Beginner swift to intermidate swift, or beginner ios to intermidate ios for IPhone and mac apps? What's the difference?

Which one should I start with, I felt that both the swift course and the Ios course would teach about the same based on the trailers? Anyone here can tell me the difference and which one I should choose with an explanation on the differences of the courses? Thank you in advance :)

The difference is what you'll be learning. Swift is the language itself and iOS is the process of using Swift to build apps for iOS devices. Basically, in the Swift courses you're learning Swift whereas the iOS courses show you how to use Xcode's interface builder and other tools as well as the various libraries available on the iOS platform.

No doubt you'll learn different parts of swift in each one but I'd recommend that you start with the beginner swift course because without that you might not understand concepts in the swift intermediate course or the beginner iOS and intermediate iOS courses.

I hope that helps.
