Learn Apple's Swift programming language interactively through these playgrounds.

Programmers familiar with C++ and/or Objective-C.

XCode 6 or above (and probably a Mac to run it on.)

More than a primer, these playgrounds are intended to get programmers up to speed on Swift as fast as possible so they can begin using Swift productively.

These playgrounds only cover the language. They do not dig into the Swift Standard Library or other APIs.

To increase your understanding, you are encouraged to experiment with them along the way. Play the 'what-if' game. These are live playgrounds which offer near-realtime feedback of edits.

I created these while working my way through the "Laugnage Guide" section of Apple's book, "The Swift Programming Language". I feel the information from that section is represented here fairly completely and very concisely. Many of the samples come directly from the book. Some portions from the book's "Language Reference" section were also included where I felt a bit more information was helpful.

If you don't already have the book, it's free. You should probably get it.

Using Swift Playgrounds Builder we now have easier to read Playgrounds written in Markdown.

After cloning this repository, install Node.js.

The run:

npm install

which will install all of the requirements for developing.

The Sources/ directory contains all of the source Markdown files. The Playgrounds/ directory contains all of the final Playground files.

Run grunt in your Terminal to build the Playground files from the Sources. Grunt will also watch for any changes and will automatically build the Playgrounds.
