Enum init() doesn't seem to return an optional in Swift 2

It might be good to update the video description for errata related to Swift 2.

I believe you're still getting an optional, but the playground doesn't complain. In the example if you pass in "10" into firstDayOfWeek, you still get a nil back, so best practices dictate that you still use the if let statement. No, Amit Bijlani ?

There are many things that seem to have changed in Swift 2 but some googling usually resolves the misunderstanding. It would be great if the videos were updated for Swift 2 but that's probably a time consuming thing.

As David mentioned you still get an optional back.
