My recommendation is: - Download the ebook that describes how to use the language. You can get it as an iBook or a PDF, or just view the documentation on the developer site. The ebook is really approachable and will show you how to do most things in the language. - Learn a little bit about Foundation and UIKit so you can use the Cocoa APIs. You can build command-line applications in Swift without touching any of the Foundation stuff, but without it you won't be able to do that much. - Go to Github and look at some of the projects people are doing. Check out their code for ideas as to what to do/what not to do, or how to solve problems that aren't discussed in the book.
