and locale stuff.

This is a fantastic tutorial, I have learned a lot already and am excited to continue, so thank you!
 I noticed that Swift has changed the way you declare arrays since this video was uploaded:
var oldArray[]:String = ["old", "way"]
var newArray:[String] = ["new", "way"]

It's  great tutorial for the beginners. Thanks a lot for sharing!!!

Thanks for making this tutorial! I'll be watching this on my downtime between web development and C#!

Don't get why this is so popular since it's already outdated with latest version of Swift so it will only confuse as you can see reading the comments.
Reasons being that println no longer works. Just use print.
Need to use three dots ... for range operator in for loop. Don't know why 2 is being  used here. I'm guessing the very early beta version of Swift that is used in this video is the problem. what was .. is now ..<
"Array types are now written with the brackets around the element type"  var myArray:String[] = ["hello", "there", "miss", ]  Needs to be:  var myArray:[String] = ["hello", "there", "miss", ]
etc...
Makes me wonder how many people actually tried to run this code in a playground vs just watching it and thinking they learned Swift LOL!
Really needs to be updated to be helpful and not cause confusion.

Short, simple and dynamic. Interesting language!

[ericpalyan]

This language is beautiful.
Excellent tutorial, keep it up!

You make great tutorials--they are easy to understand and follow. Also, you have a soothing voice lol

[crazypills]

wonderful video. thank you for your time and effort into making these! you're very easy to understand. we non programmers tend to have a hard time with this stuff but you make it easier to understand. subscribed!

+NAROKOZ2008 “Unlike many other languages, Swift does not require you to write a semicolon (;) after each statement in your code, although you can do so if you wish. Semicolons are required, however, if you want to write multiple separate statements on a single line”
