Does anyone know if it is necessary to take IOS-objective C or if just swift is ok?

I saw the Swift course and I wasn't sure if it is still necessary to learn objective C

If you want a job, learn objective-c first, if you want to make your own app or just learning as a hobby then learn swift. Majority of apps out there are written in obj-c and those companies need people who can understand objective-c and add features to the app.

Just learn swift and then learn objective-c if you have never programmed before.

This is perfect. Thanks man! I wasn't sure if swift was a new programming language that replaces objective-c.

I'm new to programming.

No problem.

Both languages are in use, not a replacement for objective-c but maybe 5 or 10 years from now...

I see. Thanks again. I'm really looking forward to this course

It's gonna be awesome! Have fun and get really into it. before you know it, you'll be able to build almost anything you can think of.

That's wassup!
