<div>Hi George, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It’s a huge step up in Programmer friendliness IMO. Objective C was just too cryptic for the students to understand, especially for students coming from a zero programming background in earlier years, which is basically the problem in nearly all schools
here. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just to quote one of the developers on the Xcode forums, “High School teachers will be thanking Apple for this”. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ll be creating You Tube Videos and I’ll upload them to Edulists when they’re ready. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Check out this You Tube clip. </div>

<div>Hi Zach,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does it involve complex programming ala Objective C or is it manageable for both teacher and student?</div>
<div><br>

<div>Hi Cameron, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You may want to look at Swift instead of Objective C for Xcode. </div>
<div>It's new from Apple and I'm going to be busy over the holidays re-writing, and creating new ideas for the Xcode course here. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Graeme Summer's book is still useful but won't have Swift, unless something else has been planned. </div>
