Displaying API Data with Collection Views in Objective-C in Swift track?

I was scrolling through the Swift track after being done most of it. The next course in my track is called Displaying API Data with Collection Views in Objective-C which is an Objective C track and requires Objective C course prerequisite. I was wondering why it was placed in the Swift 2.0 track

Thanks in advance

Hi Nader,

I'm not entirely sure why the Collection Views course is the one in Objective-C, but knowing how to code in Objective-C is definitely an important skill for an iOS developer to have, even if 90% of your work will be in Swift. Lots of legacy code out there is in Objective-C, and lots (most?) of Apple's own frameworks are still written in Objective-C.

As for the pre-requisites, they should be covered in the Objective-C for Swift developers course that's part of the iOS with Swift 2.0 track.

Cheers :beers:
