Hello,
I am using Xcode Version 8.0 (8A218a) and when ever I try to mimic exactly what Passant is teaching or download his playground files, the project will not compile correctly and i'm left with tons of errors like "Expected Declaration" and so on.

Courses Plus Student 11,071 PointsXcode 8 comes with Swift 3, which introduced some subtle, but also many fundamental syntax changes. The Treehouse courses are Swift 2.0 (as the title suggests). When you open a Swift 2 project in Xcode 8, it should ask you if you want to migrate to Swift 3 syntax. A migration guide can also be found at Apples own Swift.org. This is what the whole community is going through at the moment. Swift is not a "stable" language yet and evolves steadily.
Having said that, big up to Treehouse for doing these detailed video courses regardless of their short half-life. And no, mods are not Treehouse staff ;)
Hope that helps :)

That totally make sense now that I see they have made updates for the same courses using Swift 3!
