Since Xcode 8 is out, will you redo the videos?

enjoy the videos this far, but notices some problems, and won't be worth paying for it if some code won't be valid

Thanks

I haven't completed all of these courses yet, but I noticed as I was progressing through the basic Swift courses that there were a few parts of the language that were deprecated for Swift 3.0 (Xcode 8 beta uses Swift 3 beta). These include the ++ and -- operators being removed, for example. You would use += 1 or -= 1 instead in this particular case. Xcode is usually very helpful with suggesting how to change your code to be compatible and resolve those warnings/errors.

In general, it's an important skill to be able to work through these issues, as you'll find that the languages and coding editors you work with will change constantly and you will definitely run into these issues, whether in Treehouse or not. Consider using Xcode 7.3.1, which is the current version on the App Store as of the time of this post, instead of moving to the Xcode 8 beta. Either way, keep plugging away and ask for help on the forums when you run into compatibility issues, this helps flag issues for the Treehouse staff to make note of so they can update the courses!
