I didn't get the text of print in my console. Do i need to download something else for it. For now i just downloaded the Xcode from app store and nothing else.

This is an older video using Swift 1.x and Xcode 6.x.
If you have recently downloaded Xcode, you more likely have the new/updated 7.x version and that uses Swift 2.x. There are many changes between the two and one the bigger changes is how the console works.
I recommend that you pause the course you are on and go through the Swift 2.0 Track as this will be more relevant and up-to-date.
If, after you have complete Swift 2.0, you feel like it, you could go back and do the Swift 1.0 Track. There are a few things not covered yet in the 2.0, but also, you can see how fast and how much languages can change and evolve.
Keep Coding!

4,282 PointsOne more question in general. How useful has Treehouse been to you in really learning coding and actually building useful programs from it? My sole purpose learning from Treehouse is that I am interested in making this one specific app. And for that I need to know iOS and android development. Thats why i am here. I have some good base in Java and wrote some simple programs in C++. But never really made anything useful from the prog knowledge I had. Would you say if I go on doing iOS courses here on Treehouse, I should capable enough to make apps off my own. Cuz thats the one thing that I really lack: I understand the prog concepts really well but haven't been able to create something valuable for the stuff I learned..

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsI can't say for sure how Treehouse will or will not benefit your specific need, but I can say that it's been invaluable for me. Before Treehouse, I went through a few others, but none have been as in-depth or as valuable as Treehouse for me.
If iOS development is what you need, I would do the Swift 2 Track, then if you're not really pressed for time, do the Swift 1.0 Track, as this will give you some additional knowledge and show you how the new language of Swift has evolved and changed in a very short period of time.
You could then look at the new and updated Objective-C Basic course, or even go further on with the rest of the Objective-C Track.
Treehouse has a lot to offer, and I've found them to be the most logical and straightforward learning site so far... but that's just my opinion.
