16: Swift Playgrounds in the Classroom

I am really excited to share my interview with Joe Moretti, Anders Randler, and Daniel Budd, the authors of the new multitouch book *Swift Playgrounds in the Classroom.* We had a fantastic discussion of all of the materials available to to teach Swift, about the process of starting a coding program, and the many fantastic third party accessories that can be used to teach programming in Swift. I think you will really enjoy the episode. Note: please excuse the audio in some points in the episode as it was difficult to find a good time for a truly global exchange of ideas.
