Swift vs. Swift2 on TreeHouse

I am following the whole program "Learn Swift" on TreeHouse now, and I am on the chapter named "Swift Enums and Structs".

But I have just been notified by TreeHouse to announce there is a new class named "Swift 2.0 Basics". So what do you think I should do? Stop "Learn Swift" program and switch to Swift 2.0 Basics from scratch? Or Swift and Swift 2.0 are almost the same and I should keep learning Swift 1.0 ? Are you guys going to add many more classes to Swift 2.0 soon?

Thanks for your help!

Hello:

Here is my point on this. . . weather you learn swift 1.2 or 2.0 you are at the end learning Swift. I took all the original courses of Swift, and finished the track, and as we speak, I am looking at all the new material that's being released. With this said, there is nothing wrong with going back to basics and start again, specially if you are a student and learning from scratch. I take it as a refresher, from a new point of view. Each teacher has a way of teaching things, and you may learn from that.

Trust me, you may learn something, and as you go through the track and then look back, you may forget a thing or two, so by re-taking a refreshed and updated course, it's not going to hurt you, on the contrary, it's going to help you advance and the language will become your native language. ;)

So MY advice is keep going, learn, practice, and retake.

Good luck
