iOS Good online courses for beginners?

[SHNXX]

Hi

I was wondering what are some good online courses available for coding on Swift.
I have subscription to the Lynda.com, Team treehouse, and have toyed around with code academy, udemy, coursera and some YouTube content.... But with so many options it's hard to tell which is a good starting point.
My programming experience is limited: some high school AP course on C++, one short C/C++ course in college, some hacking with MATLAB for data analysis and running scripts and then some low level hacking around with JavaScript.

Also is it a good idea to start iOS coding with apple watch or the iPhone?

There isn't too much stuff out there yet for Swift specifically.

Here's a place to start if your brand new to programming:
Swifty

I also really like this course on iTunes U. Understanding basic programming concepts is a prerequisite, but this course is a great way to start programming in the Xcode IDE, and the professor does an excellent job.
CS193P by Stanford (https://itun.es/us/dhNs5)

Before you dig too deep, you should decide what path you want to take. Generally speaking mobile games are a whole different ball game.

There's also an issue of learning to develop a specific app for yourself to market vs learning to get a job.

Learning to program is not so easy, having a specific goal in mind helps find a direction.

I like Lynda.com and I'm going thru the Code Coalition right now.

One other note, esp about YouTube, watch the dates of the content. Things change quickly.

iTunes U has apart from Stanford (CS106, 107, then CS193p) has the Plymouth UK uni course all for free.

EDIT - Check out the Lynda.com courses - they range from absolute beginner, to Swift essentials, to more.

bitfountain.io has good affordable iOS courses. They are about to launch an iOS 9 course. The iTunes course is difficult for starters.
