Hi, I am trying to follow along with the new Swift Basics course. I have downloaded Xcode but the version I have got is Version 5.1.1 so the playground option is not available. Is Xcode 6.0.1 being used here or do I have to have the Yosemite OS installed as well as Xcode 6.1 beta 2 for OS X Yosemite?

It's just that Amit show himself downloading it from the app store so I thought that it would be there as he shows in his course. Anyway I am downloading it now.
Thanks
