Xcode is no where close as polished as other leading IDEs. I think this is a fact that should be outlined. I must however praise the lecturers for taking the time to go over some basic features of Xcode.

All in all this first course is great introduction to Swift. Good job guys!

I came to this course after already learning Swift from online tutorials to strengthen my foundations. However, I am only giving it 4 stars because the syntax for Swift has changed as of writing this review and is giving trouble. Everything was explained excellently!

The content is absolutely amazing. What I didn't really like was that the last assignment was a curve ball to me and most of the other students in my class. There was very little preparation to it and thus took a while to understand how to get started on it.

it's nicely designed, but it would be great if the course designers have their input in evaluating our projects and most importantly updating the material to the latest swift version as this is the whole purpose of why one would register in this course.

I liked it, everything is well described, clear and helpful.

The last assignment description is not clear. The Peer Review reviewing criteria is not clear as well. It could be understood by many ways. They should enhance the peer review instructions.

The course is overall very useful and I learned a lot, although a component of self-learning is essential to succeed. I think it would be ideal if the peer assignment would allow more shades in the grading, other than "Yes" or "No".

If you have prior experience with an OOP language, this course is easy to follow. The only downside is the use of an older XCode / Swift version. I, however, don't think the syntax is that much different between Swift 2.x and 3.x.

I am enjoying the class. I'm taking it simultaneously with some of the others in the specialization, which is I think the right decision. It's a great quick intro, but it's definitely not ideal for newbies to programming.

Material very well communicated. Instructors showed a great deed of enthusiasm and were very knowledgable. However, I felt like the course was outdated to some extend.

All in all, was a great experience!

The course is good, but in my opinion, it's too basic for people who are already developers (in platforms other than iOS). Hopefully the next course in the serie will be a little bit deeper.

Nice course but a but a bit hard when you have no programming skills. In fact I do have some programming skill and found it hard to follow. I would also add more exercise to do than Quizzes.

it's nice intro to swift, but i recommend that you'd add reading the swift book from apple as people go through the course, even as "to understand more" option, thanks a lot for the course.

Although I've programming experience, this course's assignment is not easy to complete.

I recommend to study Object-oriented language such as Java or C++ before taking this course.

This is a great starter course, the Reading Materials are a great way to learn directly from the source with a clearer understanding thanks to the videos. Thank you!

The course is OK, but very basic. If you had any programming experience before, it will seem too easy for you. The 5-weeks material can be learned in 1 week.

Good way to start learning swift. I hope other concepts will be explained in the next courses, but I have to say this course is held very well.

It's very interesting and useful to learn for Swift programming. And through this course, I realized what objective oriented programming is.

This course is good to start with Swift programming in IOS. this had help me a lot, while not having much time to devote. I appreciate this.

It needs some updating, but there is still a lot of useful information. It provides a good structure for learning Swift programming.

The videos were a bit unfocused, but over all I learned a good amount about Swift, and appreciate many of it's design decisions.

Was pretty good overall. I feel there was a lack of in-lecture questions in the first few videos. That aside, great course.

This course is good but need to update. Please update this course with new XCode and swift syntax which is used in demo.

Nice course, but would be better if the examples were thought through before demonstration, rather than do it extempore.

Pretty good basic course. Not that good as classic Scala Functional Programming (being simply awesome) but still good.

Unnecessary with the Swift vs Objective C session, did not provide any value - otherwise fairly good basic course
