Dear Treehouse,
I am a new Treehouse member interested in learning Swift for a skill building assignment for my graduate studies. However, it seems that there is not a Swift 3.0 course yet.
I realize that there is a iOS Development with Swift 2.0 Track. When will the Swift 3.0 Track be released?
Do you recommend I do 2.0 in the meantime or will it confuse me by the time 3.0 is released? What are the major differences?
Please help.
Andrew

Treehouse TeacherThanks Jhoan Arango for answering--we couldn't have said it better ourselves! Pasan has started working on Swift 3 versions of the first courses in the track, but because of Apple's own timeline and NDAs we can't record until Xcode 8 is officially released. We'll start on that ASAP and then get the courses out a little while afterwards, but it'll take us a little bit of time.
You should absolutely start with Swift 2 as so much, especially the foundational concepts, will still apply. The pending changes are generally more advanced, and you can keep them in mind with these two blog posts from Pasan:
We plan on refreshing all the Swift 2 content with the latest changes over the rest of this year. Stay tuned for those, but you will not be disappointed or disadvantaged by taking the Swift 2 versions in the mean time.

14,575 PointsHello Andrew :
Swift 3.0 is being just released, I doubt they will have a complete course on swift 3.0. They might release a video or two about some of the changes. I suggest you complete all the courses on Swift 2.0 so by the time 3.0 is released you will be familiar with it. There are some significant changes, but you will understand them better if you have knowledge from 2.0.
Hope this helps
