[swift-users] [swift-corelibs-dev] NSKeyValueCoding and the Swift Foundation

[developer at jaywalker.biz]

I have to agree with comments found at the link in this email about swift and entry level. I am a new  developer just finishing school…in school we were barely getting into objective c when swift was released. From what I’ve been told, the agreement between schools and Apple doesn’t allow schools to teach how to code in-app purchases. Ive gotten no real help from Apple developer support, found ONE video on youtube I’m still trying to make work. How does this help Apple OR people who have made the investment in Apple devices and school to learn to develop FOR Apple?? Why is Apple so unsupportive??
